Tech giant Apple is now looking to release a new subscription model for their iPhones and other products, where users would pay a monthly fee to use their phones and other services.
Apple Insider said, ‘The service would be Apple’s biggest push into recurring revenue streams, essentially bringing the company’s Services model to its lucrative hardware business.’ But the project is still in the developmental phase.
Moreover, Bloomberg noted this new service could be integrated into existing Apple services, like Apple One or AppleCare.
Apple already has other subscription-based models, and many outlets and tech analysts are currently unsure how this will differ from their Apple iPhone Upgrade Program, or buying the subscription through these monthly payments via the Apple Card, or the monthly fee would run through the service provider.
‘The subscription service is predicted to debut in late 2022, with a possible launch in 2023,’ Apple Insider concludes.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
Proverbs 29:6
Of course the media and tech analysts are playing dumb. This is literally “You’ll Own Nothing And Be Happy,” as the World Economic Forum says.
Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city – or should I say, “our city”. I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes.
Once in awhile I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. No where I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me.

Agenda 2030: You’ll Own Nothing And Be Happy
Before these companies could forcibly update things on the phone, for example; but now with a subscription service, just like the fine print and terms of services no one reads, now the company can easily instigate social credit scores, vaccine passports, and carbon calculators, because you no longer will own it, you’re renting it. It is no different than social media that is on a censoring rampage.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
Proverbs 11:15
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
