An iPhone is not under $100. It is ~$500. Whether you pay that upfront or in carrier subsidy is up to you. |
Since all phones are subsidized... who the hell looks at the full price? Common denominator is the contract price. I know exactly zero people, in person, who buy at full price. This is all coworkers, friends, family, etc... and probably over 95% of them have smartphones of all flavors (even one with WP). Hell even my sister with T-Mobile still sells her old iphone for like $200 to get the new one.. so even her's is kind of a subsidized price.
