That, with the semblance of an American flag portrayed on the back of the phone, gives the consumer the false impression that the phone was made in the USA, when it wasn’t. The wording was devised by lawyers to create the argument that it is meaningless, and therefore unenforceable, while the obvious intent is to mislead the potential buyer of the phone’s origin.
