Sprint has come up with a new program for smartphone buyers loyal to Apple who want to upgrade to a brand new iPhone every year, 9to5Mac reports. The carrier has a brand new 12-month lease plan for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus starting at $80 per month, which will let a subscriber grab one of Apple’s latest iPhone models starting on November 14th and use it until the 2015 versions come along.

The mobile operator will also offer an iPhone for Life plan to customers interested in using the iPhone 5s for 24 months, starting at $70 per month.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus plans are more expensive, as Sprint will charge users differently for the chosen iPhone 6 model; plans range from $30 per month for the 16GB iPhone 6 all the way up to $45 for the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus. In addition to that, users will pay $50 per month for unlimited talk, text and data.

At the end of the iPhone lease, users can either jump to the next model, keep using the device and pay the same monthly payments, purchase the handset outright or return it and end the service.

Sprint says that its iPhone for Life plan is cheaper than competing offers from AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
