Time. There was one time when a 65” 1080p tv would set you back $10k. Now those are Black Friday giveaways for test driving a car. By manufacturing the first units Apple can get the manufacturing time to mature on the exact specs they want which will lower costs.

Just look at the iPhone SE, it is so cheap because all of the hard work was done years ago and it’s just swapping out a chip every few years.
