Cook worked retail before being handpicked by Steve Jobs as the former CEO&#8217;s successor. In essence, the iPhone Upgrade Program allows iPhone users to deal directly with Apple when purchasing a new iPhone each year, all while bypassing carriers. In other words, if you want to purchase an iPhone on a monthly plan, you can register with Apple and pay a certain amount each month. After a year, you can trade in your iPhone for a new one, without worrying about contracts, carrier installment plans (that trap you into paying the full price for a phone), and so on. This is dependent on whether or not you pay the full price off in a year. For those who don&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll still be under a two-year agreement with Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s iPhone Upgrade Program is essentially a leasing program that lets you &#8220;rent&#8221; an iPhone for 12 months, then trade it in for another iPhone. For those who take advantage of the program, you&#8217;ll get 2 phones a year for the price of what has been 1 iPhone every year. In a 2-year span, in the past, you&#8217;d have had only 1 iPhone; under the new plan, you&#8217;ll get to experience 4 iPhones a year, though you won&#8217;t own any of them. You&#8217;ll experience them, then hand them back over to Apple. Installment plans with carriers work the same way, though, in the carrier circumstance, you&#8217;re handing your phone back to the carrier instead of Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Well, to make the iPhone Upgrade Program more convenient and accessible for interested consumers, Apple has now released the new program online at <a href=\"http:\/\/Apple.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple.com<\/a>. Now, when you go and purchase the iPhone 6s, or soon, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, you&#8217;ll get the option of signing up for the iPhone Upgrade Program to lease your new iPhone for $30+ a month for your shiny new iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone Upgrade Program is Apple&#8217;s way of stealing the spotlight from carriers entirely. Apple wants to get you to a place where you spend more time in its stores and less time with carriers, and the new upgrade program is yet another achievement in Apple&#8217;s plans to rid its customers of all carrier ties. Of course, you can&#8217;t have service without dealing with carriers, but Apple, as is the case with Google, may be working on that as well for a future surprise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/buy-iphone\/iphone6s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quelle<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s iPhone Upgrade Program shows Apple&#8217;s retail prowess with current CEO Tim Cook.
