    Apple Watch financing is also going from 24 -> 12 months which I can see GS pushing for this change. It allows them re coup the money they lent out quicker.

    The carrier restriction is such an odd move though. Presumably this would be some deal between Apple and the big three and Apple gets a cut for only having those carriers as options?

    On the flip side does not bother me personally too much. I’m on a 4 year (or break) cycle and I still have 2 more years to go for now. Would not consider a big three ever. The savings from picking a MVNO in the US are plenty.
