Sounds a lot like their old iTunes model.
Except they didn't make money on iTunes for the first few years. They ran it near cost as a service to help sell iPods, where they actually made the money. This iPhone is way cheaper than iPods were in those days, despite having far more complicated technology in them.
So if the money isn't in the store, and isn't in the hardware...
