I wonder if they're losing money on the actual units to get more people into the ecosystem?

I don't think so.

For most people in the Apple ecosystem, the iPhone is central and the Neo is another useful (but secondary) companion device. Not unlike the Watch and Airpods.

Leaving money on the table, as opposed to losing it. They make a decent buck on the hardware, but could have charged more (though likely would have sold fewer units).
no chance
actually i am thankful that microslop is losing more than apple. They could've made better OS than macos by not adding candy crush or copilot slop.
