I think it’s that expensive, because it is really hard to mass produce and so they want to reduce number of sales needed while still get the project costs back. If there one thing that apple has mastered, it is the calculation of expected number of sales depending on price. They will adjust margin accordingly and will never gift you anything. That is why the price is so high, they know there will be few buyer, but those who buy whatever they ask.
