Lunde hatte den Grund dafür weiter oben schon mal zu erklären versucht. > Lagerhaltung vom ersten Tag des Geräteerscheinens an. Ein Nichtverfügbarkeit oder nicht ausreichendes Auf-Vorrat-haben würde ja ebenfalls eine Meuterei mit sich bringen.
"Lagerhaltung"?
Auf welchem Planeten lebt ihr denn, sowas gibt es heutzutage nicht mehr.

"As a result, Apple's inventory, measured by the amount of time it sat on the company's balance sheet, quickly fell from months to days. Inventory, Cook has said, is "fundamentally evil," and he has been known to observe that it declines in value by 1% to 2% a week in normal times, faster in tough times like the present.
"You kind of want to manage it like you're in the dairy business," he has said. "If it gets past its freshness date, you have a problem." This logistical discipline has given Apple inventory management comparable with Dell's, then as now the gold standard for computer-manufacturing efficiency.
Weiter unten steht dann auch die ganz simple und einfache Antwort, warum Apple so hohe Preise für RAM verlangt:
"Think of Cook's contribution like this. There are two basic ways to get great profit margins: Charge high prices or reduce costs. Apple does both. The marketing and design drive consumers wild with desire and make them willing to pay a premium; Cook's operational savvy keeps costs under control. Thus Apple is a cash-generating machine. Cook has called the company a place that is "entrepreneurial in its nature but with the mother of all balance sheets." At last count that meant $24.5 billion in cash and no debt."
Solange sich Dumme finden die es einkaufen, why change.
