I suppose that's true for some types of financing, but looking more into this particular plan, it all comes down to how much you value the bundled services... and they don't seem stellar to me. The math I'm seeing from the time of announcement suggests you'd pay $1080 for a $599 smartphone or $1320 for a $899 smartphone. Even if you were planning on paying for YouTube Premium at full price, inflation still has a tough time beating that.
