Who is getting rich off the iPhone?

Here’s an awesome info graphic by GigaOM which shows how much everyone is earning off the iPhone. If you thought that it’s just Apple, you’ve been wrong the whole time. AT&T isn’t in the deal with Apple just for nothing.

And for those who always wondered, the 16GB iPhone 3G S costs just $178.96 to make and is advertised for $199 ( contract charges not included ). This price doesn’t include the data plan revenue on top of it that AT&T earns from a 2 year contract, which costs around $720.

No wonder Steve Jobs and Apple are enjoying the recession.
