Do Rogers/Bell/Telus make anything off the sale of phones?
For example, the iPhone 13 (128GB) is priced at $1130 from Rogers/Bell/Telus (or $47.08/month in 24 equal payments... same difference).
Meanwhile, the price is $30 cheaper directly at Apple ($1099 or $45.79/month). Is this $30 mark up the telecom company's profit? Or taking advantage of the convenience of adding it to the same bill?
Or would they be getting these phones in bulk for considerably cheaper, like $800 each? Anyone have an idea?
