Buying a MacBook used to mean two things: picking your model and draining your bank account. But in 2025, that equation is changing. Apple users want more control, less hassle, and more flexible cash flow.
With WWDC unveiling major updates to macOS, including features like Apple Intelligence, improved Continuity, and deeper ecosystem integrations, there's now even more incentive to upgrade, especially for users on older machines.
That's where comes in: Now you can pay for your MacBook over 36 months and from 0% APR, with the option to upgrade every 2 years, hassle free.
The problem with traditional MacBook buying
The default experience of buying a MacBook has its pain points:
- Big box stores often only carry base models, meaning you're stuck with 16GB RAM or minimal storage.
- Financing is typically capped at 12 to 18 months, which inflates monthly payments.
- Paying everything upfront limits your ability to invest in accessories, software, or even life expenses.
It works for some, but not for users who value long-term planning and want their tech purchases to work harder.
What Upgraded does differently
is a monthly MacBook subscription built around your workflow and your upgrade cycle.
Here's what you get:
- Flexible 36-month financing through Affirm, with rates as low as 0% APR.
- Custom spec builds that aren't always available in stores.
- Pricing that starts at $33.28 per month for the MacBook Air and $52.17 per month for the MacBook Pro.
- The option to upgrade to a new Mac every 24 months. If you don't want to upgrade, just finish the remaining 12 payments, and it's yours to keep forever.
- No reselling hassles: just drop your old device in a prepaid return box and send it back.
It's a system built for how people actually use their Macs, not how retailers prefer to sell them.
Built for power users, casual users, and everyone in between
Whether you're a professional working across multiple browser tabs, a developer compiling codebases, or a casual user who just wants a machine that won't lag after two years, Upgraded lets you build the Mac that fits your needs.
You can choose:
- More RAM for multitasking and heavy apps.
- Larger SSDs for school files, video libraries, or Xcode builds.
- Faster chips for editing, producing, or just zipping through your day.
And because Upgraded partners with GatorTec, an Apple Premier Partner, all devices are brand-new, Apple-authorized, and come with AppleCare+ included.
A smarter way to optimize your cash flow
When you don't have to spend $1,500 or more upfront, you free up capital. That money could go toward accessories to optimize your workflow, your business, or just everyday life expenses.
Especially for freelancers or creators getting set up for a new project, being able to spread your MacBook cost over three years is a game-changer.
Built by tech experts, loved by customers
was built from the ground up by people who know tech, and who were frustrated by the old way of buying and upgrading Apple devices.
The team behind Upgraded includes startup veterans, Apple enthusiasts, and investors from companies like OpenAI and Y Combinator. But what matters most is how it's working for real people.
With a 4.9-star average on Trustpilot and thousands of happy customers, Upgraded is earning praise not just for its pricing, but for how easy and intuitive the entire experience is.
Honestly the most Apple-like experience I've ever had from a company that isn't Apple.— Jonathan
My experience with Upgraded? Smooth as silk and easy as pie! But, aside from the order and transaction being easy, the significance of this Upgraded event has allowed me to purchase my new Macbook Pro-M4 (which I desperately needed and believed I would not be able to afford for, maybe, another year), has fostered a noticeable increase in my productivity as a visual artist.— Michael
