    I thought they already had a program that sort of did this and allowed you to upgrade hardware every year for a certain cost. Wasn’t it called the Apple Upgrade Program or something like that.

    Yeah I found it…

    You pay for your iPhone in 24 monthly installments with 0% interest. After making 12 payments (equivalent to one year), you become eligible to upgrade to the newest iPhone model. To upgrade, you simply trade in your current iPhone and start a new 24-month plan with the latest model.

    This sure sounds very similar to a hardware subscription model.
