This is true, and important. Thanks for the reminder.

The list linked above (and the price tag deduced from it) is restricted to unlocked phones only for this reason.





There's no way to easily tell that those phones have unlocked bootloaders, though. Ex-Verizon phones may be completely carrier unlocked, will work on any network, and still have locked bootloaders. This isn't an issue for anyone running stock Android, but will restrict those phones from being used to run GrapheneOS.
