Where have I contradicted myself? The iPhone (and other high-end smartphones) are less popular in countries where they are purchased unsubsidized. Are you disagreeing with this?

This reads as a contradiction to me, as I've stated. I pointed out that your first comment didn't tell the entire story, and ever since then you've seemingly agreed with me. :-)

In the first statement I was making a comment on the U.S., where iPhone is most popular, in the second I was making a comment on globally, because you brought it up. Both statements are true.
(This by the way was not even my primary point. I can't tell what your primary point is because you've contradicted yourself.)
