if the iPhone costs more the sweat shop worker can't afford it.

Chances are, that sweatshop worker probably doesn't have the newest iPhone. They would probably have a used copy or a bootleg.

Furthermore, beyond a certain price point, the iPhone doesn't get produced at all.

This would only happen if everyone was a sweatshop worker. If the iPhone was a few hundred dollars more, there would still be people willing to buy.
