If you remove the hidden subsidies and customers see the price they'll have to pay for the iPhone, Windows phone and Android, the iPhone will lose every time. So either Apple will have to do with lower margins by lowering the price of the iPhone (stock price implodes), or they will lose massive market share and their growth disappears (stock price implodes). No matter how you slice it, the carriers are fighting back from Apple's extortion on their high subsidies. Android and Windows Phone should be the big winners if the subsidies are removed.
