Apple Wants You to Lease Everything Now

Apple wants you to stop buying tech and start leasing everything you own. In a massive shift, Apple just teamed up with Klarna to launch Apple Upgrade in the US. You can now lease an iPhone from $18 a month, a Mac from $25, or an Apple Watch for just $12. When your contract ends, you can swap for the newest gear, send it back, or buy it outright. Apple even killed its classic iPhone Upgrade Program to push everyone toward hardware subscriptions. Just remember, you don't own a thing until that final buyout payment clears. Is hardware leasing the future, or would you rather actually own your Apple gear?
