        In theory yes, in practice there is also the matter of your currency’s buying power and import taxes. I would know, when PinePhone was first coming out I looked into it to see if I could get one. And yes I could, except it would come at the price of an iPhone. The tax and IMEI unlocking fee quadrupled the price.

        It would be less bad with laptop or desktop since there is no IMEI fee, and there are some workarounds you can employ but it’s still a pain.
