About Upgraded

Written by the company

Hi 👋 We’re Upgraded!

The easiest, most affordable way to get the latest MacBook with low monthly payments, AppleCare+ protection, and an option to upgrade every two years.

How does it work?

We spread the cost of a brand-new MacBook and AppleCare+ over 36 months:

After 24 payments, you can upgrade to a new MacBook, or keep paying all 36 months to own your device outright.

How does upgrading work?

  • After 24 payments, pick your new MacBook. We’ll ship it to you.
  • Transfer your data from the old device to the new.
  • Return your old MacBook in our prepaid box.
  • Once we confirm it’s in good shape, we cancel your last 12 payments and start you on a new set of 36.

What if I don’t want to upgrade?

No problem! Just complete all 36 payments and the MacBook is yours.

Why choose upgraded?

Some folks want the convenience of upgrades on autopilot, some just want low monthly payments. We're happy to have you either way.

How do I get started?

  • Head on over to our site! The first step of checkout is a pre-qualification with no impact to your credit score.
  • See your exact monthly payment before committing.

Who’s the lender?

Affirm handles the lending side. We picked them because they make things easy to understand and easy to manage—just like we aim to do. Also, they have no late fees and no hard credit checks. So good.

Why did you start Upgraded?

Because we wanted a MacBook Upgrade Program for years, but no one was building it!

We’re a team of designers, developers, and creators. Like you, the devices we use make us more capable, more creative. Superhuman.

We believe choosing the right tech should be exciting, not complicated. It should fit your needs, your workflow, and your budget. No confusing financing. No trade-in headaches. Just a better way to own the right device -- whether new, used, or refurbished.

We don’t have the perfect system yet, but we’re building it.

Honestly, we see a massive opportunity to create a better kind of consumer electronics retailer. One that speaks clearly, treats customers with respect, and makes the best new and used devices more accessible than ever.

Please choose us for your next purchase and help us build something great. 👊

It's easy

It's easy, computers are customizable, and delivery was quick. it's a little more expensive and I didn't want Apple Care - but the monthly payments are reasonable, especially with 0% interest through Affirm.

They did pretty good. I’m hoping I get a phone call when it’s time for upgrade just hoping also that I will have it paid off when it’s time.

Satisfied customer!


I had such a great experience with Upgraded. The payment plan was very affordable and stress-free, and my MacBook Pro arrived in just one day. I absolutely love my new laptop and couldn’t be happier!

Love the concept like the iPhone Ugrade…

Love the concept like the iPhone Ugrade plan. The configuration of my custom machine was easy.

The real difference maker was the customer service. It was exception regarding responding and feedback. Literally the best I have experienced.

Absolutely Outstanding Service

I purchased a MacBook Air M4 and had such a great experience that I came back and bought my wife a 13-inch M4 MacBook Air, and then returned a third time to purchase an iPad Pro for my son. Each experience was just as smooth as the first. The customer support is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the customer. Easily the best Apple product buying experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!

Recommended Without Reservation

I ordered a custom spec MacBook Air. I checked toward the expected shipping date, and customer service was fantastic. Whoever answers Upgraded's emails is one of the most delightful people in customer service. This person was informative, proactive, and humorous. My MacBook Air arrived before Christmas, and I cannot be pleased more with the entire process.
