Any keys stored on an internet connected device have way more vulnerabilities than keys stored completely off a device

You can create a wallet with wifi turned off. Back up seed. Delete wallet.

Your Internet connected phone could already be compromised. There many ways to steal your keys from a compromised device. It's just a basic principle you don't mess with for serious sums.

I completely agree. I know we can dont trust verify. The thing is I cannot verify any hardware wallet anyway. Has anyone really read all the code and done an analysis? Are there any independent reviews proving some of these hardware companies claims?

Could this solve that issue?

But when you sign a transaction that would happen on an internet connected device still? Right? Or atleast you have to communicate with an internet connected device still?
