With the X being delayed a month, and assuming Apple launches the 2018 iPhone next September, like usual (and it’s not delayed). Anyone that’s on a financing program will have only made 11 months worth of payments and technically won’t be eligible to upgrade on launch day. Wonder how that’s going to work?

You technically will be eligible. They simply will charge you 1 additional payment if you only made 11 months worth. 2 additional payments if you only made 10 months. I started iUP on 10/15/16 and I pre-ordered the 8 Plus on 9/15/17 (12th payment was on this day).

Oh, ok. Duh..Wasn’t even thinking. I was assuming everyone upgraded on launch day like me. Lol. Makes complete sense that no matter when u get the phone u would just pay the difference to complete the 12 required payments.
