We've been through THIS shit before of course - how many US manufactured
phone platforms do you think there are, ya trollass Oztarded queer?

AI Overview                 

True "Made in USA" cell phones are
exceedingly rare, as most mainstream smartphones are assembled abroad.

The primary verified consumer smartphone entirely fabricated and built
in the U.S. is the Liberty Phone by Purism, which costs $1,999 and
focuses heavily on security, privacy, and Linux-based open-source
software.

The American smartphone market is divided into a few key
categories:

1. Fully Assembled in the USAThe Liberty Phone (by Purism):
Assembled in Carlsbad, California. It uses domestically fabricated
circuit boards and U.S.-sourced electronics to meet strict domestic
manufacturing benchmarks. It runs PureOS (a Linux-based OS), features
hardware kill switches for the camera and microphone, and costs
$1,999.2. 

American-Designed Brands (Manufactured Abroad)Major tech
companies design their software and hardware in the U.S. but rely on
overseas facilities (mainly in Asia) for mass assembly and component
sourcing.

Apple iPhone: Designed in California, but manufactured
primarily by contract partners in China and India.

Google Pixel:
Designed in Mountain View, California, with final assembly typically
located in Asia.

Why aren't there more American-made phones?

Industry experts and community discussions, as seen on Quora, widely
agree that the prohibitive costs of domestic labor and the lack of a
localized supply chain for microchips, batteries, and screens make
producing mainstream smartphones on U.S. soil unprofitable for
large-scale consumer markets. 

Historically, American brands like
Motorola have run intermittent, limited assembly pilot programs in the
U.S. (such as the original Moto X), but these were eventually
discontinued.


And YOU remain one dumbass motherfucker!
