Baking the base models on to ROM makes a lot of economic sense.

Less so for consumers though, because it'd mean the phone is out of date in 3 months when a better model comes along.

It's a perfect reason to get consumers to buy a new phone every year again! They got bored of the camera.

And the customers can wait for the new phone released next year. These are edge models - the average customer doesn’t need the latest frontier model. Just needs to be good enough for the features you promised.

That's a software engineering problem. They just need to figure out how to fine-tune for alignment and tool usage.

That's the only thing the normie consumer cares for really.
