<P> The iPhone Upgrade Program is a 24 - month program designed for consumers to be able to get the latest iPhone every year , without paying the whole price up - front . The program consists of `` low monthly payments '' , where consumers will gradually pay for the iPhone they have over a 24 - month period , with an opportunity to switch ( upgrade ) to the new iPhone after 12 months of payment have passed . Once 12 months have passed , consumers can trade their current iPhone with a new one , and the payments are transferred from the old device to the new device , and the program `` restarts '' with a new 24 - month period . </P>
