A sweet iPhone deal with AT&T (T - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) is  
paying off for Apple (AAPL - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) even faster  
than Wall Street expected.
It's well established that the world's most talked-about phone has  
lured thousands of free-spending, lust seeking customers since its  
introduction last month. But the financial terms of the revenue- 
sharing deal have been kept under wraps.
Until now, that is.
People close to the companies tell TheStreet.com that AT&T is paying  
Apple a bounty of between $150 and $200 per phone -- plus $9 a month  
per phone over the life of the typical two-year customer contract.
