They do but it's more like $20-30/mo here for the brand new fancy phones and it isn't a "discount" so much as just financing and you end up paying more than the total retail value of the phone by the time your contract is up most of the time.

Like T-Mobile is doing +$27.09/mo for 24 months for the iPhone 7, which ends up being what the retail cost is ($650) BUT you have to have great credit AND you have to be trading in an iPhone 6 or 6s (worth *at least* $100 if you sell it on your own) and they also tack a $20 one time fee just because gently caress you SIM card fee.

So really it's just another punishment for those who NEED to have the latest crap but are too poor to buy it outright.

You have it wrong. T-mobile is offering a free iPhone 7 if you trade in a 6 or 6s. You don't have to trade in anything for the $27.09/mo deal, that's just paying off the phone over 2 years at full price.
