Apple Now Leases iPhones for Less Than $1/Day

With the new Apple Upgrade program launched in the U.S. today, you can now lease select iPhone models from Apple for less than $1 per day.

iPhone 17 17 Pro and Air Feature
The program essentially allows you to subscribe to an iPhone with monthly payments. At the end of the lease, you can return your iPhone and either upgrade to a new iPhone or move on. If you prefer to keep your iPhone at the end of the lease, you can pay a fee through the Klarna app to own it outright instead of upgrading to a new one.

Apple Upgrade allows you to lease an entry-level iPhone 17e for as little as $17.99 per month, which is equivalent to around 60 cents per day. Even the iPhone 17 Pro starts right around the $1 per day mark through the program.

iPhone

  • iPhone 17e: From $17.99/month for 24 months
  • iPhone 17: From $22.99/month for 24 months
  • iPhone Air: From $28.99/month for 24 months
  • iPhone 17 Pro: From $31.99/month for 24 months
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max: From $34.99/month for 24 months

While still sold by Apple, the iPhone 16 is not eligible.

The program is also available for select iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch models, so be sure to check out our complete pricing list for those devices.
