My understanding is that Apple's contracts only require that they can't be undersold by a competitor.
It is likely that the publisher still sets the price on the Apple platform, but it looks to me like Amazon is setting the prices for Riordan's books. Presumably (and assuming someone's paying attention), if Amazon cuts the price then Apple will match them.
