Foxconn does it. If their profit margins decrease substantially, then Apple will pay for it (and thus the consumer).
Apple making a lot of profit on one flagship product doesn't mean a whole lot. That subsidizes R&D for new products / current, smaller product lines, etc., as well.
They're not going to lose 10% profit margin (and thus stock price) just for shits and giggles.
Also, their effective tax rate is already far below 15%. Like I said, that's irrelevant.
