>>Apple's market appeal is absolutely a factor in a carriers' decision to subsidize the iPhone more heavily than any other phone. Apple's headhunter tax only makes sense if it brings them a customer that they otherwise wouldn't get. If it ever gets to the point where a carrier can attract customers equally well with another phone (say Android or Windows 7), it no longer makes sense to pay more for the iPhone customer.<< Sure. Demand drives pricing at all levels. What I think is that Apple continues to produce products that are very attractive, and that demand will remain high for them. Not forever, but for the next few years. I don't try to look farther out than that. Gets too fuzzy.
