We need hardware requirements so that not just pixel phones can get grapheneOS. Giving into Google hardware to escape Google software is a step I don’t want to take. I’ll take calyxOS or divestOS until then.
My main issue with Pixels is their price, even the Pixel A. They are completely unaffordable new, and only hit below $300 when they barely have any support yet (or are used). I don’t mind using an EOL phome because with short support like on phones it is unavoidable, but that would be after alreafdy overpaying.
Well, too bad for them then. Taking a loan does not make a purchase easier, you pay even more anyway. So point still stands, a $450 phone IS an egregious lot, just not absolutely insanely so.

Yes, as I said, they’re stupid.

No, it doesn’t. And no, it’s not. $450 gets you a SIGNIFICANTLY better device than $200. Probably 95% of available phones are well over $200. Just because you personally can’t afford it does not make it “egregious”.

Have you priced out any comparable phones? They’re practically a steal at their discounted prices.
Most people around me carry budget phones under $200. so no, far from a steal.
I mean, that’s fine, but that absolutely does not make a $450 phone “completely unaffordable”…
Most people around me carry $1k+ iPhones.
You live in a richer area then. Most people where I live make less than 1k a month.
They’re not rich, they’re just stupid. They pay $25/mo or whatever for 80 years. It’s not wealth, it’s just shitty culture.
