The customer is now getting the subsidy, whereas Apple got the revenue sharing. Assuming Apple is selling the hardware for the same price they are receiving far less revenue from each sale with the loss the revenue share arrangement.

This is true, but it has to be rememberd that probably half of the iPhones that were sold were unlocked....and Apple wasnt receiving a dime beyond the initial purchase price.

I think if that is taken into account that Apple's average will be in the same neighborhood.
