Alright everyone, I got (just about) all of my questions regarding the iPhone Upgrade Program answered.
If you
Click Here, you can see the full chat, but I figured I'd give some bullet points so here they are.
Q:
Will the Early iPhone Upgrade program be available online at 12:01 PDT, for the Pre-Orders?
A: No, you will need to Set an Appointment at your local Apple Store, and you need to bring a Credit Card at the time of the appointment. The reason you cannot do it online is because they require a hand signature to the agreement of the "loan" of the phone.
Q:
Is the iPhone Upgrade Program only through Apple, and not through the Carrier?
A: Yes, the program is specifically from the Apple Retail store.
Q:
Do I have to have an Upgrade Eligible number in order to go through this program?
A: No, again, since the program is not through the Carrier you do not need to have an upgrade on your phone number.
Q:
What happens to the remaining balance of the loan when you want to get the next iPhone after a year?
A: When you go to get the next iPhone after 12 Months has Passed, when you trade your Current iPhone into Apple, the remaining balanced is canceled out.
Q:
Do you need to be apart of one of the Four Carriers in order to be in the Program?
A: No, if you're using a no contract carrier you can use this program. Again, since it is through Apple, and not carriers, as well as being unlocked, all you'd need to do is get the phone and pop in your SIM Card.
Q:
Are you able to pay off the Loan Earlier than 24 Months?
A: Yes, and there are also other options for payment. 6 Months, 12 Months, 18 Months, and 24 Months.
Q:
Does the phone have to be perfect in order to trade in to get next years iPhone?
A: It can have normal wear and tear. No cracks. But even if it does, Apple Care+ is included for the program, so you can get it replaced and then trade it in.
I hope this answered most of everyones questions, because it certainly helped me out
