It occurred to me a few days ago that Apple could presumably offer some kind of recurring upgrade program for its Mac, iPad, or even wearable devices, similar to what‘s currently offered for iPhone.
I thought of it after realizing that the broader Apple Silicon transition makes it much easier for Apple to plan around consistent timing for future releases. Will it happen? I don’t know…people don’t upgrade their laptops, desktops, or iPads as often as they upgrade their phones, but Apple clearly is moving toward more of a subscription or service model around their growing ecosystem. I’m sure it would make sense for a lot of power users who want the latest devices.
