If you sign a contract, you are not getting a phone for cheap or free or $29- you are merely paying it off at credit card rates over the life of your fixed two year contract. It is embedded in the price.
And if you advocate cheap phones because they wont break, well there is something caled insurance. And you are making an argument against ALL phones that are not "cheap", it is nothing to do with the Apple phone specifically, so why bring it up in this context? Makes no sense either. I could bring up arguments against radiation too - still applies to all phones nothing specific to Apple phone.
