*Is the Apple name going down Hill with iphone contract pricing?

Im not so worried about the pricing, more the fact that I have to start my 18 months again...

I bought the phone in store, I own it! Why do I have to pay O2 again for it!?

As a customer of American cellular companies, allow me to put your fear to rest that your getting screwed no matter where you go.

Surprisingly, the iPhone on AT&T with contract is essentially identical to there biggest competitor Verizon. Not to mention the phone is a dozen times better.

I think that more of the pricing on the phones is due to the fact that you have multiple companies trying to make money off of the device.

I third that, all of these threads are starting to seem pointless.

And Apple doesn't have much control over the plan pricing, that is mostly the carrier's choice. And I don't see it hurting Apple's name at all.

And please, wasteland this thread.

The rising cost of gas is the cause of it all 🙄

Apple has no control on pricing.

That might not be the whole truth but close enough...

And spesking of closing...
