While you pay just $99.99 USD initially, you then move forward with $20 payments for 24 months. Then your costs for data, voice, and text are separate (but still integrated into one bill in the end). Here's the real breakdown, step by step.

Apple’s War Chest, Samsung plastic, and HTC One supply
The influence and cash flow Apple has right this minute may be squarely to blame for both Samsung‘s continued use of plastic to construct the GALAXY S 4 and HTC‘s trouble getting supply line at full speed for the HTC One. When you consider the vast number of products Apple creates that use large amounts of aluminum, you’ll find that the company is really rather invested in keeping their supply of this building block in order. When you consider the must-win situation HTC has with their new HTC One device, you’ll know how nervous they must be if their rumored supplier status downgrade is, indeed, a reality.

Meanwhile, Samsung faces more difficulties persuading existing owners to replace their handset with another Samsung, the research group claims, compared to Apple loyalty.

If you've seen the Samsung GALAXY S 4 and have decided that you're not all about it, feeling more like an iPhone 5 this upcoming summer, you may be in some budget-friendly luck. A next-generation slightly less expensive model of the iPhone 5 has been predicted by the historically surprisingly accurate analyst prediction skills of Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, complete with 4-inch Retina display. This device has, according to Kuo, been on the books since 2011, before the iPhone 5 was even shown for the first time.
