Apple has inaugurated its Upgrade Program in the United States, offering an enticing opportunity to lease select iPhone models for under $1 per day.

This innovative program facilitates a subscription model for iPhone users. At the conclusion of the lease term, participants can either return their device to upgrade to a newer model or choose to keep it by paying a fee through the Klarna app, thereby assuming full ownership instead of opting for an upgrade.

For instance, lessees can secure the entry-level iPhone 17e for a mere $17.99 per month—equating to approximately 60 cents per day. Even the premium iPhone 17 Pro begins at slightly over $1 daily through this initiative.

iPhone Leasing Options

iPhone 17e: Starting at $17.99/month over 24 months
iPhone 17: Starting at $22.99/month over 24 months
iPhone Air: Starting at $28.99/month over 24 months
iPhone 17 Pro: Starting at $31.99/month over 24 months
iPhone 17 Pro Max: Starting at $34.99/month over 24 months

Notably, the iPhone 16 remains available through Apple; however, it is excluded from this leasing program.

Additionally, this leasing framework extends to select models of iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Comprehensive pricing details for these devices can be found on our website.
