Last I heard from people who started iUP with the 6S/6S Plus and when the upgraded to the 7 / 7 Plus, they did a soft hit and not a hard hit. I hope that's the case for those who are currently on iUP.
Again, some people last year reported that they never got a hard inquiry and wasn't on their report after many months. So it's hit or miss.
The logic is: You complain that Apple's iPhone 8 has too much bezel. Apple offers iPhone X with almost no bezel, yet you're not satisfied (for whatever reason). Apple is offering you a bezel-less phone, yet you're still not happy, therefore you have no right to complain. It's simple logic.
Apple basically buy the phone back from your for whatever is outstanding on your loan, as long as you've paid off 50% or more (12 payments), and then you take out a new 24 month loan for the new phone.
The new interesting twist is that the X won't be out for six weeks. So, those of us wanting that will be making usually two extra payments. What happens to them? And us, next year, when we want the next phone that comes out, we hope, at the *normal* time, and we are two payments short?!
Thanks! I was worried about changing it as I've always had it set the same. I remember when setting up some stuff for my grandparents iPad several years back, it got all screwed up when we logged into different iTunes accounts because it wouldn't let us open the apps purchased on the other account. Not sure if that has changed now. I'm holding out for the iPhone X, so I'm glad that you guys are able to figure this stuff out ahead of our preorder! The one upside to the delayed launch, lol. I'll certainly do this before preorder next month.
That's good. I had a feeling they didn't for me this time. I did the pre-approval process and it said I was approved instantly within the app whereas last year when I started it took a bit to check my credit and then I got the email.. etc.
I wonder what role your taxes play into this pricing. Someone's gotta pay for universal healthcare, right?

There is a thread over at reddit where someone got Apple Chat to say that Citizens One will refund the two extra payments so we can then pay them next year to make up the two months difference (plus $10 or whatever the difference between the two phones over two months....).
There is also some dispute about that answer since it's from a chat agent (usually perfectly reliable source! /s ) and I don't believe it until I see it. But this is the problem with getting the phone on launch date and needing 12 payments for next time's restart. If anything delays the phone you want, you are either screwed, need to delay your purchase, or, as one person said, should always start in November.
That would infer that Apple are still going to value your old phone at 50% of it's original price and 'overpay' the outstanding balance on the loan for Citizens One to then refund it to you!?!? Another route they could go would be to allow X owners to upgrade next year with only 10 out of 24 payments completed.
Right, we have no idea what/if anything they are going to do. Make us wait two months next year? Credit us something back?
Can you clarify?Edit: Just received the email! I'll be waiting for the next one for the X
What email about what?
Can you clarify?
