www.nytimes.comApple Introduces Leasing Program for iPhones and Other Devices (Gift Article)The program is an effort to make products more affordable as artificial intelligence sends some component prices soaring.This works for people who have FOMO and keep upgrading every time a new model comes out and have a monthly payment in perpetuity.
I just hope they don’t make this the ONLY option. I keep my phone until it dies or runs out of security updates.

The last time I upgraded was because the S22 Ultra had a 10x telephoto lens. Given the current state of phone cameras and zooms, I’m holding onto this one until it stops getting updates or it breaks.
