> I believe that in the 10 years that iPhones have been sold, very few of the new models have been offered at introduction to be sold unlocked. The reason is the carriers have no hook in you to sign a new contract. The hook the carriers have in you is: "Do you want cell service with that?" I'm going with AT&T because I have 3 iPhones now on my account WITH AT&T, and have no adequate reason to change. The X-Phone I buy will go on the AT&T account in place of one already on it, and already paid off. NO money from this sale goes to AT&T; it is an arrangement between Apple and me (and that bank). > And when it was, it was at a couple of hundred more, supposedly the cost of the subsidy from the carrier. The last iPhone I bought – the 6+, about 2½ years ago, I bought from the carrier, and my monthly bill showed EXACTLY the same itemization as before I bought it, PLUS a specific item in the form of a monthly payment for the UNsubsidized cost of the iPhone. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jim Saklad mailto:jimdoc@icloud.com
