Purism Featured in Fortune- Secure Phone Made in the USA.

While Big Tech claims U.S. smartphone manufacturing is “impossible” or “too expensive,”

@purism Wouldn't the chassis being made in China cause tariffs to be placed on it still, though?

The Librem 5 looks doable. Very interested in the whole laptop/phone setup, but lack the funds to buy/test. I game, and it doesn't look like either the laptop or mini would support good gaming. I mean, I don't play a bunch, but I do play. Not sure they could replace my current hardware 🤔

@purism @nullagent “Its Liberty Phone, manufactured near San Diego, comes with U.S.-made electronics installed on a metal chassis from China. It retails for $1,999. Another phone, the Librem 5, is mostly the same design, except it’s made in China with Chinese parts, and costs $799.”

If this is meant to disprove that manufacturing in the US is too expensive, it’s not on its face a very effective argument.
