Apple has a very lucrative business where they have a sizable legion of followers who will spend almost any amount of money to own their products. They don't really need new customers, and aren't likely to convert many with traditional advertising tactics, so they just have to sit back and continue iterating on what they have to get existing customers to keep coming back for newer stuff. Basically, their business is all about draining money from their existing userbase, not expanding it.
