Apple doesn't pay anywhere near full retail.



Sure, but if Apple saves $100 in material costs, this means something like $200 less on the list price. The build and parts costs are usually less then half of the sales price.


The quoted price is not retail, it is volume pricing at 1,000 units for direct customers.
