Depends on all the things you get for $80 per month; it's not just a phone payment, after all. Please don't assume that Europeans aren't shafted on their monthly payments, too.

But especially when you compare non-contract prices, the price rise in Europe compared to the US is outrageous. The prices of no-contract iPhone 5S in the E.U. have just been announced, and sure enough, it's €699 (or $932).

all prices are no-contract

That "gray import" sounds interesting! Savings of around $160 compared to the "regular" (= hugely inflated) price. Care to share a link?
