As long as it’s paid off you can do what you choose with it.
AT&T don’t care if you sell it. It’s not like you are getting thing past them. You own the phone once make all the payments either at once or installments. Just like a car. AT&T just gave you interest free loan to buy the phone.
You can sell it, give it away or even crush it. Just make sure that you pay the bill in full to AT&T. This will prevent AT&T from blacklisting the iPhone.

That is false.
If the user wishes to sell their phone or give it away, they can do so. The only stipulation is that if the original owner who is currently making the payments on the financing program fails to make the payments in full (either in one lump sum or through the maturity of the financing program), AT&T reserves the right to blacklist the device is the purchaser fails to make payments that were agreed upon.
If you sell it and pay it off, you can get the X on next plan again.
FWIW, I sold a Buy 1 Get 1 Free iPhone 7 to my uncle and continued paying it. Granted, I sold it to family and he knew what I was doing.

Ya, it doesn’t matter what you do with the phone. AT&T doesn’t use the phone itself as collateral for your “Next financing/loan”. Your service will be cut if you don’t make the payments after you inform them of a trade-in and never give the phone back.
I just let a friend buy my phone which I told AT&T I was going to trade in. He bought it for what I owed on it. Like $444. Just going to use that money he gave me to pay the balance due on the phone once I am billed for the non returned phone. My friend really needed a phone badly since his 6s battery was draining about 20%/hour even after a battery replacement. He put his AT&T SIM in my 7Plus after I wiped and reset it, and the phone works flawlessly.

The car analogy is bad. There is no state title or papers to transfer with a phone and the car is usually collateral against a loan.

He can also do a trade-in upgrade and then never return the phone. He just needs to pay off the phone when billed.

Again. False.

Yes you can do what you want with it. I sold my iPhone (2 years ago) that was on the iPhone Upgrade Plan and continued to pay the rest of the payments. No issues.
Of course if you failed to make the payments and pay for it in full....there would be problems!

If you're getting another phone through AT&T Next, they will expect you to either trade your phone in within 14 days, pay the balance off or get billed for the whole amount.
Selling it on your own is fine, just get your ducks in a row and pay it off.
