Episode Details

Apple just launched Apple Upgrade — a bold new leasing program that lets you get the latest iPhone, Watch, Mac, or iPad for as little as $17.99 a month. Replacing the old iPhone Upgrade Program, this shift means Apple gets the device back at the end of the lease, unlocking a massive new revenue stream from refurbished units. Customers benefit with lower upfront costs and flexible upgrade paths, while Apple gains tighter control over the customer lifecycle and a more predictable flow of devices. Analysts say this subtle but strategic move could reshape Apple’s long-term revenue model and weaken carriers’ grip on upgrade cycles.
