you pay the same with your contract. what do you pay per months for your contract? the thing is that maybe 20 dollar of that monthly fee are a part of the iphone.
in europe you can also get the iphone of 99 or 199 bucks but you also have to pay for a contract then. but instead of that you can buy the phone for 599 and get a seperate contract or prepaid card which is then 20 bucks cheaper per month
in the end you pay also 600 bucks for your iphone in usa but the costs are hidden in your contract. in the end people pay 600 bucks for something which costs 150 to produce. the rest is marketing and profit.
and before someone starts to calcualte what i said, that are just some numbers to show how it works and they are not 100% correct.
