Finance group CIT has revealed that Apple is planning to announce a Mac Notebook Upgrade program much like the one that exists already for iPhone, starting at just $30 per month, presumably for Apple’s MacBook Air M1 and with 14” and 16” MacBook Pros starting at $60 and $75 per month each - representing 3% of the sticker price of each system.
What’s not clear is how quickly these updates are expected for the Macs though I’m still pretty convinced they’ll be annual. With the iPhone upgrade program the phone cost is spread across 20 months, but allows the iPhone to be traded in after 11 months and switched out for the new model. For this program however it seems you’re able to upgrade after having the machine for just 90 days if there is a new model released.
Apple’s product names. M1 Max Macs. That’s all that needs to be said.
I don’t think anyone heard the names of Apple’s new chips, which we’d all assumed would have been called M1X and thought “M1 pro and M1 Max? Nailed it”.
I mentioned that I think Apple’s best value lines should be labeled as SE models across the board too in a recent show - So we’ll tie those in. Don’t get me wrong, some of the names work well - the iPhones for example all make sense. iPad? As long as we change the iPad to iPad SE, the rest kind of works too.
And I think its worth pointing out too, that the name of the New MacBook Pro isn’t MacBook Pro M1 Pro or MacBook Pro M1 Max - even though that’s how we all think of it, but that’s just the detail and to differentiate vs the old, basically obsolete intel models. But we didn’t generally call the last one the MacBook Pro Intel i7 6core 2.6Ghz. We called it the MacBook Pro.
Honestly the best thing for almost ALL Apple’s product lines would be what cars get. A model year. Then we have the iPhone 2021, MacBook Pro 2021, MacBook Air 2020 etc - and I get that so far this has been tricky with different line
