Is there any way I can buy a iPhone by monthly payment method?

I am an international student and have been in the US for more than 1 year. I am currently using the AT&T and attending college and I just don’t know if I can buy an iPhone by monthly payment method- that means I have to apply for the apple credit card, isn’t it? However, I am pretty sure that I won’t succeeded. So please anyone help me out whether there is anyway I can buy a iphone by monthly payment method???????

Thank you :))))

No, they won't accept a debit card for monthly payments. If you are using AT&T as your cell service provider talk to them about purchasing an iPhone through them with monthly payments.

No, that is not required. If you used the Apple Card, you would earn 3% credit on your purchase, but that's not required.

What is required, however, is shown here.

Here are the "full terms" referred to above.

Legal - iPhone Installments - Apple

Your main hurdle with any installment option or zero interest finance option will be the credit check. You will have to have a USA social security number and be in the credit bureau’s system.
