Apple adds new 36-month financing options for iPad purchases

Apple has introduced extended financing options for cellular iPads, now allowing customers to spread out payments over 36 months through AT&T and Verizon. This move could make iPads more accessible to a broader audience, particularly those who prefer installment payments. The decision likely aims to boost sales by accommodating more purchasing preferences, especially as competition in the tablet market remains fierce. This new financing could also signal Apple's strategy to strengthen its relationship with major carriers for better service integration.
