I think in Britain people can just buy a SIM card from a wireless company for a relatively low rate and use it in their already-owned phone. They get a low wireless rate cost because their phone is not subsidized.

Maybe there's an opportunity for an iPhone leasing company. Something like leasing a car. Lease an unlocked iPhone from someone and use it on a wireless company of your choice and have more flexibility in switching. Upgrade to a new iPhone whenever you want, subject to your deal with the leasing company. People might get a better "trade-in" value from their old iPhone and it would be less hassle than selling it themselves.
