i don't know all the catches of u.s. operators, be warned!
first i thought it was android, in that case you may turn device on before activation and see what's inside. of course, do not connect wifi networks and others. that aluminum foil, i don't think is needed or useful!
but it's kaios. i don't think it's that bad. however i would like to hear some things about kaios if possible. is kaiaccount mandatory or half-mandatory? half-mandatory means it's practically required for basic services like google account on most android phones. can default apps be uninstalled? is there fastboot? can it be unlocked?
what i know kaios is better than average android. however kaios could have apps, like facebook, whatsapp, google apps, so on. i don't know about uninstalling though, especially if there are default apps. it seems that bootloaders in kaios devices are totally locked, but someone could verify. kaios usually requires some drivers and firmware which are closed software.
i still have one android with unlocked bootloader with modified android. zero close source google stuff in it. although android is google's project even it might have open source basis. cleaning android device starting to be too big headache.
finland and maybe e.u. has a law which requires operators to support all capable devices. of course, assuming they do not cause interference or other problems and conforms technical standards like gsm, umts, lte and nr5g. putting shortly, devices cannot be banned.
slightly offtopic, probably should be in own thread. devices and services starting to be too much dependent on big tech closed eco systems like google and apple. i heard that even banking services may require android or ios. in my view democratically controlled governments should start making laws against requiring these closed eco systems.
