The demise of the BlackBerry's iconic Qwerty phones has paved the way for Apple's iPhone to dominate the enterprise smartphone space in the country. In fact most of the corporate employees dream of owning an iPhone and well what better than getting one from the office?

To lure more corporate firms to show interest in their recently launched iPhone SE, Apple has announced a leasing plan for same. Since its launch on April 8, Apple iPhone SE has reportedly failed to get much market traction. So here a list of few important things you need to know for leasing a new iPhone!

While initial reports suggested that the iPhone SE leasing plans that were advertised in full page advertisements on print media where being carried out by Apple directly, 9to5Mac claims otherwise. According to their report, the Apple iPhone SE leasing plans are being carried out by their official regional distributors and not the company. It's worth noting that such leasing plans by distributors are nothing new in India as same had been done for many other Apple devices in the market.

Thanks to this leasing program you can now lease an Apple iPhone SE for just Rs 999 per month. It's worth noting that the contract is for 2 years. This is pretty similar to the contracts offer by US network carries like Verizon, AT&T etc.
