iPhone 8/Plus iPhone Upgrade Programme: UK

[GigabitEthernet]

I'm looking at getting an iPhone 8 on the iPhone Upgrade Programme in the UK.

If I am upgrading every year, the cost is essentially the same as a new iPhone so my question is, why would anyone not do this. Surely there has to be some kind of catch?

The upgrade programme requires you to purchase Apple care.

No it doesn't...

It does. 64gb iPhone 8 is £828 on the upgrade programme and £699 of bought without the upgrade programme.

The upgrade program does require AppleCare, it’s built into the fees.

The alternative Apple payment program doesn’t include AppleCare but doesn’t allow an upgrade after 11 months.

It actualy does. Rather, it's already included in the monthly plan.

That’s not the Upgrade Programme, that’s iphone payments.
