iPhone 16 Pro Upgrade program and financing no longer available for unlocked iPhones?
I’ve always gotten an unlocked iPhone on the upgrade program…. Trying to get my preorder set up and it’s saying you have to select one of their 4 carriers for the upgrade program or Apple financing deals!? I have Spectrum mobile…. Do I really have no options for a launch day financed phone now!?- kougra6541

Other iPhone Loan Credit
I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I noticed on my credit card statement from the last month I received a credit from Citizen’s One for $25.30. Has anyone else received a credit from Apple/Citizen’s One of the same amount? Is this related to the battery issue on older... -
Other Apple Upgrade Program Vs Verizon’s?
I’ve been using Verizon’s upgrade program for years. Pre-ordering has always been extremely smooth, plus I don’t have to go to store to pick up my new phone every year. There are fees like line activation, etc. with Verizon. Just curious which program is better overall, as I see Apple has a... -
iPhone 8/Plus AiUP - from 8 Plus to 8?
I'm a year into my plan with the 8 Plus. I thought I read the fine print saying I can upgrade annually to the current or immediately-prior year model. But when navigating through the process on Apple's website, only the Xs, Xs Max, or (soon) Xr are my upgrade options. Any reason why the 8... -

How does the Upgrade Program work?
When a new model is released, does one merely go to the Apple store and get a new phone, is there a fee, and what, if any, caveats/stipulations are involved? Any real-life experiences you care to share are most appreciated! Many thanks!- Pndrgnsvc

iUP Process for US Customers
I opted into the Apple upgrade program last year for my wife and I (not the AT&T version of the program). We both have the iP7. While my wife will probably be happy with the iP7s, I will probably look at getting the iP7s+ or the iP8 (depending on prices). A few questions about the upgrade... -

iPhone Upgrade Program Warning — Terrible Experience
TL;DR — Don't make a typo, and don't expect them to help you figure out what the real problem is if you didn't make a typo. I was declined because they were "Unable to verify credit references as provided." When trying to find out specifically what that meant and what I could do about it, they...
