It is going to be quite interesting when Apple introduces Mac Studio with M5 Ultra chip and 1.5TB RAM.

Notably, Apple seems to be poised to nerf devices after a number of missed payments. [1]

What I really want is a trade-in system that pays out closer to what I'd get selling my Macbook on Craigslist or something. I want to stay within Apple's ecosystem and upgrade regularly, but I'd end up having to shell out nearly full price every time to do so, so I don't upgrade and no money changes hands at all. If they weren't quite so greedy with it, they could easily extract hundreds from me per year.

> When you first enroll in Apple Upgrade, you can trade in an eligible device you own to lower your monthly payments for your initial lease term. Your trade-in credit will be applied by Klarna across your payments for the length of your initial lease term. If your trade-in isn't returned or isn't in good working condition, your monthly lease payment will be updated by Klarna to reflect the adjusted value.
Your trade-in credit will only apply to your initial lease term. You cannot trade-in a device when you upgrade.
It all depends on the trade in value whether or not this is a something I would consider, but a klarna powered service is general is very not interesting to me. Klarna has been a big part of very real financial damage for the younger generations.
