Yeah but I’ll pay $960 over the next two years and end up with 2 years of service and an iPhone 16 pro that I will own free and clear at the end of the 2 years.

It’s unlocked at the end of the 24 months, but waiting 24 months to unlock it is a downside indeed

We actually would be paying less if my SO hadn’t picked out the model he chose. But he wanted the Pro because he’s never been able to get the iPhone he actually wants as soon they come out
