If you’re a MacBook fan, you know the feeling: everything just works. It’s fast, it’s beautiful, it makes you feel like a productivity genius. But here’s the catch—if you want a pro-level machine, you’re looking at a $1,600 to $6,000 price tag.
That’s where Upgraded steps in: the smarter, more affordable way to always have the latest MacBook without dropping thousands upfront.
Created by Apple Fans, for Apple Fans
Apple has a great upgrade program for iPhones… so why not for Macs?
That’s exactly what John, the founder of Upgraded, wondered. He was constantly shelling out for new MacBooks to keep up with work demands. Selling old ones on Facebook Marketplace was slow, tiring, and constantly messaging buyers distracted him from the rest of his life. He thought, “Why isn’t there an easy way to get the latest MacBook?”
So he built what he wished existed: a simple, subscription-based way to stay upgraded.
With Upgraded, you get the MacBook you need today, spread the cost over 36 months (from 0% interest), and every two years, you can trade up to the newest model if you’d like. When it’s time to upgrade, just back up your data, drop your Mac in the box they send you, and they’ll securely wipe it, refurbish it, and give it a second life. You also get AppleCare+ included, so you’re covered if life happens. If you don’t want a new MacBook every two years, no problem, just finish paying off the remaining 12 payments, and it’s yours to keep forever.
Made with Power Users in Mind
Upgraded offers custom builds not typically available at traditional retailers. So if you need a MacBook Pro with 128 GB of RAM and 8 TB of storage, you can get it and pay it off over time instead of all up front.
For example, a designer who wants a 14-inch MacBook Pro with 32 GB of RAM and AppleCare+ would pay $2,278 with Apple. But that same device would be $63.28/mo with Upgraded ($2,278 total, spread out over 36 months). Instead of paying all at once, they could put that extra cash into accessories, marketing for their services, or software to make their job easier.
“What I always recommend to customers is: Pay over time, and stick the rest of the money you would have spent in a high-yield savings account. You can earn about 4% on money that would otherwise be gone,” says co-founder John Erik.
Trusted Expert Partners
Upgraded partners with industry experts to deliver the best experience possible. Financing is provided by Citizens Bank, the same bank Apple uses for its iPhone upgrade program. And they work with Apple Premier Partner GatorTec to supply devices.
They’re backed by experts in the tech industry, like OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, and startup accelerator Y Combinator.
A Seamless Experience Every Step of the Way
As a team of Apple lovers, designers, and developers, Upgraded set out to build the most seamless, customer-centric company possible. As one customer said, “Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a more Apple-like experience from a company that isn’t Apple.” They eliminate friction to make the purchasing, financing, and upgrading process as simple as possible.
Upgraded’s subscription starts at $33.28 for a MacBook Air and $52.17 for a MacBook Pro, with higher-spec configurations available. You can also order a MacBook with custom specs, perfect for those who need extra storage or a more powerful CPU — options not always available from traditional retailers.
With the new M4 chip now available for both MacBook Air and Pro, there’s never been a better time to upgrade.
