I'm sorry.
podcast-host
Well, apparently they've got still got enough weight to throw around for some vendors.
podcast-host
I guess the vendors that are not flush with cash from the huge RAM prices.
podcast-host
But uh uh I I would do wonder how much that's going to offset the uh what they have to pay for the other components.
podcast-host
We'll see.
podcast-host
I mean the rumors still say that the uh eighteen pro and pro max, which I remember are the only uh that and the the foldable, whatever, are the ones that are coming out in September and the plain eighteen, the rumors say
podcast-host
Say uh is not coming out in September.
podcast-host
So anyway, for the high end phones that are coming out in September, I guess I forget if the uh
podcast-host
Air two is in that group.
podcast-host
Uh the rumor is that they're gonna be more expensive.
podcast-host
Like the phones are gonna be more expensive.
podcast-host
So maybe this is just getting a cheaper price on displays is just enough to only have to raise the price two hundred dollars instead of two hundred and fifty.
podcast-host
It's gonna be rough.
podcast-host
Yeah, that we were talking about this before, like people complaining, oh, they raised the prices on all their stuff, but have they raised trade-in values?
podcast-host
No, well now they have.
podcast-host
But I look at the percentages, and remember when we read the percentages of how much the prices of the stuff was increasing?
podcast-host
I know it was not apples to apples because the watches weren't included in that price increase or whatever, but uh as you might expect, the trade-ins are increasing by a lower percentage, not just a lower amount, because obviously trade-ins you get less money than a new device, but a lower percentage.
podcast-host
percentage than a lot of their sibling devices incre and and you know we're reading like iphone 16 pro trading values not necessarily iPhone 17 pro but anyway see the 95 Mac story for the full table but
podcast-host
Uh the news is basically it's good that Apple is finally increasing the trade in value because that's what the market is dictating for these devices.
podcast-host
But it's bad for all of us that the trade in values are increasing by less than the new device prices are increasing.
