Genius. Just when the market starts getting saturated with iPhones, Apple dumps a low cost low memory model on the shelves at Walmart, to attract lower income buyers that otherwise wouldn't buy one. Those same buyers are less likely to realize just how much more per month the data plan is going to cost them. So they get the cheap ass smartphone on an impulse buy, and AT&T hooks them for two years on a minimum $80 per month rate plan.

it has nothing to do with low income buyers - the monthly plan is still ridiculously outrages for anyone making 6 figures to afford.
