With no official news from Apple some people have started to wonder what are the productions costs of the 3G iPhone. Others have started to estimate how much AT&T is paying for every iPhone sold. So far it is rumored that every single new iPhone costs about $100 to make while every one of those handsets will rake in up to $425 for Apple from their carrier partners in the US.
The bill of costs for the earlier model came up to $170. It would be logical for Apple to lower costs for the 3G iPhone as their plan is selling it for less. Is it really selling it for less? I guess that carriers will simply chip in more on this model.
It has been reported (read rumored) that AT&T will pay $325 for every sold iPhone with an extra $100 if the phone was purchased in an Apple store. So what would international carriers pay?
I don’t know if all these numbers are anywhere near the true figures but I do know that Apple is good at selling stuff. Just look at their iTunes store and iPod lines. Why not make more moneys (it’s not a typo, just me trying to emphasize on how much money we’re talking about) from the iPhone sales?
At this rate, the Copy-Paste iPhone will cost $50 to make, Apple is going to receive up to $550 subsidy and it will sell for $129.95 (the 4GB version) with a 42 months AT&T, Verizon and Sprint contract.
