Leave apple upgrade program

Hi, I am currently 3 weeks before I can upgrade my phone and the apple upgrade program but I no longer want to lease my phone. Can I give the phone back after 12 months and walk away? do I have to continue to purchase the phone for 12 more months and own it? Or do I have to buy myself out or the rest of the contract? Sorry

iPhone X, iOS 12

You need to complete 24 months of payments to own the phone outright. You cannot walk away after 12 months. you either upgrade or complete the 12 remaining payments.


You can of course pay the remaining 12 months in a single payment if you really wanted to.


Either way, you need to completely pay off the loan you received when starting the upgrade program.
