> biggest fear here is that the price causes the device sales to be poor, and people blame grapheneos for it

I'm unconvinced there is a market for a premium GrapheneOS phone. It seems to do well in a niche where phones built for another OS get repurposed to it on the cheap.

Same. A lot of voices saying "I would totally buy..." and then an excuse comes up when it's time to actually buy. (no shade, I've been guilty of this myself)

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.

		It will probably go on sale soon close to your price point, as non-Apple phones typically do.

		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.
