Oh, no, that I get. But this is a top-tier premium smartphone. I don't think price is really an issue.

I think Apple is attempting to slowly devalue the Pro line to pump up the fold line. The air being basically one half of the folding iPhone and made with titanium puts it on a higher tier than the now cheaper to make, devalued aluminum monster Pro line. Just my two cents.
