Rumors that Apple is wearing the pants a little too often in their iPhone relationship with AT&T have received a boost, now that the wireless carrier seems to have stopped promoting the pricey phone on their main page barely a month after its June 29th launch. While we know that Apple negotiated an unprecedented deal for a percentage of every iPhone customer’s monthly contract, many suspect AT&T is becoming less and less happy with the rest of Apple’s plans. Note, for example, the iPhone’s lack of any integration with AT&T’s profitable video, audio and ringtone offerings – all things that Apple either sells through their iTunes Store right now or, in the case of ringtones, is widely expected to with a future software update. The more software and media-based services Apple prepares to unleash, the more monthly, revolving revenue passes by AT&T’s bottom line. |
