Quick question...

I’m on the upgrade program and my understanding is you can upgrade early at 6 months in. My 6th month is December 18.

Does anyone know if Apple lets you pay for the 6th payment early to be able to upgrade earlier than 6 months? So, if I make the 6th payment now, could I upgrade before December 18? Or do they not make that type of exception?

No big deal either way. Thanks!
 
Don't quote me on this but it sounds like no. It says "six regularly scheduled" payments.

You can upgrade after 12 payments not 6 payments/months.
That's actually not true. After you've made 6 payments you can upgrade early.

"Early Upgrade Option. At any time after you’ve made six (6) regularly-scheduled installment payments, you may accelerate your payments and become upgrade-eligible by paying the equivalent of at least twelve (12) installment payments under your Installment Loan."
 
From what I understand you still have to make 12 payments not 6. After 6 months you can pay 6 payments to become eligible. That’s what I understand. Apple wants 12 payments.

Right! After 6 payments you can pay the other 6 remaining payments early and can trade in your phone for a newer one.
