New iPhone and Phone Carriers

So I am a part of the iPhone Upgrade program and I'm looking to get the new iPhone 12. I am also about to get off my parents phone plan with Verizon and get on my own. I have been looking into Spectrum as my service provider. Is it possible to get the new iPhone with spectrum as my service provider? Because when I try to upgrade my phone, in the carriers section it only has Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. Any insight or other suggestions on this would help.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Ordering through the Apple Site, you'll note Spectrum is not listed. They are new to providing service to iPhone and whether they can sell you a phone directly, I don't know, but I suspect they cannot yet. You can however order a Sim Free iPhone, paying for the phone in full, then take your phone to Spectrum to use on their network if it's Spectrum you want as your carrier.


Please Note: Spectrum does NOT provide service for Apple Watch, so if you have an Apple Watch or plan to get Apple Watch, you may want to rethink going with Spectrum at this time.
