Sprint today announced a new program that will make it easier for customers to afford the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Sprint's iPhone 6 leasing program allows subscribers to obtain the iPhone 6 for $0 down followed by 24 monthly payments of $20 (16-GB version). The 64-GB model costs $25 per month and the $128-GB model costs $30 per month. After two years, customers can turn the device in and receive the next-generation iPhone under the same terms. The iPhone 6 Plus will cost $5 more per month for each storage variant. Additionally, Sprint said the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be eligible for a new Simply Unlimited plan that offers unlimited talk, text, and data for just $50 per month for a single line. Sprint does not throttle data speeds, nor does it charge overages. Sprint's already-announced family plans (four to ten lines) are being offered at the existing rates. Families looking to finance the iPhone 6 can make use of Sprint's Easy Pay program. Last, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are Sprint Spark-compatible, which means they operate on Sprint's faster LTE service.
