iPhone X IUP Phone Options
Curious if you can only choose the Xs and Xr if you’re on the IUP. I have an 8 and was looking into getting the Product Red 8 Plus to see if it’s even an option. Looks like you can only get the two new phones. I assumed the IUP means upgrading to a “new” phone not a more expensive one. -
