But, the new effort of Apple is quite different since it will allow you to use an iPhone by subscribing to the new service.

This means that owning an iPhone will soon be comparable to how you own an account for Amazon Prime, Netflix, and other subscription services.

Some experts claimed that the new Apple service would not only be consumer-friendly, but it will also be an eco-friendly program.

Currently, the unused iPhones and other gadgets are just adding up to the e-waste that affects the environment. Once the new Apple leasing program arrives, it can change this scenario.

This can happen through recycled materials. If the tech giant manufacturer allows its consumers to rent an iPhone, they can easily upgrade their products without throwing their old models.

Since it will be a monthly subscription fee, having an iPhone will also be cheaper than buying them outright.

Why Apple Wants To Lease iPhones

Bloomberg reported that the new iPhone leasing program is a part of Apple's efforts towards subscription services.

Since it will change how people own gadgets, some experts consider the leasing service the tech firm's biggest activity as it automatically enters recurring sales.

The new iPhone subscription service will also be the first one to offer a hardware subscription experience. Currently, the giant tech manufacturer is still working on its upcoming smartphone leasing service.

Recently, the newly announced EU law is expected to allow Apple sideloading app activity.

Meanwhile, Apple's iPhone SE unit decrease will soon happen as a part of the company's effort to go more eco-friendly.
