Other Anyone Notice that all the US Carriers Charge More Than Apple for Device Payments? (only $0.99)

It's only $0.99/iPhone, but sell a few million- that's a nice skim off the top for the companies for 0% financing.

Pretty clear to me. While I haven’t checked his findings he is saying for instance if Apple charges 56 a month for the x atnt is charging 56.99. Well that’s what I got from his posting.

Round error??? Maybe I'm missing something, but is 99 cents REAL money to an Apple user?

I never said it was right or wrong? Ask the op not me.

I didn't say that it's a lot of $, but it's just something not overtly disclosed to all the consumers who purchase their iPhones thru Device Payments. It's purely an observation for educational purposes.

It's a nice chunk of change for the carriers to pick up a $0.99 on each unit.

$0.99 x 1 million units= $999,000 of "free" $.

So what are some actual examples?
