Apple sold 10-15 million of the minis each year, with a marketing budget of approximately zero.
The problem is that everyone believed Tim Cook when he claimed that this is a failure.

How much did it cost Apple to make those minis? Do we know?

I surely don’t. But if it wasn’t profitable, then Apple sucks at supply chain management (which is something I don’t believe).

It even can be profitable but not worth the opportunity cost: spending the resources on other things could be
more
profitable.
