Bloomberg pointed out that Apple’s idea is that having an iPhone or iPad is like paying each month for iCloud or Apple Music. That way, your customers could sign up for hardware with the same IDs and accounts with which they buy apps and services on the App Store.
“The company has talked about allowing program users to trade in their devices for new models when hardware comes out. Historically, Apple releases new versions of its main devices, such as the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, once a year.
