- Unlike printers...
-
Apple wants to make money on the hardware and break-even on the apps (as opposed to literally giving away a printer and charging an arm and a leg for the ink).
The apps attract people to the hardware. The apps keep people using the hardware (and upgrading). The App store is Apple's killer app. It means Apple makes money selling product, not software. Maintaining the servers is nothing compared to researching and developing all those apps that use the iPhone HW.
It really is a genius of a way to market.
