Apple Pay Later: A Guide to the iPhone's New Buy Now Pay Later Plan

The new service is designed to provide more flexibility and convenience for users who may not have the funds available at the time of purchase.

How it Works

Apple Pay Later offers two different payment options, known as "Apple Pay Later Monthly Installments" and "Apple Pay Later in Full." The monthly installment option allows users to split their payment into equal monthly installments over a set period, while the in full option allows users to defer their payment for a specified period. To use the service, users need to sign up for Apple Pay Later in the Wallet app on their iPhone. Once signed up, users can select the payment option that suits them best and proceed with their purchase.

Interest Rates and Fees

Apple Pay Later charges interest on monthly installment payments, which can range from 2.99% to 29.99% depending on the user's credit score. The interest rate is fixed for the duration of the payment plan, and users will be informed of the interest rate before they proceed with their purchase. Late fees may also apply if users fail to make their payments on time. The fee amount varies depending on the payment plan and the amount owed.
