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.

But if you go anywhere else most weeks of the year, you're gonna get some kind of deal on it that I

And because it's an Apple product, you're like, oh man, that's like I feel pretty good about getting this.

So I do think there's a real question here of, you know, is this the AirPods Five's price?

Or is it going down?

Or does this spell the end of some of these deep discounts on the uh AirPods Pro 3?

Um, or does Apple just need to launch an AirPods Pro 5 to get these numbers on the same page?

Because this is this is too much.

I I think it's an interesting strategy.

Um, I I think I'm very glad to see A and C become standard that feels like essential in twenty twenty six.

And at one twenty nine, even if that is the price, I think that's actually it's quite aggressive for Apple, particularly with the set of features that they're offering.

Wireless charging is a bit of a bummer to not have, but I that's actually not not uncommon at earbuds at that price point.

Um, I think those are all the big things.

I'm curious, are there any other highlights that I think we didn't touch on that you guys are like, Jake, Jake, why have we not talked about this?

Or or anything from the from uh the chat that we should we should pull in?
