Our thinking (applewatchlease.com) about why leasing will be a good option. . .<p>"But we think the Apple Watch will be different, especially during the first couple generations. The type and magnitude of features that will likely be added over the next generations will render previous models nearly obsolete. In some senses, this is true for a lot of other Apple products. The first couple generations account for important missing functionality, and then further generations embark on a path towards refinement. But even conflated to other apple product developments, we think the apple watch will have a sharper risk becoming irrelevant as newer models launch."
