    Is it possible to sign up with a new carrier and opting into a new iPhone upgrade program online?

    Hi All, I’m trying to switch carriers and sign up for the iPhone Upgrade Program through the Apple Store online but running into walls. It looks like if I want to reserve an iPhone for pickup at the Apple Store, it asks me for existing account information but doesn’t let me sign up for a new...

    T-Mobile and IUP

    I have ordered a T-Mobile iPhone X via the App Store app but I really want to get on the IUP. In order to do this on T-Mobile, I know that I need to do this at the Apple Store (1 to 2 weeks for delivery). My question is this: if I reserve online for pickup at an Apple Store I pay ahead of...

    How will I upgrade in 2018?

    If I buy a new iPhone X in November with the iPhone upgrade program, it will only be 10/12 installments paid by next September. If Apple releases a new phone in September 2018, how will I upgrade with less than 50% paid?

    Carrier [T-Mobile] Joining iPhone Upgrade Program to pre-order iPhone X

    My carrier is T-Mobile and I want to join the IUP program and pre-order the iPhone X. However Apple online store doesn't seem to let me do that (I tested joining the program with iPhone 8 to see what it's like). I read somewhere that a possible solution is to purchase an iPhone X online, in...

    iPhone Upgrade Program: Layman's Terms Please?

    I haven't purchased a new iPhone since the 6 a few years ago but am going to take the plunge on an 8 Plus. In the past, I have purchased in full from my provider, AT&T. With the IUP, though, I'm a little confused as to what I should do. I like the idea of paying in installments but I'm unsure of...

    iPhone X Preorder, iUP, and Switching Carriers

    I'm currently on the iUP with AT&T, however I'd like to switch over to Verizon when I get the iPhone X. Is there a way to do that and still be able to preorder iPhone X for launch day? When I select Verizon as a carrier, it asks for my account credentials, of which I obviously have none. If I...

    Will the iPhone x be in the upgrade programme *next* year?

    Just ordered space grey iPhone 8 64gb on the upgrade programme, with the thinking in a year the X will be a bit cheaper than it is now. Then realised the upgrade programme only lets you buy that years iPhone releases. Do people think apple might include the year old X in it next year due to...

    iPhone Upgrade Program on Release Day

    Hi All, New to the forums, so apologies if this has been posted before. Does anyone have any experience with setting up an iPhone Upgrade Program account on release day last year, and if so, was it easy? I'll be happy to pre-order myself an iPhone 8/X/OLED variant, but presumably I can't do...

    Switch carriers in the middle of iPhone Upgrade program

    Information on Apple's website regarding the iPhone upgrade program states you can switch carriers if needed, but I own the GSM model of the iPhone 7 Plus (A1784) which isn't compatible with the CDMA LTE bands. I am curious to know what the process is for switching to Verizon or Sprint is in the...

    IUP yearly renewal

    I hope someone can clarify this assumption for me, because I have not joined the iPhone Upgrade Program. I am concerned that upgrading to the next iPhone every year after making 12 payments isn't possible. The program terms and conditions say that your first payment (taxes + first month's...

    Carrier IUP T-Mobile 7+ on AT&T

    It all started out great today. I convinced my family to go onto a T-Mobile One plan, and on top of it was able to reserve a T-Mobile 7 Plus for pickup at the local Apple Store. I opened a T-mo account and took the active SIM to the Apple Store where they gave me my 7 Plus. Then, one by one, the...

    iPhone 7 Plus buying advice (UK)

    So I'm after the 256GB Jet Black 7 Plus (yes, I know, probably one of the most elusive phones on the planet right now) and I ultimately would want to get it on the Upgrade Program. Unfortunately, because it can't be pre-ordered in any way through the IUP, I have to wait until it's back in stock...

    Carrier Did anyone sign up for iUP *online* on AT&T as NOT the primary account holder?

    I've been going in circles with Citizens One for over a week now, because they can't verify my credit information "as provided." I may have found the culprit, but I need other people to confirm it. One Apple employee said the information that gets sent to Citizens One is the default information...
