As someone said, if you’re already an iPhone customer with AT&T, you won’t have to change your rates. You’ll be charged the same amount, only new users will have to pay more.

it doesn’t matter
the iPhone is all about iTunes!
they want to sell you music. videos, games, apps, etc…
that’s where the REAL money is made by Apple

“AT&T (T) is paying a subsidy of $325 for the new Apple (AAPL) iPhone 3G, according to Oppenheimer analyst Yair Reiner… Reiner also says that AT&T is paying Apple an extra $100 for subscribers signed up in Apple stores, for a total commission of $425. Reiner figures that all in, Apple is gettign the same revenue for the 3G iPhone as it received for the old version, only now all the payments are coming up front.”

Materials and manufacturing do cost $173 but the cellular companies pay about $300 for each iphone. So apple gets good profits.

“materials and manufacturing cost is $173.” What kind of drugs are these people on? These phones don’t cost a cent more than $35 to manufacturer. Advertising might add another $10 to that.

Apple will soon make their money when they sell it in europe. Prob be 300-400 euros (£250-£350) then their $26 will jump to about $400/$500 profit per phone…
