Add in a $200 subsidy from AT&T... That' $370 minimum gross for apple on each IPHONE sold... or over a 50% profit margin.. how's that LOSING MONEY??? You really think they'll sell the IPHONE to China.. cheaper than they sell it to AT&T??? stupid article. do some research first.

They want to make it the iPod of phones...sounds like clever business to me.

He will not do it just for prestige purposes. He is Scotch. There's just no way at all that's going to happen. Analysts are showing Apple making all sorts of profit on their new deals with AT&T which does not have a revenue sharing deal any more.

The author gives no reason as to why Apple will lose money. it just doesn't make sense. Apparently the author does not know what he/she is talking about.
