Apple also revealed that users enrolled in the corporate plan will be able to switch quickly between different iPhone models by paying the difference in the amount at any given point of time.

Even though the corporate leasing package sounds attractive, there will be hidden conditions in the Apple T&C. Hence, you should read them carefully before opting to buy iPhones under this plan.
