There is one but it’s extremely expensive and extremely rudementary

Yeah absolutely zero chance anyone is gonna make a moder smartphone with all parts from a single country. Maybe in China but definitely nowhere else.

I am skeptical it is only made of US components, if nothing else due to the sheer number of components. This video (note this video is an ad for a product) is about the difficulties making something far simpler out of entirely US components, and they straight up couldn’t do it even when trying - suppliers outright lied about the country of origin in some cases, and some parts were extremely difficult to source in the US. This is a grill brush with like 10 components and not a smart phone.

It’s fair to be skeptical but that guy is a YouTuber and this is an electronics company and they actually manufacture the electronics themselves. There’s no one involved to lie to them. If the Destin built his own manufacturing facility there would be no question.

China is restricted from buying the machines necessary for high-end semiconductors, so not china either

You’re technically right but only because Taiwan (despite what China fervently wants) is a separate country from China. If you follow the official Chinese party line that they aren’t then yes you could make a modern phone entirely from parts made in “China”. It would at a minimum be more “made in China” than anything Trump is peddling as “made in USA”.
