You might want to read the article. You
are plopping down $750, and generally more, because the intentionally confusing way the contracts are written.
For example:

So, with a contract, you pay Verizon $300 up front for a 64 GB iPhone 6 and then pay $40 per month for two years, adding $960. And to add insult to injury, Verizon will charge you $30 to upgrade your phone at the end of the contract, for a total of $1,290.

That phone, if you just bought it, would be $750.
