Apple Upgrade x Klarna changes the pay line from a buyer to a lifetime tenant if you come to Thailand...
A 0% 10-month installment or a 36-month long haul that we think may have become quite old. This era, Thai people are stuck in its loop, with the global IT giant opening up a new phase when Apple prepares to switch the pieces from sale to rent the machine officially.
Think about the era of increasingly expensive smartphones. Apple, in partnership with fintech giant Klarna, launched the Apple Upgrade program in America. 24 months of rent is mandatory for iPhone and Apple Watch and 36 months for Mac and iPad. When the contract expires, you can choose whether to pay the difference to retake the machine or return the machine for free, but you have to check your financial history first.
It seems to be comfortable to pay for your luggage, but when you cut the filling, you find a turning point to be aware of. The first is to cut off the AppleCare + insurance. If you break the rental machine, you have to pay for the repairs yourself fully. If you return it, you can get an extra fine. The second is the hit version of the iPhone 16 or the cost-effective version of the Apple Watch SE.
Behind this strategy is not just about marketing, it's about solving the game, the global memory chip shortage crisis, which is driving up production costs, is going to raise prices directly, is afraid that people do not buy Apple, so use the rental model as an anesthetic, reducing the feeling of expensive, so that people can only pay the top thousand a month to carry luxury, and also prepare to cancel the traditional installment program to squeeze everyone into the long-term cash rental system.
Finally, this is a full impact on us. If this model arrives in Thailand, the installment industry is shaking. The important question is, in an age of high cost of living, are we really ready to go from installment to ownership to lifetime rental? No matter how much installment will never dominate the machine and have to tense every day because of fear of the machine.
