That is standard business for any product,
Intel, Samsung; making of cpu's and LCD screens, as well as cars and other manufacturing, they charge extra to get production ramped up.
As production goes on, they find ways to run more economical, and parts decrease in price, so the device can be sold cheaper.
It has hardly anything to do with business schemes, it's what nearly every company does to get a business started (save perhaps for sony and Nintendo, who make a loss on their product, only to make marginal profits at the end of it's life cycle.
