Apple Ends iPhone Upgrade Program & Klarna Move0:06 – 4:23

Lex FriedmanHost

0:06

My complaint is just this.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:08

I saw earlier today as we're recording Apple's announcement about their Klarna thing that had been rumored.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:14

Yeah.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:15

I was like, oh, cool.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:16

At least they're not sunsetting the iPhone upgrade

0:17

program.

0:18

Oh, cool.

0:18

Yeah.

0:19

And

Lex FriedmanHost

0:19

then about one minute before I joined the Zoom, I got an email from Apple saying, we have an update on the iPhone upgrade program, which, by the way, is the shittiest subject line.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:26

If the update is, we're ending it.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:29

Because then the top message is, thanks for being part

0:32

of the iPhone upgrade program.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:34

All right, great.

0:36

I haven't gotten anything.

0:37

You're not on the iPhone upgrade program, are you? I am on the iPhone upgrade program.

0:41

Well, I just got this.

0:42

Am I? I think so.

0:43

Thank you for being a loyal member.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:47

When you're ready for your next phone, we'll help you.

0:49

And fuck you.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:50

Yeah.

Lex FriedmanHost

0:51

P.S. Go fuck yourself.

Love Apple.
