Apple’s iPhone skim: how much?

ZDNet blog Between the Lines has an interesting story on research notes from a financial analyst on how much AT&T is paying Apple for iPhone customers. The analyst believes that AT&T is paying Apple $3 per iPhone customer each month, and perhaps just as significantly, $8 per month for customers new to AT&T who buy an iPhone. Considering estimates have said 700,000 iPhones sold within a few days of launch, that’s a pretty decent monthly take.
