Hey everyone, this is my first post. Seeing all the new devices that Apple has lined up for us in September, im finding it difficult to resist the temptation to upgrade from my trusty 6s to one of the new X's. I want to do this by enrolling into the iPhone Upgrade Program, however I dont know if I will be eligible (given that i am 17) and dont have much of a credit history. I will be turning 18 in two days, so will they consider this and take me on or will I need to pour my life savings into my next upgrade.

Thanks :)

Lack of credit history is just as bad as having poor credit history...

One thing that might work is - if you have the full amount - try getting a secured loan through you financial institution. Basically a loan where you have the money, leave it with them, then make payments to payoff the loan.

If they still offer them, anyway. It was a good way to build credit.
