Best way to purchase a couple iPhone X’s?

Wait until September when the new iPhones come out and buy them used from Swappa.

Why trust used quality?

You're not buying a used car.

A phone either works or it doesn't.

There is no wear and tear.

I have never understood the idea about financing a cell phone. If you don't have the money to just buy one outright, then you're really making an impulse buy and it's not a smart financial decision

Phones have become the primary computing device for the masses. My wife fires up her laptop once every few weeks at most because most of the information search, creation and consumption she needs to do she does on her phone and I think that's fairly common these days. Whether it's a good financial decision to buy an iPhone X vs. other less expensive is certainly debatable, but I don't think you can dismiss purchasing a phone as an impulse buy. It provides a lot of utility to most people and is well worth an investment.

Agreed. Considering how powerful phones are now, along with how often people use them, $30/month or whatever is nothing.

Just purchase them outright. Looking on Apple's store, they are sold for $999. From what you listed at 38/month for 30 months, that comes out to $1,140. I have never understood the idea about financing a cell phone. If you don't have the money to just buy one outright, then you're really making an impulse buy and it's not a smart financial decision. If you don't have the cash on hand, simply save up the money first.

The $38 for 30 months price is for the 256GB model which sells for $1,149. You aren't paying more for a phone if you finance it with your carrier. Accepting 0% terms isn't a bad financial decision.

you get a $30/line credit per month for every phone that is on the payment plan.

if your argument is that they don't subsidize phones anymore, they technically do, just not the first one..Like a buy1get1

2 x 38 = 76 per mo. for 30 month
