Based on GE Capital's other relationships/deals, they probably offered the best infrastructure to manage leases of this sort. Therefore, in the interests of increasing share, these types of relations were mutually beneficial.
AAPL still makes a bigger margin on the sale, but GE Capital (or whomever) gets some nice cash over the term of the lease...

For AAPL to ramp up and manage a lease group of this type would be costly and time consuming. Looks like this was the best available choice.
