Every all the way from, you know, iPhone 17E um all the way up.
But bear in mind as well, phones are just getting more expensive anyway.
Well
They've put the prices up right across the board.
I'll tell you,
Absolutely.
Ramageddon, um, you know, this massive uh increase in the cost of memory, but also some of the supply issues that Apple have been having on the um the the processor that goes in the device as well because everyone's competing for um that capacity in the fabs that make these chips and in the old days everyone danced to Apple's tune, but now it's the big hyperscalers building these data centers who are consuming all the memory.
And are prepared to pay a massive premium for it, and the smartphone makers are getting squeezed.
Apple's only redemption in all this is because their devices are significantly more expensive than the run-of-the-mill low-end Android, the proportion of the total what they call bill of materials for the memory is slightly smaller.
But they're not immune.
And as you say, we've seen the prices go up everywhere.
So it's another reason to love Air.
do you see that happening now?
I'll go back to my previous comment.
I consider this to be a relative small niche in the overall smartphone space.
But the market hasn't really done much uh in the last eighteen months to two years.
And I do believe the arrival of the iPhone Duo will reignite some interest in the folder board.
See what
phone?
It's got an Apple esque feel to it.
