Why

The honest version.

I'm Parithosh — I build things for the web. My daily driver is a four-year-old Samsung A32 with 4 GB of RAM, and it shows: the camera stutters, builds take forever to preview, and half the modern web feels like it's running through mud.

I keep shipping anyway, but I'm done fighting my own phone. An iPhone 16 means a camera I can trust, a chip that doesn't choke, and — honestly — a way to test what I build on the device half the internet carries.

I'm not asking one person for a thousand dollars. I'm asking a thousand people for a dollar. If you've ever shipped something on a machine that fought you the whole way, you know exactly what this is.

No middleman, no mystery: the goal is fixed, the price is public, and every dollar goes toward the phone. When it's funded, I'll post proof right here.
