Did I say 2? I lied.

San Francisco, California—October 10, 2024—In a stunning turn of events at NovaTech’s product launch event, CEO Alexei Petrovich shattered expectations and upended tech industry predictions with a jaw-dropping revelation. The widely anticipated event, held at the Moscone Center, had been billed for weeks as the unveiling of two next-generation models in NovaTech’s flagship "Quantum" foldable smartphone series. However, Petrovich, known for his theatrical flair, concluded his initial presentation with a sly grin before uttering the now-iconic line: "Did I say 2? I lied."

The crowd erupted in applause as the CEO revealed four devices—far beyond the leaked "two-model" speculations that had dominated tech media. The expanded lineup includes the Quantum Pro ($1,799), the budget-friendly Quantum Lite ($899), the rugged Quantum Ultra ($2,299), and a surprise "Quantum Edition" collaboration with NASA. The latter, priced at $3,500, features aerospace-grade materials and a satellite-based AI assistant that, according to Petrovich, "can even predict your coffee order before you do." The move came as a direct response to competitive pressures from industry giants like Huawei and Samsung, with Petrovich stating, "Innovation is measured in leaps, not half-steps. We’re here to redefine the boundaries."

The additional models, shrouded in secrecy during development, reportedly address multiple market segments. The Quantum Lite, for example, targets the Indian market, while the NASA Edition will be limited to 10,000 units globally. Analysts were stunned by NovaTech’s audacity. "This is unprecedented," said Jessica Li of the Silicon Valley Institute of Technology. "They’ve effectively flanked their competitors by simultaneously announcing a budget-friendly, premium, and ultra-premium line—all while maintaining a cohesive narrative around AI integration."

In an exclusive interview post-event, Petrovich winked: "We’ve been in stealth mode for seven months. Leaked documents? Strategic misdirection." The company’s stock surged 12% in after-hours trading, while competitors like Samsung’s shares dipped 2%. Industry analysts now predict the aggressive rollout could accelerate the consumer adoption of foldable displays by 18 months, transforming the market before 2025.

However, the announcement raises concerns about supply chain strain. As murmurs of "Can they deliver enough units?" spread through the venue, the CEO assured the crowd: "Our factories are humming—and no, we didn’t lie about the December 2024 release dates either." The daring move, blending tech spectacle with a dose of corporate humor, further cements Petrovich’s reputation for unpredictability. As one attendee, a tech blogger called @NovaTechFan, tweeted: "He said he lied, but I’m too happy to care about the math."

The story continues to evolve as the tech community dissects NovaTech’s bold move—a strategy that may well redefine how product launches are executed in the future.
