Can’t wait for Verizon to push this out on September…
Technically mine is. I reflashed it back from graphene bc no tap to pay was a deal breaker. Though I did just get an update so maybe me reflash fixed my long-standing update timing issue.
I wonder if getting a smartwatch with tap-to-pay, like the Pixel watch could help with that? You could still continue to use GrapheneOS on your phone (assuming the watch has no phone dependencies).
are non carrier phones not available in USA ? boggle my mind to buy a phone in 2023 with a carrier instead of just paying the phone in full like we do in Europe

Sure they are - you can buy directly from Google if you want. Phones from carriers are subsidized / free to hook you into a contract, but you can also just buy a phone and pop your SIM card into it.
I just learned the hard way that getting a p7 via carrier means it can’t be bootloaded, which means I can’t install grapheneOS on it. They gave me $800 off the phone if I bought through them, which was a nice discount, but it still sucks because I can’t do what I want on the hardware. Lesson learned for next time.
