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.
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.
Is an adapter really that terrible?
Yes, and completely unnecessary since your phone already has a DAC in it
