I don't see the point for consumers. Perhaps a minority will buy a new model every year but many people keep their devices for years to come.

Companies that require frequent hardware refreshes would benefit from this, though Apple already had has programs for those.

It’s not just a 1 year program.

The comment you replied to had numbers for the 4 year option.

Assisted a an internal-client with a 12 yo Dell all-in-one yesterday. I recognized his voice, as this was the third or fourth time. Knowing the landscape ahead of assisting him allowed me to be a super-star. He already seemed to like me, but I cleared a lot of BS by telling him what was possible from memory of the setup. Learning how bad it was was a different conversation, less fun.
