Can I buy a new iPhone and make monthly payments without having a contract carrier like at&t or Verizon?

I want to buy a new iPhone but I would like to pay monthly instead of paying all at once. The only time I see the option to pay monthly is if I click on an iPhone that uses at&t or Verizon. I have straight talk which is a contract free company so I buy iPhones with the unlocked SIM card option. Can I pay monthly for my new iPhone while buying an unlocked phone?

Looks like you can with iPhone payments. But I believe it has to be done in store and is financed by citizens one bank. Here are the terms

See Apple Financing with Barclaycard Credit Card - Apple

If you qualify you get a term limited interest free loan from Barclays Bank for the price of the iPhone. Barclays pays Apple and you pay off the consumer credit card loan with Barclays.

That's what credit cards are for.
