    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). 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.

    Even if I was ok spending $2300AUD on a phone. No headphone jack, no purchase.
