    Best to sell it second hand somewhere and use that credit to buy a new one.

    €65 for my iPhone 5 32GB. Maybe this is what they do? The worse the phone is, the more they offer? Trade in an iPhone 1 and you get a 2% equity stake in Apple.

    And they then sell it as a refurbished phone for 500 euro.

    I see they have it in the UK for £33.45 p/m.

    Even if they had it here I can only imagine what they'd be charging. Probably not under €45 I'd say.

    You need to physically go to an Apple store to apply for this. It's not available on website.

    Did you even read the T&C's of the Programme?

    You will be asked to provide your date of birth, employment details, and UK home address/es from the last three years for a credit check. You will also need your bank account number and sort code to set up a direct debit.
