When Motorola introduced the Moto Tag 2 to American consumers at a discounted $20, it framed the gesture as temporary penance for a delayed launch — a promise that normal pricing would soon return. That promise has quietly dissolved. Weeks later, the discount has not expired but expanded, with Amazon now matching Motorola's own $19.99 listing, suggesting that what begins as an apology can, through the patient logic of markets, become a new truth.
