Starting today, you can

Starting today, you can lease your Apple products. Apple just launched their new Apple upgrade plan in the United States. This replaces the iPhone upgrade program that doesn't exist anymore. And the new leasing options apply to iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac. For iPhone and Apple Watch you can get a 12 month lease or 24 month lease. And for iPad and Mac you can get 24 month or 36 month. So if you were trying to the same deal as the upgrade program, a 24-month lease at $23 a month plus Apple Care, that's $34. What's in the Box to have an iPhone 17 every month with Apple previous upgrade program. that iPhone 17 at the two years, you would to pay the difference of about $250 or hand the iPhone 17 to Apple because it's end of the lease. iPhone upgrade program before, like me, it's a similar with Apple Care And the new leasing program lets you upgrade even earlier for a fee is this like Macs, iPads, and Apple Watch get a specced out MacBook Air So a 13-inch MacBook Air with 32 gigs of unified memory and even up to a 16 terabyte SSD lease that for 36 months for $75 or 24 months for $106 Or you can get a base MacBook Air with a 512 and 16 gigs of memory, $25 a month for 36 months or $35 a month for two years It's curious timing Apple just made a lot of their products more expensive a few weeks especially things like and iPads So the new Apple leasing program makes it more accessible to get something like a Mac right to spend But keep in mind you're locked in for one to years depending on the device, and Apple Care not included, so you have to buy that in addition to the monthly leasing price And unlike the old upgrade program, after years, you don't own the You'll still have to pay whatever difference, $250 for an iPhone 17, it something like a Mac, or the end of your lease, can hand in your old get a new one, and then pay that monthly cost another two to three years And what's wild, this applies to the maxed out 96 gigs of unified memory 16 terabyte SSD Well, you can lease even that configuration for $460 a month for two years or $327 for three years to think about it, and be discussing it on technology That's my weekly tech podcast primarytech.fm, follow podcast But we'll dive into even details on the show, but yeah, it's live right you can lease an M3 Mac Studio all the way down to an Apple Watch Series
