HTC paying Apple an “outrageous” $8 per phone


Well it finally is an open secret - the Apple-HTC deal requires of HTC to pay $8 per phone - and God knows how many million apple phones are there in the world. 


To be specific, Neil Hughes at AppleInsider writes:

"HTC is expected to give Apple a net licensing fee of as much as $8 per phone, and may also serve as a blueprint for future deals with Samsung and Motorola."

Neil Hughe cited analysts who spoke with "industry sources" who said the Apple-HTC deal will result in a net licensing fee of between $6 and $8. That's compared to press reports that HTC is paying Microsoft $5 per phone.
