Apple Upgrade Program: Lease iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Watches

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from The Verge ·

Apple launches an upgrade program for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Watches with monthly lease payments. The company says total cost won't exceed full retail price over one to three years, potentially saving hundreds. The program offers a low-cost entry to Apple's latest devices.

The program locks users into Apple's ecosystem with recurring payments, but the savings are real only if you upgrade frequently.
