And isn't that how it works out eventually? Carriers sell their souls to Apple and in turn, the consumers sell their souls to the carrier in order to get the "iconic" iPhone.
The postpaid plans are overpriced simply because the carriers include the cost of phone subsidies in the monthly tariffs. If phone exclusivity deals weren't part of the picture, then you're more likely to see carriers competing on price and quality of service. This isn't capitalism - it's an oligopoly.
