at&t or Apple? Who is getting the better part of this apple&t partnership. Apple is obviously shoveling up money from these iPhones as so many people have failed to resist the temptation that the iPhoneness of Apple’s new product brings to the table. But what is at&t bringing to the table? To tell you the truth, I am surprised that iPhone has been as successful as it’s been in the past few months, and that is certainly not due to at&t but despite of at&t.

at&t certainly seems happy. They have been able to attract and lock up so many customers with the iPhone deal that they are set at least for a while. Considering the fact that at&t is only paying Apple $18 per account per month, one needs to wonder how much profit they are actually making on their bloated and overpriced contracts.

So, basically it seems Apple is getting the better hear. Not only they are making a healthy margin on their iPhones, they are getting close to $20 per account per month from each of at&t customers. But, as ironic as this might seem, at&t is actually better off with this partnership. Not only they can force their terrible service down our throats, they are managing to fool a few people who don’t know any better into believing that they are actually innovators, and they have helped invent or discover (whichever way you want to put it) visual voicemail. That’s called good marketing!
