This is not how Apple works, unlike FB or Google people stay on their teams for a long, long time.
Based on my knowledge of the company, it's pretty heavily top-down led. That would be my guess on why it's able to execute against its strategy.
But I am not sure it's particularly better at it than other tech giants. My guess for the main reason Apple is so successful is its strategy, not their execution of it: Sell expensive top-class products (even if that means being late to market), and establish strongly walled ecosystems between those products.

Yes, I'm guessing margin is everything for Apple. If they can't make 30-40% on a product then they will leave it for someone else.
I don’t know how Apple is organized internally but if I may be allowed to speculate, I think the way to avoid these ego issues is by moving people around constantly. If you don’t allow any team to establish a “territory” on a particular product, you may be able to get away with it.
