The article is a week old. Apple has since announced a leasing program and told The Verge the restricted mode isn’t for it. They didn’t say what it is for though.
The VergeApple won’t turn on any ‘restricted mode’ for missed lease paymentsBut is it a good deal?except Apple’s wording to the verge gave no explanation why the code was recently added to iOS. They didn’t add this “feature” for no reason…
