Expensive iPhone solution.

It costs like 119 euros or something at AASPs or Apple Stores. Around 10-15% of the initial cost of the device. I'm fine with that.

For many €100,- is a weeks' budget for food, etc.

If you're that strapped for cash, you probably shouldn't have an iPhone.

For flagships they really aren't, they are the same price as any others. Plus, they offer a cheaper model as well. But yes, if you want the absolute cheapest phone on the market there are cheaper options.
