The trick is to settle the contract before you upgrade. I paid £450 this year to settle my 16PM contract. No early upgrade fees and I keep the phone.
The phone is worth around £700 on marketplace.
Absolutely no one should be trading their phones in and paying early upgrade fees unless they don’t have a brain or are extremely lazy. It takes 2 minutes to take a few photos and put an ad up. Obviously this only applies if you have a year old iPhone in decent condition.

£450? the early upgrade fee after 6 months but less than 1 year should be £300

It’s not an early upgrade fee it’s settling the contract and keeping the phone and then pre ordering the new one.
I don’t send the phone back it’s mine to keep or sell.

Has anybody’s upgrade disappeared in the ee app on the manage page or the shop page mine has.

Do you mean the upgrade order or the option on your plan?
16-09-2025 07:41 AM
The option on your plan

Yes mine has disappeared it says I can’t upgrade, I’m assuming that’s because I’ve upgraded to the IPhone 17 Pro Max and it’s awaiting dispatch for it to update

Yeah my disappeared the second my order confirmation came

I’m hoping the same too, waiting for my plan/contract to update.

Thought I’d come and chip in to say you’re not alone, I ordered mine sim-free and it looks the exact same.
My confirmation email said within 14 days but on my EE tracking page it says on the 19th so we’ll see how accurate that is and where the priority lies 😂
