Hey why does EE apple device price differ to that of apple? 

1tb iphone 16 pro max on ee is £1734.66 and on apple it is £1599? 

thanks

@Jay285  Because EE is selling you the device not Apple. It’s called making a profit.  Nothing stopping you from getting it from Apple over a 24 month contract.  Apple sell it at 0% interest over 24 months and EE do but at their price.  

EE say it’s interest free but it’s what price they sell it for not what Apple sell it for.    Basically what you agreed to purchase it for what they sell it at.

@Jay285 I believe the reasoning is that with EE you get the extended warranty for the lifetime of the plan (24 or 36 months) which goes beyond the standard Apple 1 Year Limited Warranty period for any manufacturing defects/faults that may develop.
