Eligible U.S. customers can lease iPhones, Apple Watches, Macs, and iPads through monthly installments starting at $11.99/month. Lease terms range from one to three years depending on the device, and at the end of the term customers can upgrade, buy, or return their device. The program appears to be Apple's response to recent price hikes driven by an industry-wide memory chip shortage. Apple is discontinuing its existing iPhone Upgrade Program and iPhone Payments in favor of this Klarna-powered offering. Customers can reduce payments by trading in existing devices and earn 3% Daily Cash back when paying with Apple Card. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
