Why are other countries up in arms and America lazily sits back?

Median or average...median wage is substantially less than the average wage.

It looks like you are quoting median.

These posts are getting old and annoying, quickly.

If you think the economy is in shambles and are doing so poorly financially to the extent you just can't afford an extra $15.00/month (which brings iPhone pricing in line with every other smartphone) - DON'T BUY ONE.

The prices are by far the most reasonable in the world and are in line with AT&Ts other pricing.

It's simple - if you can't afford it, you don't buy it.

I agree here-- don't buy it if you don't want to pay for it-- i do not want to pay for it, therefore I am sticking with my original iPhone

and please, when you do buy it..please do not start numerous threads talking about how expensive your plan is each month!

just my two cents...

Yes, the iPhone is expensive and no, we don't need any more threads complaining about it. Seriously.
