You overestimate the amount of mental energy people are willing to spend to figure out what the “right” streaming service will be for that month.
The news here is probably more about the decline in aircraft ticket prices than some surprising change in India iPhone costs.
it help fill the customer acquisition funnel, which drives revenue for other products. The product is effectively marketing expense.

You can load one of those puppies up with 22 air to air missiles, have a forward F-35 pass along target information, and light them up from the F-15. One team. F-15 is a missile truck that can go Mach 2.2.

This isn’t about a proposed deal not closing. This is about a proposed deal being reported as such, when in fact there had not ever been deal talks in the first place.

PAC-3 is much more advanced and the kill vehicle much more accurate.
