Apple working on hardware subscription service for iPhone, other products
The existing Apple iPhone Upgrade Program requires a postpaid account with one of the big 3 (or 4): AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, or Sprint (now T-Mobile). I have T-Mobile prepaid and would prefer to use the iPhone Upgrade Program and get a new iPhone every year. I have tried multiple times and confirmed with Apple Support that prepaid and smaller carriers do not qualify. I used Apple Card Monthly Installments instead. I suspect Apple cut an exclusivity deal with the big 3 for the refurb and resale of traded-in iPhones to make the program more viable. I would like to see this rumored new Apple Hardware subscription come forth but with the same freedom of choice offered by the Apple Card Monthly Installments, namely SIM-free Activate at a Later Time.
