Previously, there were rumors that Apple would launch a subscription service for hardware, including the iPhone and iPad. However, on September 7
The new subscription service could be launched as early as the end of this year. Bloomberg describes the initiative as "Apple's biggest move toward auto-recurring sales."
The hardware subscription service can beassociated with Apple One and AppleCare packages. The difference from the installment plan will be that the monthly fee will not be equal to the price of the device divided by 12 or 24 months. It will just be a fixed amount that depends on which device the user chooses.
Gurman says that Apple is now "actively testing the new service."
