Apple Turns To Klarna To Lease Iphones Instead Of Selling Them
The program, called Apple Upgrade, launches July 28 and covers most iPhone, Mac, iPad and Watch models through Klarna's financing.
- Apple Upgrade opens for enrollment July 28, 2026, ahead of the fall device cycle.
- Klarna, the buy-now-pay-later lender, finances the monthly payments behind the new plan.
- Coverage spans most current iPhone, Mac, iPad and Apple Watch models at launch.
Why it matters: A maker that must finance its own sale has run out of buyers who simply pay.
