If you want to play the "where is this ACTUALLY made" game you can play it all of the way back to the origin of the crude oil refined into diesel for the excavator that scooped up the raw silicon.
"Made in Alberta"
That being said, many ICs are still made in the USA. They might be packaged in Singapore or elsewhere, but they are lithograph'd in Texas, Virginia, and other places in the US.
Just updated my Librem 5, to see where it's at after catching dust in a drawer for a year. No bluetooth audio, sluggish browsing, no maps, no suspend, nice terminal, sweaty hands from the heat exhaust. So... still no battery life, and charging takes a couple of hours. I didn't even bother to try calls. Been there, done that with the PP & PPP. Great idea, nice proof of concept, but this is not a usable phone at all. Back to Fairphone + CalyxOS for me...

Bluetooth audio, maps work for me. NoScript make browsing quite fast.
BT audio with my headphones and car works fine.
Browsing is fine in FF unless the website is very JS intensive.
Maps works with Puremaps.
The terminal is fine? Unless there is something specific you want out of it. I tried getting kitty to run but it doesn't without opengl.
Heat used to be a bit much but it doesn't get more than a little warm now and hasn't been hot since I first got it almost a year ago.
