Upgrade iPhone plan in Europe

Hello,

I understand that laws are different, but I don't quite understand why the upgrade plan for Apple iPhone is so different in the US that in Europe. In France, it's more of like taking out a loan to the get the phone than the US version of the plan. Anyone know if it will change? And the best deal I found for France was with FNAC, has anyone found better?

Y-t-il un meilleur offre que celui du FNAC pour être comparable au plan US pour l'acquisition d'un iPhone avec paiement mensuel et MAJ des iPhone après 12 mois?

iPad 2, Other OS, iOS7

Hi

The iPhone Upgrade Program is currently only available to customers in the US, UK and China.

This is different than the financing payment option for iPhone (which is also offered in the US, UK and China).

You are referring to the financing payment option for France:

I'm afraid that no-one here can tell you anything about Apple's unannounced plans. If you would like to suggest that Apple considers offering the iPhone Upgrade Program in France, you can do so here:

No one here would have any inside information on why Apple choses to do things the way the do. Speculation about future Apple plans is also prohibited by the Terms of Use of these forums.

Best of luck.
