    iPhone 12 Pro Max Payoff upgrade plan & cancel AppleCare mechanics

    I want to make sure I understand the mechanics and correct order of what I want to do. I bought a phone using the Apple Upgrade plan last fall. Of course, I had to buy the AppleCare plan. My understanding is that Citizens One pays Apple the full price of the plan at that time so it is...

    Apple Upgrade Program - Advanced Payments Toward Balance or Stick to Standard Monthly Payments?

    I'm new to the Apple Upgrade Program. Are there any disadvantages or restraints to making any large advance payments toward the balance of my device (is it even possible), or should I stick with the standard monthly payment I'm committed to?

    Carrier Switched Carriers After Pre-Ordering iPhone...

    Last Friday, I pre-ordered a new iPhone. I enrolled in the Apple Upgrade Program and selected Verizon as my carrier. Long story short, I switched to T-Mobile yesterday, but my phone will arrive with a Verizon SIM. Being that phones shipped directly from Apple are unlocked (with the exception of...

    Question About Apple Upgrade Program Credit Checks

    Enrolling in the Apple Upgrade Program requires a loan through Citizens One. When I enrolled my phone last week, it conducted a hard credit check. I want to enroll my wife in the program. Will there be a hard credit check again?

    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...

    Other Verizon Monthly > Apple Upgrade

    So I am currently on Verizon's monthly device payment plan with my Xs Max and I want to switch to the Apple upgrade program when the preorders go live for the iPhone 11. Is that possible, if so how?

    I am scheduled to pick up my Xs this Friday. I am supposed to bring in my current phone for the trade. Do I just bring the phone or do I need the ac adapter and cable and headphones?

    iPhone 8/Plus Best way to switch from iPhone (with upgrade program) to Pixel?

    I got my iPhone 8+ in November or October as part of the Apple Upgrade program. I pay around $45 a month for this (instead of buying the phone outright) which is supposed to be for 24 months. I really want to switch to a Pixel 2 XL ASAP. What's the best option for doing this? I know I can cancel...

    Slight regret... sorta

    This just occurred to me. I switched from AT&T's next plan to Apple's Upgrade program. They both more or less are the same critter. The advantage of Apple's program (unless I'm confused which is definitely possible) is Apple's Upgrade customers get preferential treatment for the upgrades...

    Hi, Two questions that I can't seem to find an answer to. I am on ATT Mobile Share 6gb with three users. We pay $60 for the plan and $40 each for 'access' minus $20 for all having devices off contract. If I buy the iPhone 8 or X through the Apple Upgrade Plan, will ATT consider me back on...

    AUP & Sim-Free

    Does anyone know how one could go about joining AUP and getting a Sim-Free phone? Not a Verizon phone but a Sim-free phone. I know its pedantic but thought somebody here would probably know. I chatted with an Apple agent and they said AUP wasn't available with Sim-Free but maybe someone has had...

    Apple Upgrade Program enroll and preorder: Delivery or Pick Up In Store?

    Hi guys, I was able to get my pre-order in early morning yesterday, but I was only able to get it shipped. All the stores were showing up as unavailable for pickup. Was anyone else who is signing up for the AUP for the first time able to get a pick up in store preorder early morning yesterday?

    have 7plus silver on upgrade order due for delivery 16th, and preorder pick up at target.

    If the target preorder, reserved in store comes through, will I be able to purchase the phone and then just return my iphone upgrade order. The upgrade is my first enrollment, so I am not trading in a phone.

    Replaced iPhone with AUP

    I've seen absolutely nothing about this topic, if anyone has please point me in the right direction. Obviously trying to chat with Apple right now is near impossible. Here's the situation: Got a 6s last year day one on the AUP. 6 or so months in I had it replaced for who knows what, can't...
