If I remember correctly, iPhone came out when most featured phone is either free with a contract or less than 50 bucks.

You can get everything for free with contracts. High end smartphones of the time were about 20-30% off iPhone retail price.

Either way, comparison with smartphones is totally irrelevant.

And you don't "own" it if it's carrier locked (wait out your contract)
