I don’t think a $700 phone is terribly expensive. I mean, yes, it is, but as long as they stay below iPhone pricing I don’t see how anyone can complain.

The Librem is $700 and, at launch, doesn't include basic functionality like calendars, calculators and notes.

Sure I'm comparing apples to lemons here, but the first iPhone was $500, twelve years ago, and much more functional.

Also, "initial shipment" is a bit odd since everything before batch Evergreen (next year) could be considered a "preview release" since they're still finalizing some of the hardware. The iPhone didn't release in batches, it was a complete product on launch.

We'll see what makes the cut by the time Evergreen rolls out.
