What BBN said about it

  1. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe iPhone Duo goes on sale tomorrow at two thousand dollars. Samsung's wide foldable debuted at nineteen hundred. Is that your pricing policy?

  2. Governor Tobias Marchetti-VaneYes. A hundred dollars is a gap I personally closed, on the first of October, with this pen, in a ceremony.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentGovernor, you'd get a better ending by agreeing with the people crediting Apple.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSamsung won't say Apple, and you won't say nothing happened. Sir, you two should share a post.
