iPhone Upgrade Program [MERGED]

[0970373]

Then my apologies. I feel like we are getting different responses.l from different reps. Anyone have Tim's number?

You can email tcook@apple.com and if you lay out your email well with concerns and questions, someone from his executive office will likely get back to you. Actually, I think I will also send an email to see if they can provide some answers.

I may as well. Ive heard other people say that reservations are only to sign up for the plan and not get a phone that day which I don't see that happening.

Has anyone else checked on if Apple will let you switch from a reserved iPhone paid in full up front to the Apple Upgrade Program?

I called today and I was referred to the Apple Store I reserved at. I called them and they didn't have an answer for me.

Anyone else get an actual answer?

I was told that you could switch

 

[sincere11105]

I was told that you could switch

I was told that once you go into the store you can make the decision then

Am I seeing thin correctly? It seems that Apple is selling AppleCare+ for $129 as part of the AUP, but only $99 standalone as you can see from this link. Is this correct? Or is it an old link?

You misread the page. $99 is the new service fee, not the price of AC+ itself.

What is your point? I said unlocked sim-free, not contract free. Since nobody has one yet, we aren't sure if they are carrier locked still. Plus the AT&T and T-Mobile phones look to be different models this year, which is odd since they are both GSM. People who have Cricket, Straight Talk, Net 10, etc. are still stuck not knowing if the phones will work. Verizon's will be carrier unlocked due to the FCC, but you can't buy a Verizon one without a Verizon account on Apple's website currently. You also cannot buy an AT&T one, or Sprint one without an existing account. T- Mobile is the only one you can order without an existing T-Mobile account.

I'd love to order an at&t model, since I use Straight Talk with a SIM that uses AT&T's network, but I can't because it requires an AT&T account. I ordered a T-Mobile one for now, so hopefully that is unlocked and works on AT&T's network. It's still missing the new AT&T band 30, though.

Every phone sold at full price on apple.com is unlocked, period. We have this debate every year.

I got an email, but it doesn't show that I have any reservations in the Apple Store app

the app only shows genius appointments

Where can I find the cost of the plan? I could not find it.

I'm curious to see what kind of credit score you need

I've read in previous posts that they don't really run a credit score. But that they are going to check the credit card that you use to make sure you have enough money available to pay for three months of payments, but maybe someone could clarify that for me.

What did they say after the question you posted? Just wondering how hard of a credit check it is.

I'm pretty sure you can pay it outright if you don't qualify. In the Faq, it states

Can I change the iPhone Upgrade Program to a different purchase option?
You can also purchase your iPhone through carrier financing or at full price. Ask a Specialist in store for more information.

.

I think the reservation is just reserving your phone and at the time of your pick up you just choose how you want to pay for it. Whether it be iPhone UP, carrier financing or at full price.

Sadly, that wasn't answered. I assume it would be the same as if a carrier was doing it

They didn't respond to that question? Strange.

One rep told me to call the sales department. I guess they didn't know 100%.

Is there an option to pay more upfront to lower the monthly payments?

 

[sincere11105]

Is there an option to pay more upfront to lower the monthly payments?

Don't think so. Nothing mentioned. But you can pay more monthly to shorten the length of payments

 

[Shadowbech]

Unfortunately No. Your thinking of like down payment.

 

[Shadowbech]

Don't think so. Nothing mentioned. But you can pay more monthly to shorten the length of payments

True, but not for the first few month of payments though I assume?

 

[sincere11105]

I wouldn't see why not. It doesn't make sense if you can't put a down payment. You can make extra payment once you leave the store.

I just hope you can get in on the Upgrade program while on a prepaid plan...
