so, screw over the west coast people

Not a major screw over as it was for east coasters. You'll survive the 5 am wakeup vs the 3 am wake up eastern guys had to.

Can we get some details on how the iPhone upgrade program will work? When I clicked through the Apple store app to check out the details it says I’ll be responsible for the entire amount due on the iPhone loan, minus the $500 trade up value? That sounds bogus!

Don't select that you have an iPhone to Trade In. That is only if you are selling them your iPhone back (which under the iPhone Upgrade Program would require you to buy your phone outright first).
