Hi, I'm planning on buying the new 5K iMac this month however it's pretty clear there will be exciting upgrades in the coming years such as larger screens (27" is pretty small for a 5K display) and the ability to attach a second 5K display (currently the 5K iMac does not have this ability due to bandwidth limitations in the Thunderbolt 2.0 port).

Does anyone know a company that allows customers to purchase iMacs with the option of exchanging it for a new model when they are released? Maybe have a monthly fee to make up for the loss of value of the machine.

I've never heard of anything like that. But if it did exist, it would surely be a very poor financial decision for the consumer, so why do something like that?

That sounds like a rent/lease arrangement.
Rent-A-Center would offer something like that. :rolleyes:
(But also not a good financial plan :D )

Simply sell your old one on eBay and use the money to help get a new one. Smart people don't fall for those up to date programs.
