Right...they said they were lowering the price for the phone.
That would be true, if you didn't HAVE to get a data plan. Which you do.
Since you MUST get a data plan, and they've raised the data plan cost by 10 dollars a month, that's a 240 dollar increase on the whole thing, however you want slice it up.
I could've bought the other iPhone for $399 + 24 months of $20 data plan = $879.00
Or now, $199 for phone + 24 months of $30 data plan = $919.00 total cost.
They're actually getting 40 more bucks out of you, total. Good deal over 2 years for the added features? Maybe so. But to read these headlines "cheaper iPhone" is a joke.
