I've always bought 6 new iPhone a year for the family all 128gb and end up selling the older phones and would typically net $450-$500 to pay per phone after all was done and said.

My mentality was even though two of the users are my parents, having newest devices meant always under warranty and newest tech.

Now with the 10 being a lot more. I'm thinking I'll be better off putting 6 phones on the Apple upgrade program since I'll literally be out of pocket half the price of full retail and not have to worry about resale value and such. Is this a good idea for multiple devices?

How would it work financing 6 of them? Should I do them all under my name or half and half under two names? What can I do ahead of time to be ready on preorder night?

Will it be done with one credit check and not six?

Can I theoretically use the funds from my 6 iPhone 7 devices I'll sell and pay down the loan or cover X amount of months? Or better deposting those funds into the account it would debit from?

Most importantly, for someone who upgrades yearly is this a cheaper way to go?

Thanks guys
