Apple debuting new ‘Apple Upgrade’ leasing program next week, per report

Apple is reportedly preparing to launch a new U.S. leasing plan called Apple Upgrade.

The program would let customers pay monthly for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, then upgrade or return devices later.

Backed by Klarna, it is expected to include credit checks and lower upfront costs.

Apple also plans to stop new signups for its current iPhone Upgrade Program.
