Under its scheme, users will commit to paying between $32 and $44 a month for two years and will receive a new, unlocked iPhone each year, as well as hardware and software support, and coverage for two accidental damage incidents.

The report came less than two weeks after Apple announcement of its leasing plan called the “iPhone Upgrade Program” at its September event, where it also revealed the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, the iPad Pro and an updated Apple TV.
What is not known at this time is the Samsung smartphone leasing lineup, or the pricing, although we are sure those details will become clearer once Samsung United States of America decides to make this announcement official. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has better resolution than the Note 4 and as a result, it provides clearer and sharper images than the iPhone 6.
Apple’s iPhone program for upgrades is price competitively with carrier plans, so if you keep in mind to include the cost of an Apple it is considered a solid choice for anyone who does not have a current two-year deal as an option for their carrier.
The rumor also has it that the Samsung Galaxy S7 will have an all-metal frame.
Samsung, the Korean colossal company, is already planning to release the Samsung Galaxy S7 in late February, 2016. While the Galaxy Note 5 is interesting from all aspects, starting with design and down to the camera, this time, we’ll be focusing on battery life in comparison to Apple’s own pride and joy of the year, the iPhone 6S.
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile also offer their own carrier financing plans for iPhones and Galaxy smartphones, each breaking down the full price of the device into equal monthly payments.
But in the coming months, we won’t be surprised to see more handset makers begin offering similar programs.
What Apple does, Samsung often tries to do better. Samsung is developing a new flagship with the Galaxy S7 and is said to have a magnesium alloy that will be much more durable than the aluminum used for high-end phones.
