The iPhone is cheaper than other "smart phones"...
To refer to the iPhone as expensive is nonsense. The iPhone plus a two year contract makes it cheaper than other "smart phones". The iPhone only seems expensive since Apple wants its money upfront, instead of through misdirection by hiding the cost of the in the service contract, like other phone makers; which is illegal in some countries.
Anyone who says otherwise is just ignorant of the facts.
