+• The speaker plays a hand of poker on their phone while simultaneously playing another game, and finds the experience to be awkward.
+• They discuss how even with expensive devices, users may still have a bad experience due to manufacturers only being able to support popular features.
+• The speaker explains that manufacturers prioritize supporting popular products over niche ones, citing an example where a manufacturer selling 100,000 units would struggle to provide updates for a product selling only 1,000 units.

+• Comparison between high-end users who are often "fanatics" and mainstream users who value their dollar and expect good value for their purchase
+• The discussion is about how technology has advanced in recent years, making previous high-end purchases seem less future-proof.
+• A person who bought a $5960x (extreme edition) processor three years ago may only get another year or two out of their system due to upcoming games requiring more cores.

+• Google was found to be acting monopolistically and was ordered to unbundle its services, including the Play Store, Chrome, and Google Search.
+• Android phone manufacturers are now required to offer users options to install alternative browsers and search engines.
+• Google still has to make money from these services, so it charges a licensing fee, which costs up to $40 per device.
+• This is based on how much Apple was paying Samsung for the iPhone's OLED screen, with a bill of materials cost in the neighborhood of $250-$350.
+• The cost of bringing a device to market includes various costs, such as advertising
+• $40 has the potential to increase a phone's cost by up to 20% due to its contribution to marketing and other costs
+• Phone prices vary depending on country in the EU, with three tiers: highest fees from UK, Sweden, Germany, Norway, and Netherlands; moderate fees for devices under 500 PPI; and lowest fees for devices under 400 PPI
