I'd say that 90% of Americans purchase their cellphone on a Carrier Payment Plan. It's the most affordable way to do it. And usually they also trade their old phone in for some money to get their new phone for less. And with chronic iPhone users, they usually get like, 800 dollars or so for trading their last Gen iPhone in, so they never actually pay full price for their shiny new iPhone.
It’s fun to make up stats in your head.
