Most Mac users stick with their machines longer than they want to. Not because they love the slowdowns — but because upgrading is expensive, and reselling takes time most people don’t have.
That’s where Upgraded comes in.
It’s a smarter way to stay current — without the upfront cost or the trade-in hassle. You get a new MacBook, pay monthly (starting at $33.28/mo), and every 2 years, you’re eligible to trade up. It’s simple, clear, and now even more accessible.
And now that we’re approaching WWDC 2025 and macOS 26, it’s a great time to upgrade your Mac hardware and ensure you can run all of Apple’s new features.

Anyone who’s ever used a MacBook knows how much value they can add to your personal and professional life. But for power users, the device you need can range anywhere from $1,600-$6,000. If you’re looking for a smarter way to buy, Upgraded makes it easy and affordable with one low monthly subscription.
Apple has long offered their iPhone upgrade program. But there’s no equivalent for MacBooks. Until now.
John, the founder of Upgraded, used to constantly buy MacBooks to keep up with demands from his work. He tried to resell old devices on Facebook Marketplace, but it was slow, tiring, and constantly messaging buyers distracted him from the rest of life. He thought, “Why isn’t there an easy way to get the latest MacBook?” …

Technological advancements have meant that devices are lasting longer than ever. But one of the first parts to go is often the battery. Laptop batteries can especially be a problem, since many of us keep our laptops plugged in much of the time. But there’s a new solution designed to improve your battery health: Chargie.
Despite Apple and other device makers having solutions for battery aging that sets charge limits at 80% automatically, the reality is it isn’t always reliable or available or on older devices that don’t support the feature. Chargie makes it easy by giving you the ability to manually adjust the charging limit along with a fully controllable daily scheduler to keep the battery at a much safer 50% or 60% while you can, and also have it at 90 or 100% at times when you need longer battery life.
