Apple Upgrade x Klarna changes the pay line from a buyer to a lifetime tenant...

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.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ที่เคยใช้บริการผ่อนสินค้าเทคโนโลยีต่าง ๆ ทั้งในรูปแบบการผ่อนชำระทั่วไปและแบบใหม่ที่เน้นการเป็นสมาชิกหรือเช่า ผมเห็นข้อดีข้อเสียที่น่าสนใจของโมเดลเช่าแบบ Apple Upgrade ที่ Appleร่วมกับ Klarna เปิดตัวมาอย่างชัดเจน อย่างแรกเลยคือการจ่ายรายเดือนที่ถูกลงและคงที่ ทำให้การถือครองอุปกรณ์ไอทีระดับพรีเมียมอย่าง iPhone หรือ Mac ดูง่ายขึ้น ไม่ต้องกังวลเรื่องยอดซื้อจ่ายเต็มทีเดียว อย่างไรก็ตาม การไม่มี AppleCare+ ซึ่งเป็นประกันยอดนิยมของ Apple นั่นแปลว่าต้องรับผิดชอบค่าซ่อมเองเต็ม ๆ หากเกิดการเสียหาย เช่นหน้าจอแตกหรืออุบัติเหตุต่าง ๆ รวมถึงค่าปรับถ้าหากคืนเครื่องสภาพไม่สมบูรณ์ นอกจากนี้ โมเดลนี้เหมาะสำหรับผู้ที่ชอบเปลี่ยนมือถือหรือแท็บเล็ตบ่อย เพราะสามารถคืนเครื่องเก่าแล้วอัพเกรดเป็นเครื่องใหม่ภายใต้เงื่อนไขเท่านั้น ทำให้ไม่ต้องกังวลเกี่ยวกับมูลค่าตลาดหลังใช้งาน แต่สำหรับคนที่อยากเป็นเจ้าของเครื่องจริง ๆ แบบถาวร อาจพบว่าทางเลือกนี้ไม่ใช่คำตอบที่ดีนัก เพราะตลอดสัญญาเช่าจะเป็นการใช้ ไม่ใช่การเป็นเจ้าของเครื่อง ผมยังคิดเพิ่มเติมถึงผลกระทบต่อผู้บริโภคไทย หากโมเดลนี้เข้ามา ก็จะเปลี่ยนแนวทางการซื้อขายสมาร์ทดีไวซ์ในประเทศไทยไปอย่างมาก เพราะคนไทยยังนิยมผ่อนชำระเพื่อเป็นเจ้าของมากกว่าเช่าใช้ หากต้องจ่ายแบบเช่าตลอดชีพ อาจทำให้ผู้บริโภครู้สึกถึงความไม่มั่นคงและความเสี่ยงจากการถูกบังคับรักษาสภาพเครื่องให้ดีอยู่เสมอครับ สุดท้าย การเปิดโปรแกรมนี้ยังสะท้อนถึงแนวทางของ Apple ที่ต้องการบริหารจัดการต้นทุนและปัญหาชิปขาดตลาด ด้วยการผลักดันลูกค้าเข้าสู่โมเดลเช่าที่สามารถวางแผนรายได้ได้แน่นอนในระยะยาว ซึ่งถ้าเกิดในไทยจริง ถือเป็นจุดเปลี่ยนสำคัญของตลาดสินค้าทางเทคโนโลยีครับ สำหรับใครที่กำลังตัดสินใจซื้อ iPhone หรือ Apple Watch ในอนาคต ควรตั้งใจศึกษาข้อมูลเกี่ยวกับโปรแกรมเช่าหรือผ่อนชำระให้ดี เพื่อไม่ให้เกิดปัญหาภายหลัง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นเรื่องค่าซ่อม ความคุ้มค่ากับระยะเวลาที่ใช้เครื่อง และเงื่อนไขการคืนเครื่องครับ

Why Days On Market Isn’t Necessarily A Bad Thing
Days on Market isn’t always the red flag buyers think it is. I’ve heard buyers say, “That house has been sitting for 90 days…something must be wrong with it.” But in many cases, the reason has nothing to do with the home itself. Here are a few things that can cause higher Days on Market:
