Jordan Metzner [21:54]: Okay. Cool. Yeah. So just a few other small things. I read today that Apple decided to deprioritize a smaller Apple Vision Pro in favor of AI glasses like Meta. And I think we talked about the Meta glasses just a few weeks ago. I have not tried the Vision Pro. I think, like, overall people have had pretty bad reviews of it. But it does seem like kind of these glasses are coming to be the new form factor coming through with the Meta Glasses. And then, if Apple 's able to launch some glasses as well as, OpenAI obviously acquired Jony Ive's company, and maybe they're working on some glasses as well. So I just think this is kind of like the convergence of hardware and software to the point where you have kind of AI, on you at all times. And I think, you see all these major labs kinda competing for what does that mean to be on you at all times. Is that the phone? Is that glasses? Is that a pen?
Jordan Metzner [22:45]: What does that look like?
Sam Nadler [22:46]: Yeah. I'm actually really excited about this. I know Vision Pro is a bit of a flop, but I think, Apple's so good at hardware, whereas Facebook historically, is obviously more software oriented, even though they have the Oculus. But, yeah, I think this is gonna be really interesting. I think it comes out in 2027, so, about a year and a half away. And let's let's see, what they create. But, yeah, I was excited to see this. I've never used the Vision Pro outside of the Apple Store. It seems like a little bit too big, too much. So let's see maybe what a little refined vision feels like with, obviously powered by AI and augmented reality and all the other features.
Jordan Metzner [23:32]: Yeah. And I know, the market's been down on Apple because they've done a poor job of adopting, AI into the ecosystem. But I think, as you and I can attest to, seems like the Apple 17 phones are sold out pretty much across the country for days and days. I mean, every time a store gets a new stock, they're sold out. He had a friend trying to obtain one, it was almost impossible to get it at any store. So, even though we're seeing kind of this, Apple not so great at AI stuff, it sure seems like consumers, have a insatiable demand about the devices.
Sam Nadler [24:02]: Alright. Well, anything else or time to wrap up?
