It’s shell also is more premium right ? so I can see the extra manufacturing costs but unless it’s going to act like a faraday cage 😅 I also am not a fan of the price point ✌️

When I see a 2x price increase, I kinda expect significant functionality improvements. This has a jazzy case and a bigger screen. So why not just get the $79 model?
The thing I was thought in marketing was to provide multiple options, just to make the obvious choice more appealing so for a value based proposition the 79$ is perfect, if you have some more dough and would like the premium feel the new and shiny one makes sense. But totally agree the base model is totally fine 🔥
