The True cost of an iPhone and others...

I think the part about the iPhone is a bit convoluted. The author wraps up the phone and the service, which are not the same thing.

A more accurate comparison would be the difference in the price of the iPhone service vs. previous service. This all assumes that you already have a cell phone, which I believe is a fair assumption.

LOL. My first three cars combined didn't cost that much. And I wrecked two of them!

Parans are in the wrong place. Should be:

($60 required cellular plan + $5 taxes & fees) x 24 months = $1560
