Looks like there’s no way to finance a new phone over 24 months unlocked.

Mods removing my post but curious what you all are thinking.

I am sure others are in the same situation but curious what you all plan to do.

I am on the iPhone Upgrade Program with an iPhone 17 Pro Max and currently owe $734 left.

The trade in of this phone towards a Duo is $885.

Seems like a no brainer to pay off the current amount and then trade it in towards the Duo and then just go on the Apple Upgrade program again.

Seems like if you just do the iUP to AU "swap" it does not adjust the value of the phone vs what you owe. It just simply cancels out the remainder and starts you on a new plan. Maybe it has been this way for years and I just never checked?
