As someone from Europe, I would rather buy a prepaid SIM card and cash out a couple of hundreds of Euros once for a phone, than be tied to a specific carrier with a contract.

Exactly. Frequently it works out several hundred euros cheaper over 24 months to buy an unlocked phone and go SIM-only.

Not that I'm planning to upgrade my iPhone SE until flagship phones stop being the size of a paperback book.
