We knew that Movistar was preparing with Apple a program to automatically renew the iPhone of its customers and its launch was scheduled for the coming weeks. But the operator has stepped on the accelerator and finally has coincided with the beginning of the presale of the iPhone 17.
From today, September 12, you can reserve your new iPhone. And from today, September 12, Mimovistar customers can already enjoy ‘swap’the final commercial name of a program that, internally, knew as ‘always new’.
Flexible and optional. The new Movistar renewal program is offered to everyone to convergent customers for the main device and allows to renew their iPhone every 24 months paying a fixed monthly fee. The first models that enter the program are the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max and the iPhone Air.
One of the Swap advantages is flexibility, since the user can decide whether or not to renew their iPhone. In case of opting for renewal, it is also possible to choose when you want to change your device for Apple’s most recent model, from month 24 to month 48.

Standard on the main device. The SWAP website is operational from today, coinciding, as we said, with the opening of the reserves of the new Apple iPhone, which will go on sale on September 19.
This terminal change model is included as standard in the main line of Mimovistar packages with 48 months financing and renewal from month 24. For additional devices, the renewal program is available as standard in financing at 36 months, although the client can choose when to change it from month 24.
The monthly fee can vary. The program guarantees access to a device of the same value as the one previously enjoyed. That is, if you have an iPhone 17, you can choose the hypothetical iPhone 19 in case the Price remains the same.
When there is a value modification, up to the loss, an adjustment of the fee will be adjusted. For example, if you have an iPhone 17 and you want the future iPhone 19 Pro, your fee will upload; But if your mobile is an iPhone 17 pro max and you prefer an iPhone 19, most likely you get the quota.
Something unique, but not unpublished. Movistar is the only operator that currently has a service of these characteristics. However, an WorldOfSoftware reader (thank you!) He reminded us yesterday that it is not something unpublished in Spain, because Movistar herself launched something similar ten years ago with the iPhone 6s.
That program was called ‘always new’, hence they have known Swap internally with that denomination. But it wasn’t exactly the same.
In 2015, the client could finance his iPhone to 18 OA 24 months saving 30%in the installments; Once the financing period was finished, you could change your iPhone for the new model or keep the current one. With swap, savings can vary and the possibility of renewing your iPhone extends from 24 to 48 months.
