remember this: it's not how much you're saving, it's how much you're spending.
but, but, emily, it's half the price?!
ahhh. yes, that's how it appears.
appears? how do you mean?
did you know that at&t is subsidizing the other $200?
well why would they want to do that?
because the service for an iphone is now $10 more than what it used to be.
what did it used to be?
$20.
so now it's $30???
yep. you do the math.
well i pay $60 a month. and now i'll be paying $90 a month. $30 more times 12 months is $360. wow. that sucks.
ps. receiving an iphone as a gift is totally different :)

before you go drop $200 on an iphone.

Just to play a little devil's advocate... think about how much you were spending before if you bought an iPhone last year.
If last year the plan was $10 less then - using your calculation - people were paying $80 a month. So $20 more time 12 months = $240 PLUS the cost of the phone ($400) = $640.
This year the iPhone plus package costs $560.
So is the new iPhone really half the price? No, it's just $80 cheaper.
Thus, the final conclusion ought to be:
Who the hell is spending more than half a grand on a telephone!?
