Code discovered in the iOS 27 beta suggests that Apple is developing a system that could restrict leased or financed devices if users miss their monthly payments. This aligns with an earlier report claiming that Apple may soon launch an Apple Upgrade leasing program in the United States, giving customers a more affordable way to get the latest Apple hardware through lower monthly payments.
