Subscription-based services have been pro in recent years Apple The gold mine is getting bigger and bigger, so it's no wonder that he's been thinking about launching more for a long time that would help him make even more money.

He had on that one Apple to work already from 2022, with the fact that its principle should have been absolutely simple - for a monthly fee would Apple provided users with hardware with comprehensive support and protection through AppleCare+, and once the user stopped paying, he would have to return the hardware. As a result, unlike installments, he would not be bound to pay a certain amount, but he could easily decide after a few months that using iPhones, or other Apple of products does not make sense and he would then withdraw from the lease.

Although he should have Apple initially very high expectations for this service, in recent months, according to Gurman, he had to stop work on it due to concerns about legal regulations, software bugs and a number of other problems. In addition, it seems that the team that was in charge of developing this service has been completely disbanded and "reassigned" to other projects. So it doesn't seem likely that we'll see her resurrection any time soon.
