Apple has opened up iPhone Upgrade Program pre-approvals for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro lineups. This allows iPhone Upgrade Program members to get a head start on their iPhone 12 upgrade before pre-order day rolls around.
Here’s how to get pre-approved for your iPhone 12 upgrade through the iPhone Upgrade Program:
- Open the Apple Store app on your iPhone
- Choose your preferred model
- Complete the upgrade process within the Apple Store app
You can also double check your eligibility under the “For You” tab of the Apple Store app, where you should see a “Check upgrade eligibility” button.
As a refresher, iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro pre-orders begin on Friday, October 16, with the first orders arriving on Friday, October 23. iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max pre-orders do not begin until November 6, with availability beginning on November 13. You can currently only get pre-approved for the iPhone 12 or the iPhone 12 Pro.
Once you complete the pre-approval process, all you’ll have to do is return to the Apple Store app at the pre-order time and place your order. Pre-orders will begin at 5 a.m. PT/8 a.m. ET.
