Apple now lets you pay for cellular iPads over 3 years, and it’s a sign of a pricey trend that won’t halt soon

Apple has introduced a new payment plan allowing customers to spread out the cost of cellular iPads over three years, addressing concerns about the higher upfront prices of these devices. This move not only helps make the tablets more affordable upfront but also signals a broader trend among tech companies to offer extended payment options. It's a strategic response to consumer demand for more flexible financing, which could influence purchasing decisions and set a precedent for other manufacturers.
