- OSOM is shutting down on Friday, marking the end of its attempt to establish a mobile phone company focused on privacy.
- The company, which emerged from Essential in 2020, faced numerous challenges, including legal issues and a lack of customer interest in its mobile devices.
- OSOM did release a product, the OSOM Privacy Cable, but failed to launch its intended smartphone, pivoting instead to an “AI-powered camera.”
- CEO Jason Keats noted that fundraising difficulties in the consumer electronics sector contributed to the company’s closure, and efforts to sell to HP were unsuccessful.
- Following the shutdown, OSOM will maintain some operations for contractual obligations but will cease general operations on September 6.
