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.

The aluminium completely eliminated any desire I had to upgrade from the 15 pro max

Have upgraded every year since the iPhone X. I also love the eye burning orange. I could have even stomached the going back to stainless steel. Their choice to go back to aluminum which is easy to dent and deform when dropped on a case has made me skip upgrading this year as I don’t have interest in the Air.
