If you’re looking to get a new iPad for as little cash as possible, here’s an intriguing offer: Starting tomorrow, Sprint is letting customers lease an iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3 for as little as $17 per month.
It’s an unusual offer, and one that Sprint describes as an “industry first.” The lease itself lasts 24 months and, enticingly, doesn’t require any upfront costs.
So what are the prices for an iPad lease from Sprint?
For the iPad mini 3 you’ll pay $17 per month for the 16GB model, $21 for 64GB or $25 for 128GB.
For the iPad Air 2 you’ll pay $20 per month for the 16GB, $24 for 64GB or $28 for 128GB.
At the end of the 24-month period, customers have the opportunity to turn in the device and lease a newer model for zero down. Alternatively, they can continue leasing the existing iPad on a month-to-month basis, purchase the leased tablet or return it and terminate the service.
It’s definitely not the most conventional way to get your mitts on a new iPad, but if you don’t have the money to buy one outright it’s a pretty good offer that’s well worth exploring.
