I guess that's the difference we're talking about here:
PC makers' diverse offerings force them to buy components that are cheap while Apple buys whatever components they want but get them even cheaper due to scale.
The kicker is that at the same time Apple makes that component it's buying even more expensive for everyone else and they know everyone else is copying them.
