Buy iPhone in installments

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding an issue that I have recently encountered. As an Iranian citizen residing in Europe, I was disappointed to learn that I am unable to purchase an Apple device through an installment plan.

This is particularly disheartening considering that many Iranians, including myself, have been loyal users of Apple products for years. Despite holding European residency, it seems that access to such financing options remains unavailable to us.

I kindly request clarification on this matter and would appreciate any steps Apple can take to make its services more inclusive for customers like me.
