iPhone X Apple Upgrade Program and 2018 Release

[Jimpilot]

I'm a member of the AUP and just checked and see that I’m eligible for an upgrade on 9/27 (got my X on release day)

Wonder how this will work this year if the release is before 9/27. Will we end up paying the last payment to get our new phone?

Straight from Apple's website:
"You’re eligible to upgrade to a new iPhone once you’ve made 12 payments. Just trade in your current iPhone and start a new plan.It’s that easy."
"Upgrading to a new eligible iPhone is subject to its release and availability at the time you exercise your upgrade option."

Above is correct. As long as you made 12 payments you are eligible for an upgrade. So your 12th payment would be taken care of on 8/27/18. In my case, I did the upgrade on 9/21/17, I checked my eligibility and my 12th payment will be made on 8/21/18 and therefore come September, I will be eligible for an upgrade.

As for your last question, typically if you made 11 payments and you upgrade, you will end up paying the last payment at check out when you upgrade to the new phone. I started the iUP program when I got the 7 Plus but started in October. My 12th payment would be in September and would be eligible for the upgrade in October, but since they allow you to upgrade early, they just charge you whatever remainder of the 12 you have left at check out so in my case my 12th payment was taken care of at check out when I upgraded to the 8 Plus. Hope this helps.

If you are only at 10-11 payments when the new one is released, its as simple as paying the extra months and Boom done deal!!! Us X people got a little screwed because they were late coming out so Im expecting to have to pay the extra 1 payment day-1 of the release! I cannot wait to get my Iphone Xplus!!

Is there any way to check for anyone who used the IUP Program. I know that if one used the Verizon Device Payment Program they will be eligible by September, since Verizon cares that you pay Half before you are eligible for early upgrade.

Well i guess either way I will make the 12th payment, only question is what phone will be in my hand when I make it.
