Apple Partners With Klarna as It Introduces Monthly Leasing for iPhones and Other Devices

Apple has officially launched Apple Upgrade, a leasing program that lets American customers pay a recurring monthly fee for an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch, without ever owning the hardware outright. The program, provided in partnership with the buy-now-pay-later firm Klarna, is available now on the Apple Store online, in the Apple Store app, and at Apple retail locations across the United States, with monthly pricing starting at $17.99 for iPhone and $11.99 for Apple Watch.
