UK Upgrade Program-Cash deposit instead of phone trade in possible?

[Azzin]

Hey all,

So I'm thinking of an X on the iUP.

I've got a 7+, that according to the Apple website, I can use for a trade in allowance.

However, I've got an offer of £472 from Envirophone (which will be more than Apple give me for sure), so I'm wondering if I could sell it and use the cash as a deposit for an X?

Ta.

I want to find out more about the upgrading process in the UK to go from a 7plus to an x too. Apple store app just says I am eligible to upgrade from 15th of Sep. I didn't get on the program until October on a 7plus 256gb due to lack of stock in my area. If you sell phone privately and get that amount you surely need to pay off the balance of the 20 month program before they allow you to upgrade or was there some other option when you got your 7plus? From what I can see the value of my current phone just about clears off the outstanding amount due to Barclays but having dealt with these online companies who buy your phone it always end up with them trying to find faults in phone to pay out less so I would be happy just to give my phone to apple if it cleared off the current deal. If anyone knows how it will work please let us know

I'm not on iUP.

I bought my 7+ outright from Apple at launch last year.
