July 23, 2026 – ‘Apple Upgrade’ program coming soon

Apple is reportedly preparing a new leasing-style Apple Upgrade program, possibly replacing the current iPhone Upgrade Program.

Code evidence in iOS 27 suggests Apple may impose stricter limits on leased devices after missed payments.

The rumored policy change could affect how customers finance, upgrade, and retain ownership of iPhones and Macs.

Separate leaks also point to future Mac models and a larger iPhone screen in Apple’s hardware roadmap.
