Neven Mrgan: Commoditize your complements
here are some other ways Apple makes money:
- Share of wireless carriers’ plan fees
Unrelated to the conversation at hand, but it’s something I’ve seen mentioned several times, by several different people, over the past month or two. Do we know that Apple still gets any share of carrier revenue? From the original iPhone launch, I was under the impression that this revenue sharing agreement was not only unprecedented, but also contingent upon Apple’s exclusivity deal with AT&T in the US. Which has, of course, expired.
I’d certainly like to know if my understanding is wrong.
