Yeah it's pretty dumb. Not only that but they bumped the price of the data plan up from $20 to $30 since the last iPhone model. I think they did it to compensate for the low price point that the phone is offered at. With a 2 year contract you end up paying $240 more for the data plan which I believe Apple gets a cut of.
