How do people afford the iPhone?

It costs like $500+!

That's only the retail price.

if you sign a 2 year contract (or you have a contract already, and are due for upgrade), it's only $199.

Also, they have jobs and have money to blow. Simple as that.

Most people buy it with a cellular service contract, which reduces the up front price to $199.00

Only $200 with a 2year contract

We buy it with a 3year plan that costs at least $50 each month, but we get data, alot minutes, txting, and really fast 4g… The iphone 4s only cost 159$ after that…

The iPhone 4s 16gb is only $199.99 with a two year contract.

  • Why do people say they can't afford iphones? My mom has been jobless for many years and my dad is stuck at a dead end job and they still manage to buy me expensive smartphones, expensive brand clothes, etc. I even have 2 computers. And i'm not spoiled because i will get a good job in the future and pay them back, but if i can afford it, then most people can afford it.
