Apple's Upgrade Program May Make Its Credit Card Obsolete
Apple's recent introduction of the Apple Upgrade Program has sparked a debate about its impact on the Apple Card. The program allows users to lease Apple products with lower monthly payments and still receive 3% daily cash back. While the Apple Card offers 0% financing for 6, 12, or 24 months, the upgrade program provides a more digestible monthly payment option. Users can lease products for up to 36 months, making it a more attractive option for business expenses. However, critics argue that the program may lead to a debt cycle and trap users in a lease agreement.
