Apple gets payment when people buy their phones, are you suggesting that the cost of those things are not built into that cost? Especially considering how much they make on certain things such as storage increases?

People keep their phones for multiple years and Apple supports the phone with iOS operating system and security patches for 7+ years.
That can be true and also be paid for by the cost of the phone.
Would you write software, sell it to someone and promise support for 7 years?
