The T1 phone was marketed as domestically produced, but delays and vague updates have raised skepticism. References to ‘Made in the USA’ have been removed from the company’s site, and leaked images suggest the device resembles existing Chinese-made models. This situation underscores the complexity of building smartphones in America without established infrastructure.

September 2025 has been a brutal reminder of a truth we at Purism have been voicing for years: code is power. And when that code is closed, opaque, or controlled by Big Tech vendors who prioritize convenience or monetization over user rights, the end-user becomes the product, not the principal.

Officials insist the system targets foreign nationals—but its scope and design make it inevitable that millions of Americans’ online activity will also be swept up. This is unconstitutional.
