Whoops, I figured this was the usual thing where people in Europe get screwed by paying the euro amount for what we pay in dollars (e.g. where we pay $500 and they pay €500 for the same product). Either way, for $1600 they could have at least included a headphone jack. I would have been very, very tempted despite the price to have GrapheneOS and a headphone jack again.
Not exactly. Europrices are always after taxes, Muricans always speak of prices before taxes (and tip, if applicable), so just mentally changing the € for $ or vice versa gets you a good enough approximation.
$1900 and still no headphone jack.

Which would make their claim even more wrong because a nominal tax rate of 10% would make that price $1758.9.
But either way, the point is, $1900
@!$and €1900 aren’t the same and either their dollar sign was a typo or they misread.Whoops, I figured this was the usual thing where people in Europe get screwed by paying the euro amount for what we pay in dollars (e.g. where we pay $500 and they pay €500 for the same product).

$1600 USD is like $1000 AUD cheaper than $1600 EUR
$2,133.08 USD.

Also, even ignoring taxes, it’s pretty common for tech products to cost the same number of USD, EUR, and GBP.
That was what I assumed, and clearly I was wrong.
Nope. Still wrong according to the above thread. Looks like price in the US would be something like $1599 edit: before tax.
Even if I was ok spending $2300AUD on a phone. No headphone jack, no purchase.
Is an adapter really that terrible?
Yes, and completely unnecessary since your phone already has a DAC in it
Right, at this point I am carrying around a DAP to listen to headphones. Being able to go back to just the phone would be very convenient for me.
