Oh okay. Neat? I guess it could be a bit smaller, but whatever works the best for them

The OLED mode box is already a good chunk smaller (looks sleek!).
I wonder how reducing packaging helps with supply issues? Supply as in getting goods to customers (less packaging, more units per truck)?

Sort of like the Oled model package? I think the package for that is smaller.
