Apple aint dropping the price, but the carriers! I dont think you understand a subsidie phone to a retail price phone.
Wow, you're so upset at this news that you decided to put words in my mouth. Where did I say Apple dropped the price.
BTW, don't for one second think Apple has no involvement with this. As I said, this has never happened in the history of the iPhone. Why Now? One word: Competition!
The truth comes out. You have two accounts!

We are royally screwed in Canada for our carrier contracts.
How many more accounts do you use to troll here?
Samsung will not be pleased at your cover being blown this way. Either opt for self-immolation or wait for the inevitable knock at the door.

I'm not a fan of 2 year contracts never mind 3. That's too long.
Who keeps the same phone for 3 years nowadays?

I think a better question is how does a phone last 3 years nowadays? My 4S was in perfect condition, never dropped, not a scratch. Had that for 16 months before the lock button broke. Even getting a phone to last the 2 year contract is very hard to do.
Me. I will have had my iPhone 4 for 3 years this September. Can't upgrade until next year.

Oh, I'm sure this isn't the last we've seen of this troll. When you're going to troll with multiple accounts, why stop at two?
Well,they allow to upgrade after 30 months,still a long time but yes they do-provided you sign an extension for three more years

How nice of them
exactly.... forget the initial price, it could be 0$ to buy and 100$ a month, the OP would see it as a good deal as it was free lol
This is pretty funny. OP shot themselves in the foot and proved they were trolling with two accounts.
And in the UK it's not uncommon for iPhones to be free when purchased with a contract. What's your point?
Don't forget there's competition within service providers too.

I agree completely, but I know several. My mother in law wanted an iPhone, and went last year to get one. She got a 3G 8GB iPhone for "free" and signed up for a 2 year contract. It was outdated when she got it, and I cringe when I see it.
Worst of all, she wanted to make sure it was safe, so bought an $80 OtterBox case...
There are others that have done similar things, but it just goes to show you that someone will sign up for it.
