Is there any exchange program running for MacBook Pro 2016 buyers?
Recently purchased my MacBook Pro 2016(35days back) touch bar model and yesterday apple launched new MacBook Pro with better processor and better graphics.

Is there any way to return my product and get the new one?

Yes, it's called eBay.

Do you get as upset when you buy a 2016 model year car and the 2017 model year gets announced a couple months after you buy it? There's no cooling-off period for tech purchases.

So true. In my state, when you buy a car, they even make you sign a form acknowledging that there is no cooling-off period. When the deal is done, it is done.

20% faster, hardware 4K support, and a free upgrade to the next tier of graphics chips isn't a tiny update. But it's probably not worth losing $500 on selling last years and getting this years or jumping through too many hoops.

You're not that far off, lease programs are available for everything from cars to medical equipment to computers. It's just that a lot of these don't make much economic sense if you can't write off the lease payments as a business expense.

Exactly. The Apple Store has a business lease plan, if you spend enough money there in a 12 month period, you can get into the SBS program, which offers annual leasing options.
