I believe the upgraded model is 149, which is actually, I think, cheaper than the AirPods 4 with ANC.

Yeah.

Uh, which I think is very uh impressive and I think quite aggressive in the market.

I feel like Apple does not necessarily always play by the same rules as other companies.

But, you know, this is a market where you can get, I think, a beautiful pair of, you know, nothing earbuds that have ANC for, you know, under $100.

The AirPods look quite reasonable in comparison.

And I I don't know uh about you both, but on the subway every single morning, I see people with, you know, a colorful array of Earbuds designs.

And I think the AirPods are certainly um

you know, far and away the majority, but i I don't I don't think the market is exclusively theirs.

And it does seem like it's a space that's price sensitive.

Um so none of those none of those upgrades uh still are going to sell you like Cam, I think you cover deals very closely.

I'm curious your thoughts on the positioning here.

Do these AirPods, you know?

feel like they are positioned to take down uh the rest of that market or or is this Apple still just like kind of living in its own world here?

way to go.

Well, you bring up a really good point, which is I think when it comes to the iPhone, the price is the price.

Like you're gonna pay that price.

You can pay it in different ways, you can pay it in installations, but like you're gonna pay that price.

And when it comes to the AirPods, I it's the very rare Apple product where the price is totally fake.

If you buy it from Apple.com, that's what you pay.
