The Motorola Signoture phone has finally released... And it's utterly expensive with a price pf $1600. Jeez. Only the rich can get privacy, I guess. Might as well buy the outdated Pixel 10

What I want to know is whether all anti-privacy money is subsidizing other brands' phones.

Is this the real price of a good phone hardware if the end user's data isn't the product being sold?

    Most cannot afford to build their own and are at the mercy of ODM/MFG capacity.

    Most cannot afford to command a large volume order of units, so they cannot get any discount on the prosu tioj cost and the sticker price of building their supply chain and distribution.

    And nobody can get discounts on RAM. Not Valve. Not Apple.

    The thing is, if we just keep writing the existing Supply of used Hardware from the evil empire company in 3 years time who do you think will still be available to spin up a project like this?

    Doing the right thing is going to cost a premium AND if you don't do it soon the option may be off the table permanently.
