How can I change from a special financing plan to an iPhone Upgrade Program Plan?

I am on a special financing for my iPhone 6s, and am stuck not getting to upgrade, although I have several iPhone 7 from the Apple Store and pre-order. I am curious how I can change to an Upgrade Program and upgrade my iPhone every year? I will ditch my 18 month special financing.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10, Jet Black, 256GB, 7Plus

You have told us very little, as "special financing" could mean hundreds of different things.


The general answer is to pay off your iPhone 6S, then visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Retailer and purchase an iPhone 7, enrolling in the Upgrade Program.


Or, once you pay off your iPhone 6S and end your cellular carrier contractual obligation, then you can buy the iPhone 7 at the Online Apple Store and enroll in the Upgrade Program there.


In all cases, I believe you would have to pass the credit requirements.


Once your iPhone 6S is paid for and free from cellular carrier contractual obligations, it should be yours to sell.

I do not understand your questions (any of the three of them that seem embedded above).

Let's try this again. You will pay off your iPhone 6S and end your obligation to your cellular carrier. There would be no "change" involved, as you are now the owner of your iPhone. Barclay is out of the picture. If you want iPhone Upgrade for the iPhone 7, you must pass Citizens One's credit check and set up the upgrade program with them.

Yes ... if you pay off your iPhone 6S obligation first and end your obligation on your cellular carrier's contract.

"Ditch" what? Again, you must pay off your iPhone 6S and end your existing contract. Does "ditch" mean you are thinking of not paying some money you owe? Then the debt collectors will come after you. This is illegal, and you face fines, imprisonment, or both.
