Apple’s New Leasing Plan Is a Trap (Here’s the Math)
Apple just rolled out a new way to lease the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and the monthly price looks tempting at first glance. I ran the actual numbers on the iPhone 17e, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro leases to see what they really cost you compared to buying outright and reselling later. It turns out leasing is almost always the more expensive option, but there is one specific situation where it can still make sense. Watch to see the full cost breakdown and decide which route is right for your next Apple purchase.
