Apple Launches Device Leasing Program with Klarna in the U.S.
Apple has introduced a new device leasing program called Apple Upgrade, available exclusively in the United States through payments firm Klarna. The initiative replaces existing payment options like the iPhone Upgrade Program and offers monthly plans for iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Apple Watches under different lease terms ranging from 12 to 36 months. Monthly fees start at $17.99 for an iPhone, with lower rates available for other devices such as the iPad or Apple Watch. Customers can reduce their payments by trading in existing devices and earn cash back using the Apple Card. At the end of a lease term, users have options to return the device, buy it outright, or upgrade. The program is accessible via Apple's website, app, and U.S. retail stores. Existing iPhone Upgrade Program members will be transitioned to this new offering when eligible.
