I recently switched from a traditional AT&T account to a prepaid plan with Mint Wireless. My current phone (iPhone X) was purchased two years ago using the Apple Upgrade Program with monthly payments. I started the preapproval process this afternoon in anticipation of purchasing the new iPhone, and it appears my only purchase option is to buy the phone outright since I am no longer tethered to one of the four major carriers?

Anyone else use a prepaid plan and been able to finance the phone with Apple using either the Upgrade Program or Monthly Payments plan?
 
I’ve used prepaid for years now $35/month. I’ve always brought new. That’s the trade off you get with prepaid but it’s worth it. If anything if you have good credit get a credit card with no interest for 18 months and just pay it off. Don’t charge anything on it and tear up the credit card.
