New electronics always carry a premium, drop in price slowly until a next release.
There's not enough for everyone to get one - new electronics always carry a premium and not just in the PC market. Newest tools? Not a premium market.
Asians (South Korea Samsung) make the OLED screen and have hit Apple with a stiff premium to help South Korean Samsung to sell linux based androids to kill Apple (note: foreigner key/encryption controlled, stolen code, malware, usa chip support intently removed). That's the going news. Apple has expressed interest. Note asians are saying "not fair, intel dominates cpu so we should have this market". However: asians have made deals with foreigners to attack USA softwares and linux, used Intel / Motorola / Spark plans to make ARM, and copied Intel's inner factory works so to make competing chips. They are quite willing to DUMP these on the market to kill off Intel, quite willing to make agreements with distrubutors to keep Intel carrying PC out of stores: except they are not in a position to do so. Not yet. They will be if Intel or USA sleeps on their rights for EVEN A SINGLE PRODUCT CYCLE.
Again: Apple says they want OLED built in USA now, because it's obvious asians will not sell them at the same price to whites as they will to asians to hurt USA production. They need USA in failing state to cover up the trillions they went into "global debt" for building the factories they didn't pay forward and other countries lost the opportunity on (had no money to build factories because asia had manipulated loans to get them all built in asia).
Meanwhile: perhaps Apple MAY HAVE slowed (or rather not upgraded) production numbers. That would be a good idea in a market getting saturated with the fact "many people have an iPhone they are happy with". If others payed for an onslaught of high number low quality production they will be sadly surprised: people don't want that. They got good phones that do all they need: and don't like re-shopping their phone frequently.
It could be "Apple things they can get away with a song and a story and bilk suckers". But I like to think they are not that shallow or lame. And after all Apples PC's have DROPPED IN PRICE and ARE CHEAPER THAN ASIAN LADEN/MADE PC*)
(dell, HP, acer, lenovo, surface, so many other: all the other creep companies relabeling asian products and claiming they do fabless design who don't design shit - and are newly incompatible with each other every product cycle - because asians demand it. dell? yes look on the board: made in malaysia)
A few other nuggets: it could be apple is not steering people to upgrade now, and picking up cash needed to build their own OLED facility in USA: for reason of making a "much more favored" release in the future (storing energy for a big release in the future).

Another way to look at it:
Look your holding a new iPhone 7 for a better price, iPhone 8 already retail, if you now want an iPhone 10 instead (their is no 9), your gonna pay $200 premium - because you already have a kick ass phone at a lower price that Apple needs to sell / get off their shelf.
