Smartphone makers push leasing and subscription ownership
As premium smartphones become more expensive and replacement cycles lengthen, manufacturers including Apple and Samsung are expanding leasing, subscription and guaranteed buyback programs to make upgrades more attractive and to secure a steady stream of trade-in devices for refurbishment. Apple launched an Upgrade leasing program in the U.S. with Klarna, while Samsung runs Galaxy Forever in India. Analysts and market firms (Counterpoint Research, IDC) report longer replacement cycles and higher average device lifetimes, which is driving experimentation with alternative ownership and financing models. Startups such as BytePe, Raylo, Grover and Cashify are also building subscription and refurbishment businesses around this trend. Industry voices note these programs support secondary markets and customer retention, but whether leasing is financially better depends on individual upgrade frequency and device resale values.
