    1300 dollars? Oof, that’s steep. How are they going to justify that price tag, I wonder?

      From the article:

      due at least in part to rising supply chain costs due to the global chip shortage

      I don’t blame them. I worked in a similar industry affected by corona/supply shortage - and it’s likely going to last well into mid-2022, if not longer, before production lines catch up to meet demand. This is impacting the small players the most unfortunately, the big players will survive but a lot of small companies don’t have the safety nets to survive, I wish them the best and that they can ship my phone out someday haha.
