It blows my mind that a Pi is a significant portion of the cost of it.

And the Pi doesn't even come with a monitor, keyboard, speakers, or power supply!

I’d bet a lot that the Neo has a better SSD in it too.

Having a SSD certainly is better than no SSD.

The Pi isnt a loss leader for user acquisition nor do they get to enjoy Apples economy of scale. Apple can take a small loss on this and it will still be worth it if they retain the users in their ecosystem.

Is there any evidence that’s the case? They always had massively bigger margins than all other PC manufacturers so it’s unlikely they are selling it at a loss even if’s significantly reduced

I mean, it's Apple we're talking about. Selling at margins <50% can probably be considered "at a loss"
