Apple has launched Apple Upgrade in the United States, a new leasing program for iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch. Powered by Klarna, it replaces the old iPhone Upgrade Program and gives customers more flexible payment options.
Plans start at $17.99/month for iPhone, $11.99/month for Apple Watch, $24.99/month for Mac, and $11.99/month for iPad. Customers can choose 12, 24, or 36‑month terms. At the end of the lease, users can upgrade, buy the device, or return it.
Apple Upgrade also supports trade‑ins to lower monthly payments. Using Apple Card earns 3% Daily Cash back, and AppleCare can be added for extra coverage. Klarna manages the financing, making the process simpler compared to traditional installment plans.
