If that were the case couldn't I literally buy a phone with cash and trade it in for more value?Right now in the US you can buy an iPhone 13 for $475 from Walmart, but a carrier will give you a trade in value of $640ish you reckon?
We generally don't buy phones with cash here either and there are plenty of networks competing, but nobody offers 80% of what you paid 2 years later as a trade in, because they simply aren't worth it.
Not saying you're lying, I just don't see the logic, feel like I'm missing something.
Yeah I figured that out by pretending to buy one on the at&t site. They eat the cost of the phone because in the US the network fees are mental from what I could tell.
Jesus I just set up an iPhone 15 purchase with at&t claiming to trade in your phone and yeah it's $1000 trade in. However I couldn't work out why it was a final price of 0 so I kept going, the actual network plans are fucking insane prices so I guess that's where they make their money back. In the UK I pay £20 a month for a Samsung s22 and £20 a month for 200gb data and unlimited calls/texts. The equivalent of about $50 a month total without even trading in my old phone.
I was feeling hard done by until I got to the network plans, fuck me.
