I see the price tag and lol, but then remember that all the big name flagship and even midrange phones have similar sticker prices. But then I have to ask whether the typical user actually pays the amount up front for a Pixel 10 or whatever. I’d expect it’s instead baked into subscription pricing where you get the phone at a large “discount” with a 2 year contract or whatever.
I do have a family member who bought a new iphone 13 when they were $700 or so but I couldn’t see doing that myself. My $200 Moto G hardware does everything that I want my phone hardware to do. It’s just the software lockdowns that I’d want to escape from. If I could run Graphene or whatever on similar hardware I’d be right there, no need for a Fairphone.
