The program covers iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches, with lease terms of up to 24 months for phones and watches and up to 36 months for Macs and iPads. Customers can keep or return devices at the end of the lease, or upgrade to newer models. The move replaces the existing iPhone Upgrade program and is seen as a response to rising hardware prices driven by an industry-wide memory chip shortage ('RAMageddon') fueled by AI demand. The launch also comes amid broader changes at Apple, including a new CEO (John Ternus) and an ongoing lawsuit against OpenAI. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
