Apple plans Mac leasing program with Klarna to ease high RAM costs
Apple is developing a leasing program called 'Apple Upgrade' in partnership with Klarna, allowing customers to finance Macs over 24 or 36 months. At term end, users can keep, return, or upgrade the device if payments are completed early. Budget models like the MacBook Air are reportedly excluded from the program.
