You should just be able to buy the Verizon model and get an unlocked phone with gsm/cdma compatability.

That's what the situation was for iPhone 7.

Agree. I'm only buying it if T-Mobile lets me trade in my 7 and pay $100 or something. $1000 is unreal.

Only Sprint does it, so you have to decide if you want to be on Sprint network (you don't). Be advised that Sprint charges an extra monthly fee for you to do this which they may or may not waive depending on your customer status

If I use an HDMI audio extractor that's 4Kp30 for the new Apple TV (4Kp60), will I get a signal at all?

I won't be gaming nor using HDR on it, so I had hoped I'd be able to just go with this option because of my speakers only having an optical port - no audio through HDMI.

The lack of subsidization is kind of interesting. The raw, unfiltered $1000 buttfuck of actual phone pricing will be difficult for a lot of people, regardless of means.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

My upgrade contract with Verizon explicitly states I can upgrade from my current phone to any new model after one year. All of the difference in cost to Verizon will simply go to higher monthly payments anyway so it's not a matter of "letting you do something" because you're going to pay more

There is an $8 difference between the 8+ and X if you finance the phone through your carrier, and $10 difference through the Apple Upgrade Program. If those amounts are significant to you, you probably shouldn't be in the market for the latest iPhone in the first place.

That's true, which is why it should cost as much as a Macbook Pro right?

You do realize this argument could be used for any astronomical price point they come up with.

$4000, well I use it every day, so what not?!? :smug:
