What? The non-pro model is $799

The pro model is $999

the iphone 15 starts at 799.

$800 before tax or accessories.

Out the door... Minimum $900 bucks where I live. That feels close enough to a grand that trying to explain away usb 2 speeds with "But it's a budget phone!" is pretty disingenuous.

And out the door where I live they are free (or will be in a few months) if you switch cell carriers and trade in your old phone.

> if you switch cell carriers and trade in your old phone.

Soooo absolutely not free?

Not 100% free, but a pretty low cost. If you were planning on switching carriers anyway for lower "new customer" rates and don't have a use for your old phone it is free.

nobody is calling an iphone a budget phone. adding tax and optional accessories to call this a $1k phone is disingenuous
