People close to Apple and AT&T told TheStreet.com that AT&T is paying Apple a bounty of between US$150 and $200 per phone—plus $9 a month per phone over the life of the typical two-year customer contract.
AT&T didn’t comment, and Apple said it would have no comment. However, TheStreet.com says that the figures show Apple is getting an unprecedented windfall on the sale of each new communications device. “It’s a pretty sweet deal for Apple, and not all that bad for AT&T,” says IAG Research’s Roger Entner.
AT&T agreed to a five-year exclusive pact to sell the iPhone. “Wall Street knew Apple was getting a good deal, but it didn’t know just how good it was,” opines TheStreet.com.
