I respect what they're doing but holy shit "starting at [USD]$2199" is a lot of money for a phone, I can't imagine that they'll sell particularly many of them unfortunately.

I reckon that the scene for made-in-USA products will be quite different once their new chip foundries start up though - being able to pivot to using American-made chips with an established phone manufacturing line in the states could be quite the advantage especially if geopolitical tensions continue their recent trends!

Starting at 2199$, phew that's a lot

How can this be "all" made in USA parts? I thought certain critical components were only made in a few factories in the world?

It's not, it's mostly just assembled in the US.

From their site:

While we source chips that are made in the US whenever possible, chip country of origin is not nearly as meaningful as country of board fabrication, especially when all chips are verified hardware circuits that are driven by free software in the kernel.
