my sole excuse is price. I'd happily cough up anything below $1100 for this particular phone. anything above that is simply exorbitant. RAM went 5x over 2026, so I'm practically forced to not consider any hardware purchase at all, not even used, for now
> my sole excuse is price
To be clear, I’m not criticizing anyone balking at a $1,600 phone. I’m expressing skepticism at marketing a GrapheneOS phone at that price point.
I'll wait a few months for prices to go down a little, but I'm excited to get one.
I fail to see the logic in it being worth $1099 but not $2k.
If your max price point were $600 or something, sure, but once you’re above $1k what’s the difference? You already value it greatly.
It will probably go on sale soon close to your price point, as non-Apple phones typically do.
