OK so total cost of ownership is ALL costs nice. Thank you for confirming that.
So then when you buy a iPhone the cost is whatever you pay down and then the 2 year contract. So if it is then 50 bucks a month for the cell service and you paid 300 down your total cost of ownership on that iphone is 300 plus the 1200 bucks for the contract because you agreed to it.
So then you trade it in. And you get your new phone for (hahahahah) free and then of course a two year contract so now your cost of ownership of that smartphone is 1500 bucks (what you paid for the one you traded in) plus the 1200 buck contact. So your new smartphone now has a total cost to you of 2700 dollars as a cost of ownership.
Is that what you call "Apple Smart"? hahahah
See if you encumber yourself with a contract you can't just say well that is not part of the ownership of the phone.
how is the economics degree working for your there Sparky?
Oh, you get your cell phone service for free. Got it.
You are offended by people are smarter than you, aren't you? People who are educated and know more than you offend you so you have to insult them and denigrate their education. . . and ignore the facts that deny your stupidity, as you ignore the facts that right in front of your face.
You think everybody should do what you do. Sorry the world is not made up of Mad Dawgg's and if everyone were out there competing with you for your "bargains" they wouldn't exist for you. That's the law of supply and demand at work. Again an educated Economist telling how the real world works.
You prefer to be a crude rude skunk, insulting people. Hiding behind a computer, saying things that would get you a broken nose in person. You sir, are a cowardly bully. . . Ignorant and arrogant in your ignorance. I pity you.
