Apple lanza servicio de leasing Apple Upgrade y cierra el programa iPhone Upgrade

Apple lanzó en Estados Unidos el programa de leasing Apple Upgrade el 28 de julio de 2026, ofreciendo a los consumidores la posibilidad de arrendar iPhone, Mac, iPad y Apple Watch durante 12 a 36 meses con pagos mensuales desde 17,99 dólares y la opción de adquirir, devolver o cambiar el dispositivo al final del contrato. El servicio, desarrollado con el proveedor de pagos Klarna, incluye AppleCare opcional y mantiene el acceso a aplicaciones siempre que se cumplan los pagos.

El lanzamiento siguió al anuncio de Apple a finales de junio de que cerraría las nuevas inscripciones al programa iPhone Upgrade y a la financiación tradicional, sustituyéndolos por la nueva modalidad de leasing. Informes iniciales habían señalado que los usuarios con pagos atrasados podrían ver restringido el acceso a la mayoría de aplicaciones, y que la medida coincidía con ajustes de precios, como el aumento de la suscripción de Apple Music, mientras los participantes actuales podían permanecer en el programa temporalmente.
