... um, what was that device? Remember Microsoft made the Surface Duo? Do you remember that? Um-
Um, you know, it didn't have exactly, uh, the ecosystem that, that certainly Apple has and, and whatnot.
But, um, they-- I remember them playing up how good the hinge was and people talking about how good that hinge was, and I could say like, you know, again, with the Pixel Fold, like the hinge is fine, but it's a little bit hard to open.
I always worried I'm, like, pushing too hard or, or, you know, not applying enough pressure to sort of fully open it.
Um, it's gotten a little bit better over time, and again, the crease has gotten less noticeable, but that's still definitely there on that device.
And so if Apple nailed, you know, that, that hardware element of it, that advanced crease, like it could be a delight to open.
Well, I was gonna say you definitely want to get AppleCare for these devices.
And then it's just like, oh my goodness, there, there's the play right there, right? It's a $2,000 plus phone.
I'm sure it'll be $300, uh, maybe $300 for two years or $400 for two years to get the care package on it, and then services revenue grow right with it.
