Apple launches US device leasing program with Klarna
Klarna will run the plan, and monthly payments start at $17.99 for iPhones as Apple ends its in-house financing options.
- On Tuesday, Apple launched its new 'Apple Upgrade' leasing program in partnership with digital payment provider Klarna, offering monthly installments for iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads, and Macs in the United States.
- Apple discontinued its previous in-house financing programs as the manufacturer faces rising hardware costs and recently increased prices for Mac and iPad lineups by up to $300.
- Monthly lease terms range from 12 to 36 months, with payments starting at $11.99 for Apple Watches and iPads, $17.99 for iPhones, and $24.99 for Mac computers.
- Unlike previous offerings, AppleCare+ is not included in the new plan; customers must purchase it separately while managing their lease directly through the Klarna app.
- At the end of the lease term, customers can return the device, purchase it with a one-time payment, or upgrade to a newer model; if no action is taken, the lease converts to month-to-month for up to six months.
