CTOnews.com September 11 news, Apple launched the latest iPhone 14 series product line. Although pre-orders have begun, some iPhone 14 Pro series delivery times have been delayed to October. But Apple is missing one service during the launch of the new iPhone: a rumored hardware subscription service that will bundle Apple One with products such as the iPhone and iPad.

Bloomberg Mark Gurman said in the latest Power On newsletter that the service has not yet arrived and could launch as early as the end of this year.

Bloomberg reported on the new iPhone hardware subscription service in March, which could be Apple's "biggest push yet for automatic repeat sales."

This new hardware subscription service can be bundled with Apple One subscriptions and AppleCare. AppleCare and Apple One exist independently of each other. But when users buy an iPhone through the iPhone Upgrade Program, they get AppleCare.

This plan differs from installment plans in that the monthly cost will not be the price of the equipment over a period of 12 or 24 months. Instead, it will be a monthly fee that has yet to be determined, depending on the device the user chooses.

Apple has talked about allowing users of the program to swap their devices for new models when new hardware comes along. It traditionally releases new versions of its major devices once a year, including the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Now Gurman repeated his report, saying Apple is "actively testing this new service":

"Apple does still work on a hardware subscription service that will integrate with its Apple One bundle. Apple is actively testing this new service and I expect it to launch later this year or next.

The reason Apple didn't announce a hardware subscription service at the same time as the iPhone 14 launch was to reduce the complexity of the launch day. After all, it will add a whole new way to buy an iPhone. "

CTOnews.com has learned that there are rumors that Apple will hold a new iPad and Mac launch event next month, which may be the best time for Apple to announce this hardware subscription service, which will also be a good time before the holiday season.
