Apple to sell iPhone as a subscription service

Apple may begin to sell iPhones and iPads as part of a hardware subscription service.

This is according to a report from Bloomberg, speculating that the American phone manufacturer may launch the service next year.

The development is expected to help Apple push its subscription services ambition which it entered several years ago to birth a list of reoccurring subscription services.

Apple has praised its subscription services including Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, Apple News Plus, Apple Fitness Plus, and Apple Arcade as major revenue streams of the company.

Should the development pull through, mobile phone handlers can simply pay to subscribe to use an iPhone for a month.

While the details remain sketchy, this could be the beginning of another venture for the already-sophisticated Apple brand.
