I wonder how useful purism phones are for this (all external communication, including GPS, has hardware shutoffs).

They are expensive though...

Couldn't you achieve the same by just enabling airplane mode or similar on regular devices? I don't think niche devices with hardware killswitches should be necessary
My S23 enters airplane mode and the WiFi and Bluetooth are still connected... Airplane mode isn't what it used to be!
I just have a 20 yo Nokia - doesn’t have all the fancy stuff, only can send texts
