Apple opens iPhone Upgrade Program preapproval ahead of iPhone 11 launch

Shortly after announcing the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, Apple has opened up preapprovals for the iPhone Upgrade Program and iPhone Payments option that offer customers free financing with low monthly payments. Follow along below for how to apply and get preapproved before preorders open on Friday, September 9th, as well as the difference between the two 0% financing options.

After launching the iPhone Upgrade Program several years ago, Apple has made some nice improvements for both existing and new customers to offer a seamless experience ordering the latest iPhones with free financing. Like it did last year, Apple has opened up the preapproval process for new iPhone Upgrade Program customers and is also offering the same for those who’d like to opt for the iPhone Payments plan which skips the AppleCare+ and yearly upgrade.

Keep in mind you’ll need to complete the preapproval process on the Apple Store app. The preapproval process will be open until September 12th at 9 pm PT. Both existing and new customers will use the steps below.

You’ll notice as you go through the steps that you can choose to include AppleCare+ (with or without theft and loss coverage) and the yearly upgrade option or opt-out of both of those to just get the free monthly financing with the iPhone Payments option.

Here’s how these steps look:

If you need to chat with Apple Support, slide down further to get in touch with them via iMessage or a phone call. Next let Apple know if you’ll be trading in an iPhone.

Then decide if you want to do the iPhone Upgrade Program or the iPhone Payments option.

Now choose if you’re an existing iPhone Upgrade Program user or want to enroll. If you chose iUP, decide if you want theft and loss coverage with your AppleCare+. Follow the prompts to confirm your carrier and finish the process.

If you’re preapproved you’ll see green checkmarks for everything except for the last step.
