You could also just not support Apple's business strategy. I know this is much to ask, but honestly, do you really appreciate that only Apple can fix you phone? Screen cracked? Only apple can fix. Any third party could have fixed it cheaper if only Apple didn't prevent this. Same with other components (touch sensor, cameras, maybe even battery). You don't really own the phone anymore. Apple just has granted you permission to use it, for a high price.
And for what? To show others you could afford to rent it?
I feel sorry for the unsuspecting people buying this phone and discover that many of the faults that can occur can only be fixed by Apple, and that only if they want to. We already know Apple wont fix e.g. water damaged phones to save e.g. documents/pictures/videos on it. Third part repair shops have oftens shown repairs to be possible, except now there is no hope as Apple decided your data isn't worth it.
Good luck with your purchase. You will need it (or need deep pockets).
