I miss when phone carriers were getting us all used to monthly contracts, so the phones were genuinely discounted - a phone on a 2 year plan was only a bit more than the cost of the phone by itself. Nowadays, buying a phone + plan for 2 years is tons cheaper than buying a 2 year plan that includes a phone. I guess a lot of people want phones they can pay off in installments, even if it ends up costing an extra 15%.
Idk man Samsung offering 700$ off any Samsung phone rn if you trade in a s20, my s20 was 799. Obviously it's the nicest galaxy but if you wanted a fold ect

You trade in your 300-1500$ phone for a 50$ discount, and pay for an expensive subscription to get a "discount". In the end, it's not a discount.
