MIT Technology Review obtained Prince's investor presentation for the “RedPill Phone,” which promises more than it could possibly deliver.

Librem is based on Linux, a free and open-source operating system that gives the lie to Prince’s false claim of being first to create an operating system outside Big Tech. In fact, the phone was originally called the “RedPill Phone,” a name based on a meme adored by the American far right. [incognito intelligence agency](https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/09/15/1035813/us-sold-iphone-exploit-uae/) for the United Arab Emirates that has reportedly been busted hacking dissidents and journalists, marketed its own “ultrasecure” phone called the Katim beginning in 2018. “Nothing you do to the phone is going to change that.” “There's such a high volume of vulnerabilities that Android is disclosing and patching on an ongoing basis that you really do need to stay on top of all of those,” says Richardson. There, Karpen built the [IntactPhone](https://www.intactphone.com/), which the company called a “military-grade mobile device.” He’s also a veteran of Israel’s Unit 8200, an agency that conducts cyber espionage and is the country’s equivalent of the NSA. The phone is fully transparent and publishes source code and hardware details for anyone to see—unlike Unplugged, which has released precious few details next to its big promises. Apple’s iPhones are considered the most secure consumer device on the market due in part to the fact that the company offers security updates to some of its older phones for six years, longer than virtually all competitors. It boldly claims that the phone and its operating system are “impenetrable” to surveillance, interception, and tampering, and its messenger service is marketed as “impossible to intercept or decrypt.” “There are the actual attempts to make real secure phones, and then there is the marketing BS. The selling points of Unplugged’s device, known as the UP Phone, are built on enormous promises of security and privacy that go beyond what any phone can accomplish.
