Handset Inventory Write-Down — Obsolescence
Writing down slow-moving handset models when newer devices make them unsellable at cost.

💡 Accountant's Note
Handset technology cycles are short (12-18 months). Models not sold before a new launch may require write-down to NRV. This is a key risk for telecoms carrying large handset inventory.
