There is only one way to calculate true costs, and that's to add them up.

Take a look at the thread I referenced where AppleCare pushes up the cost
of the iPhone to the point that you pay double the original price.

Unless you trade that iPhone in after four years of paying for AppleCare.

Then you only paid 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 the price of the iPhone since you get
about 1/2 the price back on the original price paid for the iPhone.

It's why the most expensive phone to own is always going to be an iPhone.
