Has anyone here bought an iPhone using the iPhone Upgrade Program (UK only)? I have a few questions:


1) Can you use a debit card, or only credit card? I don’t have a credit card.

2) What credit score do you need to have to be eligible? I have a 900+ score according to Experian, will I be eligible for it?

3) Are students eligible for it? I don’t earn, but receive enough income from my parents to fully support myself, my bank history will show how much I receive and spend, so I can easily pay for it.

I just wanna know if I’ll be eligible for it.

Probably just easiest to look here: https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/iphone/iphone-upgrade-program and call your local Apple store.

1) US requires a credit card, so I don't think UK will be much different.
2) UK apparently has a different credit score system, in US its 300-850. I think they approve with anything over 650.
3) Being a student doesn't matter as long as you pass the credit check and fulfill how they want the loan to be paid. Here its Credit card.
