Apple has introduced a new upgrade program for devices like the iPad Pro, offering low monthly lease payments over 24 or 36 months with no interest. However, users do not own the device and must return it in good working condition to avoid potential damage fees, which can be mitigated by purchasing AppleCare separately. Early lease termination or failure to return the device can incur substantial fees, and the program is managed by Klarna, a 'buy now, pay later' service that may pose risks for users with less established credit.
