I'm getting ready to upgrade in a few days (hopefully not longer than a few weeks!) and I'm trying to decide to just go with AT&T's payment plan or with Apple's.

Apple's gets me AppleCare+ which I would've bought anyway. Right now, it seems that's the better deal. I'm worried about maybe not being approved, not that I have bad credit or anything. From what I've seen I have to give them a credit card. I'll have to dig one out I guess for that.

Another question I have is what happens that phone if I upgrade after 14 months? With 12 I'm supposed to turn it in. Do I get any extra credit for paying 2 extra months? If I'm doing it all online what happens to my current phone? Can I trade it in to still get a credit? Does that just reduce how much I'm paying per month?

I used to just sell my old phones on eBay but with the prices going down and risk going up I think I'd rather just turn it in, or sell it to someone locally.
