I want to buy an iPhone without selecting a carrier. Is it still possible to use my Apple card and get 2year no interest payments

Apple says you can choose 2 year interest free financing at checkout using your Apple Card, but you must choose a carrier at checkout, not later --> Apple Card - Monthly Installments - Apple

To the best of my knowledge both loopholes that were previously used to bypass the carrier activation requirement have been eliminated.

No
