That’s not quite what they claim. I’ll grant you it is confusing wording though. The paragraphs above the table of origin say:
> We use US companies with US fabrication whenever possible. Most distributors are based in the US with the exception of large integrated circuits that are made in a variety of countries where those companies do fabrication (US, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan); an example is the NXP CPU we use from their fabrication in South Korea.
- the-grump 3y agoThat is clearer and more believable. I'm going by the language on the page I shared. (Yes I'm aware your quote is from the same page). "All the electronics of the Liberty Phone is made in our USA facility" tells me that they are manufacturing all the components at the same facility, which beggars belief.
- seba_dos1 3y agoWhat your parent quoted comes from the page you shared.
- the-grump 3y agoI don't know how to communicate more clearly that there is a contradiction in their claims on the same page.
- seba_dos1 3y agoThe phone (its PCB, PCBA and assembly) is made at the USA facility, in contrast to the regular Librem 5 which is made in China. It uses some components that come from outside of the US.
- sezycei 3y ago"All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility, and the entire phone is assembled at that same facility, using the same manufacturing process we used for the Librem 5 devkits in 2018 and Librem Key that has the Made in the USA label started in 2019." "All the electronics of the Liberty Phone are made in our USA facility" "All the electronics" Edit: newlines
- BasedAnon 3y agoElectronics refers to circuit board assembly not discrete electrical components. I doubt you think their diodes or capacitors are US made
- sezycei 3y agoI would wager a significant amount of money that the vast majority of people who read "ALL ELECTRONICS" are going to believe that discrete electrical components are considered part of the category "ALL ELECTRONICS".
- olyjohn 3y agoIf unlimited doesn't mean unlimited, maybe all doesn't really mean all anymore either.
- atorodius 3y agoFWIW I understood your communication and I agree it is contradictory:)
