This is from my confirmation email when I upgraded to the X last year. As you can see they include the upgrade payment in the order itself.
Got a tip for us?

They did a hard pull when I first signed up for IUP, but subsequent upgrades have been approved without checking credit reports.
only if you are upgrading after an year. if you upgrade after 2 years then its a hard pull again as at that time you have already paid off the phone!
This is my first year using the upgrade program, but I’m digging this 1 click & ready to buy instantly. So in theory I should be able to wake up , click buy & go back to sleep lol
Confused
Does Apple make you start a new AUP program if you get new iPhone with AppleCare?
Upgrade eligibility is 12 months payment amount.
Ok, that's easier having me pay the extra two payments at time of pre-order.
How do I get pre-approved or am I already pre-approved as I'm on the iPhone Upgrade Program?
I’m eligible but Citizens does not recognize my SSN. Called them. They said it’s glitch. Said to enter it as other SSN but that starts another application. Should I do that? Won’t that be hard pull? Cause I’m normally soft pull when upgrade time comes around. I hope it gets fixed soon.
I didn’t get no email after the pre approval process is this normal ?
I was required to put full ssn number.
I was required to put full ssn number.
Can I make a single payment (1 years worth) and not have another payment till the next iPhone?
You can actually pay off the remaining balance of the 12 month at check out when you pre-order. You'll be charged the sales tax (if applicable? depending on state, + your first month of the new device + what you owe on your current plan).
I had to do this last year. I started the iUP with iPhone 7 Plus in October 2016. So when the pre-order started for the 8 Plus, I had to pay the 12th month at check out.
Will I ever get an email It took me 1hr with Apple to get it complete.You're fine then, nothing to worry about
No you don't have to call Citizen Ones to make an extra payment. This can all be done at check out. It will just tack on the amount you owe currently at check out. That's what happened to me last year when I upgrade from 7 Plus to 8 Plus, as I enrolled in October 2016. At the check out for my pre-order, the last payment was added to the cart.
