The Apple Upgrade program is here, giving consumers ways to lease even more products. On July 28, Apple launched the Apple Upgrade program to replace the iPhone Upgrade Program. Just as under the iPhone Upgrade Program, they can choose to upgrade to new hardware early in the leasing period, starting again from new. The plans last for either 12 months or 24 months for an iPhone or Apple Watch. Terms for iPad or Mac sit at 24 months or 36 months.
