Called Trade Up With Installments, the programme allows s to pay less than they currently have to pay when purchasing a new iPhone model in instalments over 24 months. The new iPhone won't be locked to any carrier. Prior to the program, a in the United States had to pay around $32 (roughly Rs. 2,200) a month for a 16GB iPhone 6S. This covers the AppleCare+ warranty program, but a was still required to pay for wireless service. With the new plan, a customer could further curtail the monthly instalment fee to $15 (roughly Rs. 1,030) or less. s, however, wouldn't get AppleCare+ warranty program, which is worth between $99 (roughly Rs. 6,800) to $129 (roughly Rs. 8,800).

Apple says that under the new program, it is accepting older iPhone models and curbing the monthly instalment fee they have to pay. The value of your old iPhone (or Android, Windows Phone handset) is deducted from the total sum of the monthly instalment charge. Depending on the phone you're trading in, and its physical condition, the value Apple estimates on it could vary. Apple says (via Cnet) that s can also trade in their Android smartphones, or handsets powered by Microsoft's mobile operating system and get between $100 (roughly Rs. 6,880) and $300 (roughly Rs. 20,600).

Unlike the iPhone Upgrade programme, the Trade Up With Instalments programme doesn't allow s to trade in their phone every year for the next model - s will have to finish paying all remaining instalments before that can be done. An iPhone 6 Plus - $12.45 a month. Apple says that it is also happy to give you an instant credit for your old phone that is valid to be used in an Apple Store. For iPhone 4, you can expect about $100, for an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s, $200 for an iPhone 5, or iPhone 5s, or iPhone 5c, and $300 for an iPhone 6.

The program is currently valid only in the United States, and via Apple Stores.
