What? Almost no one rents phones anymore. All smartphones device plans are simple purchase plans.

At least in the US. Maybe it’s different else where?

You’re not wrong that $1000 for a phone is crazy though. I’m still on my iPhone 7+.

It may not be a rental, but $20-30/month monthly installments isn't that different to most people.
