Apple launches iPhone leasing program from $17.99 a month

Apple has launched a new leasing programme in the United States that lets customers use iPhones, Macs, iPads and Apple Watches by paying a fixed monthly fee instead of buying them. Apple said it is starting “Apple Upgrade” with buy now, pay later provider Klarna. The plan offers different contract terms by product and model, with higher monthly payments for shorter terms or larger storage. Users can return devices at the end or keep them by paying the remaining cost, and fees may apply for damage or changes.
