If you think assembly is the only cost of production a business faces, especially a global one, you're very very wrong.

Getting Apple products to market is not just the variable cost of production but the incredible amount of fixed costs and R&D investment that went into having the product as we do today.

Are they overcharging? Depends, it's not like you require it to live, only to grow as an individual in the corporate world. Compare to real necessities like food prices, items with a very low markup - production costs are everything.

Look at small business - cost is everything. Cash flow, wages and rent are so important and directly impact the price of their product.

A cost doesn't have to be variable to impact the price of a commodity.

$80 per disabled person per day is a cost and one that only encourages greater cost should word get out it's occurring.

Where did I say I thought that assembly was the only cost of production? I ran multiple successful businesses, of course I know that assembly is only one part of production cost. PROFIT is after you take out all of your expenses and you do not become the most profitable company in the US by using that as the primary determination of selling price. No, their selling price is extravagantly marked up is why they became most profitable company in the US, even though their sales are not better than many other companies, their profits ARE due to markup. In addition, no, you do not need apple products to grow in a corporate environment, you can use other companies products and grow just as well. I have not only " looked at small business" I have run them, good marketing is much more important than production costs, as with the right marketing, people are willing to pay much more for your products, even when the competition sells them for much less.

If they are charging a handicapped person $80 a day for transportation, there is something very wrong, as it should not cost anywhere near that. Here, even in the reddest of red " government should pay for nothing state" of Texas, there is a free transport for disabled and elderly service EVEN in cities that do not offer public transport of any kind to everyone else.
