You know, they haven't really invented anything great in a while. It's like Steve Jobs invented the iPhone and now they're just kind of sitting on it 20 years later and they actually, I think year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. I think like the sales might actually be declining. And part of it is that each generation it doesn't actually get that much better. So people are just taking longer to upgrade than they would before. So then number of sales, I think, has generally been flat to declining. So how are they making more money as a company?

You know, they build stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've just thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone in the same way. So, I mean, there are a lot of other companies in the world that would be able to build, like, a very good earbud, but it just. Apple has a specific protocol that they've built into the iPhone.
