i see the 32 bones a month thing. thats on top of carrier fee? so like i pay tmob 50 bones then i pay apple 32 bones/month? is that right? not a bad deal considering it comes with apple care + but idk cant u just buy 1 iphone outright and then resell it for like cost? am i missing something?

it's for people who don't want to or can't put the money up front and don't want to go through the process of meeting some cl rear end in a top hat. plus idk what kind of restrictions apple puts on how nice your returned phone has to look so maybe clumsy people in there too? either way it's dumb considering all the carriers still subsidize new phones every 2 years

verizon just got rid of subsidized plans unless your grandfathered in

looks like the installment plan equals just slightly less than buying the phone outright, except you're tied to always having the latest phone even though iphones last years

save enough for a single lunch every two years if you upgrade yearly i guess

It is dumb if you're upgrading every two years but no one wants to wait that long, that's why they're so popular. Everyone wants the new phone every year.

iPhone has one new feature but it's pretty cool and will take off well at least.

it's a no-way upgrade for people with a 6 though.
