Transitioning from the iPhone Upgrade Program

"Let farewell lead you to your next hello."

Apple is announcing that the iPhone Upgrade Program is officially winding down. We want to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in this program.

Current Status for Members

If you are currently enrolled, there is no need for immediate alarm. You should simply:

  • Continue submitting your remaining monthly installments as scheduled.

Your Path to a New Device

When you are ready to transition to a newer iPhone, we have streamlined the process to ensure you find a financial arrangement that fits your lifestyle. We are introducing an entirely new payment method that we believe you will find highly appealing.

Available Acquisition Methods

Depending on your preference, you can now choose from the following:

  1. Apple Upgrade: Our brand-new leasing initiative.
  2. Carrier Promotions: Explore the latest deals from your service provider.
  3. Apple Financing: Traditional financing options through Apple.
  4. Outright Purchase: A simple, one-time payment.

Introducing: Apple Upgrade

Get your favorite Apple hardware in a revolutionary way. This program allows you to lease not just the iPhone, but also the iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.

How it works:

  • Select your desired product and lease term.
  • Make affordable, low monthly payments.
  • At the conclusion of the lease, return your current hardware.
  • Seamlessly upgrade to the latest model.

The Financial Logic: The cost of your lease can be represented by the following formula: Total Lease Cost=∑m=1nPm\text{Total Lease Cost} = \sum_{m=1}^{n} P_mTotal Lease Cost=∑m=1n​Pm​ Where nnn is the number of months in your term and PmP_mPm​ is the monthly payment.
