>Paying a $400 payment on a 2 year iPhone will look insane as that’s the depreciated value of a 2 year old phone.

Check ebay. That's around the price of a pro series iPhone 2 years old.

That's exactly what I mean.

If you're the person who has leased this phone, you make all your payments and get to the end and your bill to keep the phone forever is going to seem kind of high.

Obviously, that's logical. In your lease, you have only paid the price of depreciation.

Just like with cars leasing is the most expensive way to own them, but I guess there's a certain buyer who doesn't want old stuff.
