Why does the iPhone from T-Mobile cost a lot more?
Since T-Mobile doesn't have contracts anymore, you buy the phone for 500-700 bucks, and thats it. With other carriers, on contract, you have to pay like 50- whatever the 5s cost.
Why is it so much more expensive? Lol I don't like it at all tbh
It's actually the retail price of the phone - which they all charge if you don't' have a contract. Apple sets the price. The price is lower with a contract because they recoup the cost over the two years by what they charge you for service. That's the reason for early termination fees, you get a lowered price for the phone because you agree to have a contract for the two years. The ETF recoups the loss if you end the contract earlier.
Actually you could buy the phone for $149 & go from there.

- Why does the iPhone 6 cost more if you already have a cell phone? Every where I look it says the iPhone 6 plus 64 gig is 399. If I want to up grade from my AT&T flip phone the iPhone will cost me 649.99 with two year contract.
- Why does the iPhone 5 cost so much more than the iPod touch? They're both available in 16GB/32GB/64GB yet the unlocked iPhone 5 cost $649/$749/$849 when the iPod touch is only $229/$299/$399. I thought the iPod touch was "The iPhone without the phone." Why is it $420-$500 cheaper?
- Why does it cost an extra $100 for more storage in an iPhone? I can go out and get a 16GB flash drive for less than $15, but to put the same storage in an iPhone it costs an additional $100? Any idea why? Or are they just ripping us off?
