Ever wonder what the iPhone will really cost? I decided to pull my accounting suit out of the closet (man it was dusty) and give it a shot. $599 for the device is just only the beginning. I still don%26#39;t believe the average American can afford this device, no matter how great the majority of bloggers believe it is. You have to factor in things like a phone plan, data plan, text messaging plan, etc.



So let%26#39;s take a look at the math.



$640 Phone - $599 plus tax (~8%)



$60/mo Voice Plan - cheapest plan with unlimited nights and weekends



$40/mo MEdia Max 3000 Bundle - includes 3000 texts and unlimited MediaNet which I assume will work as the browse function on the iPhone $8/mo Fees - lovely fees



So doing the math, and looking at a year of usage on this device, the total comes to:$1,936.00



Answer:

I%26#39;m not sure, but i heard the data plans are going to be expensive, so i would say +40. Then the voice is around 60...then text! It%26#39;s going to cost a lot of this phone
