In a recent Bloomberg Technology interview, Todd Weaver, CEO of Purism, challenged the widespread belief that building smartphones in the U.S. is economically unfeasible. Purism’s Liberty Phone—manufactured with made-in-USA electronics—stands as working proof.

While President Trump has called for more U.S.-based smartphone production and even launched the Trump T1 mobile service, Weaver pointed out a crucial detail: the T1 is essentially a rebranded Chinese-made Wingtech device. In contrast, Purism’s Liberty Phone is the only smartphone on the market built using U.S.-manufactured components and assembled domestically, all while running on a secure, open-source operating system: PureOS.

Weaver dismantled the narrative that domestic smartphone production is cost-prohibitive. “It’s actually cheaper than many claim,” he told Bloomberg hosts Ed Ludlow and Caroline Hyde. By vertically integrating hardware and software development—and avoiding surveillance-driven advertising and data mining business models—Purism avoids the hidden costs passed on to consumers through privacy violations and long-term data exploitation.

More than just a manufacturing story, this is about national security and consumer sovereignty. Unlike Chinese-made or Android/iOS devices loaded with pre-installed data harvesting software supported by targeted advertising, the Liberty Phone is designed to protect user freedom at the system level. “We don’t spy on our users. That’s our model,” Weaver emphasized.

As debates intensify around digital sovereignty, surveillance capitalism, and foreign tech influence, Purism is leading a quiet but powerful revolution in ethical tech manufacturing. The Liberty Phone isn’t just a product—it’s a statement.

For those demanding transparency, privacy, and American-made integrity in their devices, the Liberty Phone represents the future.
