Surely it costs a billion dollars to produce a competitive handset?

I think people would buy a wifi enabled touchscreen pocket device that super simple was good with PWA, but had no sim, no 4/5G antenna or any of the expensive cpu/RAM that a modern phone has.

Why aim for a phone when an open source iPod touch is all that’s require?
