Agreed.

In Australia you could get an iPhone 32gb on an $82 month plan over 24 months with Telstra (major telco) vs buying it outright for $1000 + going on a $19 a month plan. You're about $500 ahead after 2 years. Not much money? Thats probably 6 months of groceries, a set of new tyres for a standard car, etc, etc...

But hey, who am I to dish out financial advance, I'm just some random on the internet.

That's a huge saving to buy the phone outright!
Why don't people just save up the au$1000 beforehand?

T-mobile in addition to the no-contract shadow plans (most owned by big companies) in the US is putting a crack in the subsidized plans.
 
I think they meant that in the USA Apple was allowing retailers to sell their iPhones at a different retail price than the other retailers, therefore are they even doing this practice in the USA?

Not that I am agreeing that Walmart has any such relevance here, or that the statement even makes much sense.

It didn't occur to me that you could use font sizes larger than the arbitrary "5"; I'll have to remember to play with that so I can abuse it more often.

I love-love-love you for that. ;)
 
Odd law. Well, not my place to judge. Still I think it's a strange law.

Seem a manufacturer can't suggest a price. We see it all over the place in the US: MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price). It doesn't mean they're forcing the retailer's to sell at that price. Apple ain't TELLING them to sell at a certain price (or else:eek:), are they?:confused:

Sending their pricing to Apple prior to sale is hardly Apple suggesting the sell price.
