Apple makes $831 for every Activated iPhone
Since the launch of the iPhone in the US, there has been a lot of speculation about how much Apple makes for each iPhone that is activated.
According to Mobile Magazine, Apple is making a whopping $831 (about £415) for every activation, which includes the $399 purchase price and Apple also gets a monthly kickback of $18 for every iPhone on the AT&T network.
So over two years thats a pretty decent amount of revenue for a mobile phone, and I suspect that Apple have a similar revenue share in place with O2 for when the iPhone launches over here next month.

Why Facebook is worth $15 Billion
Microsoft’s recent investment of $240 M (£117m) in the popular social networking site Facebook, in exchange for a 1.6% share of the company has put a value on Facebook of $15 billion (£7.3bn).
It may seem like a lot, but when you take into account that Facebook adds 200,000 new users every day it may not be far off the mark.
Microsoft seems to think so, and so did Google who got into a bidding war with Microsoft to invest in Facebook, and according to some analysts it was not just business, this was personal.
I am glad to see that Microsoft got to invest in Facebook and not Google (don’t get me wrong I am no Microsoft fanboy), but the more I hear about what Google, and what they are up to the more I dislike them.
The BBC has a great article on why Facebook is worth $15 billion, called ‘15 reasons Facebook may be worth $15bn’, check it out for the full details.
