iPhone Increases Average Mobile Phone Bill Costs by 24%

Rubicon Consulting’s report, entitled The Apple iPhone: Successes and Challenges for the Mobile Industry informs that iPhone’s have increased the average mobile phone bill by 24%; which equates to an increase of $228 a year!

I don’t know about you, but if you ask me, that is quite the jump in phone bill costs. I must admit, AT&T is quite lucky in being the sole provider of iPhones… but will Apple stick with them?

These rises in phone bill costs isn’t cool. iPhone Matters presumes that Apple may be thinking about finding another mobile service provider when launching the iPhone 3G (second generation). Although I do think this is very unlikely, it would be a pretty darn decent idea on Apple’s part. These costs are ridiculous, but then again, it’s probably all the mobile web browsing that iPhone users are doing on those huge touch screens that are raising the costs of the average iPhone bill.
