You're going to boil it down to the thing that I saw. Not that thick. And separately and importantly, the seam, that crease, it's almost impossible to see it. If you have a certain light, you can barely make it out. And what that means is that this is a device that doesn't feel like a foldable. It feels like just two different phones that you have at once. People are going to consider this, which is a big difference. And I think if you're going to play it forward right now, it's that I think this is probably going to count for 5% of Apple's revenue in fiscal 27
I think before, if you're going to ask me, I would say it's between two and two and a half. So I think it's kind of double what it is. Now it's not, this is not game changing in the sense of it's going to add 30% to revenue, but it definitely is in the positive category when it comes to revenue. And that's what stuck out.

So fun to be here.
Dan Nathan (2:04)
All right, but you know, you and I have done this, I want to say maybe 15 times. We've probably done Fast Money together, maybe a hundred times. I don't know, maybe more over the years. And I don't know why every time with you, man, I just get my radio voice on, but maybe that's just getting us all geeked up a little bit here. You and I had a lot to talk about. I don't think we spoke right after earning season. I can't really remember. And it felt like this tech earning season went on and on and on. I mean, it feels like tonight after the close, we're recording this on Thursday, we have Oracle. I think we also have Adobe, correct? So, you know, like kind of the tag ends a little bit of the software, you know, that we've seen over the last few weeks or so. But I want to talk AAPL Duo. This is the new foldable phone. I want to talk about Metamuse, which Metamuse, this is like Metamuse, that's not a great news. I mean, they didn't give that too much thought there, did they? But, you know, to me, as someone who's not a big Meta fan, I find that really intriguing and we'll talk it through personal agents and the like. I don't know about you, I've been using this instinct for the last few weeks. I think that's really interesting there. Gemini, Dream Beans, have you tracked this thing? It's freaking cool. All right, that's pretty cool.
I want to talk about Tesla, Cyber Cab and what it means for Uber, and then maybe 10% chance we're all going to die because of, AI.
So we'll finish off with that, a really positive note. All right, Gene, we got to do Apple. It really was the duo event, right? I know that you were watching every minute, you were live tweening it, that sort of thing. We were on Fast Money together last night. You and I have gone back and forth for many, many years. Me, from a qualitative standpoint, you from obviously a quantitative standpoint, I asked you one question last night after I gave you my view on what I could see about the phone and what I thought about the phone. This is somebody who's had 15 iPhones, 10 iMacs, every product that I said, not me, not for me. I think it's going to be kind of like one of those douchey things when people pull out, they're going to get made fun of. And I'm a version two or three guy. Okay. You, I said to you, you're buying the stock for this thing? You said, yes. All right. The stock's up 3% in a down day. Good on you.
