What is the downside, of getting a new phone, along with a cell-phone plan ?

And, WHY am I not getting MORE-OFF, of my plan, when I bring my own iPhone ?

Hello Randall Blanchard,

Cost and Warranty are the trade-offs. If you bring your own phone, you are limited to the 1 year and optional extended warranty.

If you buy your phone through the service provider you pay more but have an accidental damage or trade-in program for a replacement for usually one or two hundred Dollars.

Also when you purchase your phone outright you generally get less bloatware (pre-installed apps) from the service provider and your phone is unlocked and can be used with any carrier.
