Apple Upgrade Program replaces iPhone Upgrade Program with interest-free leases for Macs, iPads, and Watches
↗
Apple's new Upgrade Program, in partnership with Klarna, replaces the iPhone Upgrade Program with interest-free leasing across iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Watches, starting at $17.99 per month.
Engineers and consumers now have a leasing option that covers more than iPhones, with interest-free terms and lower entry costs. The trade-off is that leased devices are not owned at the end, and AppleCare is no longer included, so damage fees may apply. This changes the total cost of ownership and upgrade cycle for Apple hardware.
