Apple is partnering with Klarna to launch a new device leasing program called Apple Upgrade. This program is designed for iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Apple Watch models.
The Apple Upgrade program allows users to either upgrade to a new model early or keep the device at the end of the leasing term. The program will initially be available in the U.S.
Apple Upgrade could help ease concerns about device purchases by offering lower monthly payments than current financing programs.
This new approach may entice users who have held onto their iPhones for a long time to finally upgrade to a newer device.
Additionally, Google announced new Gemini models designed for different functionalities.
