I'm thinking of buying the Apple Mac air 13 inch which is £24 a month for 24 months, and a few of £12 upfront. My question is who owns the Mac at the end of the 24 months? I assume I will own it but the terms and conditions talk about swapping it at the end of the 24 months (which I don't want to do) or the fact that you have an option to buy, so I'm a little confused.

The 24 refers to the point where you could consider a swap - hopefully the residual value of the device covers the remaining credit and you start a whole new contract.

You can purchase the device outright if you want.

Good point - 24x24 is only £576...

As a general principle it's worth checking the list price in the Apple Store, because that indicates the minimum you'd be paying Sky before you own the hardware. Any 'monthly cost x number of months' calculation from Sky which works out less than the Apple price is likely to be wrong because Sky has both a profit margin and a credit cost to cover.
Apple, quite famously, enjoys making money.
