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.

So if you can pay 20k for a car, you may as well pay 100k, because you already want a car? I'm not sure I get the argument.

2k is two times 1k. There are many things that I would not buy for double the price.

He said the price being over his $1100 cap was what stopped him. It exceeded his cap by $499.

In your example where you were sold on a $20k car, would the car being $20,499 stop you from buying it?

> In your example where you were sold on a $20k car, would the car being $20,499 stop you from buying it?

The real example would be the car costing $9073 more than the $20000 budget. It's an increase of 45% it's not trivial.

Do you assume that beyond a certain threshold people just have infinite money?

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.

> 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.

Its not being marketed as a GrapheneOS phone. It is a Motorola phone that will come with MotorolaOS. It additionally meets the hardware security requirements for GrapheneOS, and can be flashed with it. There is a possibility preinstalled options will be available but nothing has been confirmed.

Your sole excuse will disappear within few months, lets see how it works for your then

well if I can finance it then it's alright. I strongly believe that this is a device for at least 10 years, so it's totally worth it

Only 7 years of guaranteed updates.
