Apple is considering selling the iPhone as a subscription system

Technology giant Apple is looking for an alternative way to sell iPhone and iPad. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, known for his sources close to Apple, thinks that Apple will include a subscription system in iPhone and iPad sales.

Subscription system for iPhone may launch next year

Gurman said that Apple’s planned subscription system for iPhone and iPad series could launch in late 2022 or early 2023 stated. Apple’s importance to subscription systems has increased considerably in recent years. Services such as Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, and Apple Arcade have opened a new revenue stream to the company, and Apple seems to be quite pleased with it. In addition, Apple combined subscription systems and released the Apple One package.

Apple, which started to give importance to similar moves on the hardware side, also switched to the AppleCare system in 2019. In addition, the iPhone Update Program allows the purchase of iPhone and AppleCare combined in 24 monthly installments, and customers can put their devices in the Apple exchange program after 12 months. However, Apple wants to further develop this system. According to Bloomberg’s report, the new system will be similar to the system that Samsung has implemented in many countries. Instead of buying a device in installments, you will be able to have an iPhone for a certain amount of money every month, and when the new iPhone comes out, you will be able to switch to the new iPhone by continuing to pay the same price. There is also the possibility that this system will be sold as a package with AppleCare or Apple One. It is also among the information that the service is also considered for the iPad. Let’s see how much Apple’s interest in the subscription system will switch to the hardware side and how it will contribute to the company.
