Apple has officially replaced the iPhone Upgrade Program with an all-new Apple Upgrade program—and it expands leasing beyond iPhone to include Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac. But is it actually a good deal?
AppleInsider Price Guide: prices.appleinsider.com
In this video, I break down exactly how Apple Upgrade works, who qualifies, the lease terms, buyout options, upgrade process, and the biggest catches you need to know before signing up. I’ll also compare it to Apple’s previous iPhone Upgrade Program and explain why some buyers may still be better off purchasing elsewhere.
We’ll cover:
• How Apple Upgrade works
• Lease lengths and monthly pricing
• Which Apple devices qualify (and which don’t)
• Buyout and early upgrade options
• AppleCare changes
• Is Apple Upgrade actually worth it?
• The biggest pros and cons
If you’re planning to buy a new iPhone, Mac, iPad, or Apple Watch, this is everything you need to know before choosing Apple’s newest financing option.
