Reported iOS Code Could Allow Apple To Restrict Apps On Financed iPhones With Missed Payments
Code found in an iOS 27 beta suggests that Apple may introduce 'Restricted Mode' for financed iPhones if users miss payments, limiting app access and preventing device erasure or resale. The feature is tied to a new financing program called 'Apple Upgrade,' though it remains unconfirmed as the code could change before release.
