Punkt. unveils MC03, latest version of its unique smartphone offering
giving users full control over personal data and usage.

Black smartphone with clock app on screen and 'Punkt' branding on
back

Made in Europe, the MC03 has an updated and more sustainable design
and evolved features, with security and privacy at its heart.

2 January 2026, Lugano, Switzerland / CES, Las Vegas. Punkt. , the
Swiss-based pioneer of beautifully designed, minimalist smartphones
that give users privacy without friction, will be present at CES with
its latest model, the MC03. This unique device, powered by AphyOS and
housed within a German-built precision handset, follows through on
Punkt.'s well known commitment to intentional tech use and data
ownership.

Like its forerunner, the MC02, the new model is a subscription-based
smartphone that offers users the tools and apps that are most
important to them in an environment where they control access to
their data and usage.

Using the Punkt. MC03, users can put privacy first with two defined
repositories for depositing data. The first is named Vault, a
protected enclave containing only trusted, Punkt.-approved apps and
offering maximum privacy by default with a calm, design-focused user
interface. The second, termed Wild Web, provides the freedom to
install any app, but with strict, visible safeguards that allow easy
privacy controls and can prevent data triangulation and unauthorized
data flows.

"Privacy is being sought by people more than ever before,
particularly as we enter the age of AI," said Petter Neby, Founder
and CEO at Punkt. "They are stressed and overwhelmed by the
determination of Big Tech to track and monetise their every online
movement. Punkt. offers them a solution - a modern, premium device
without the need to compromise on their privacy."

The MC03 features a new look and feel to its operating system
allowing users to stay laser-focused on getting the best experience.
AphyOS cuts out tracking and profiling technology, bloatware, hidden
apps and unwieldy background services. It eliminates spying and runs
hardened code to block attacks, assisted by a bank-grade Secure
Element.

With the MC03, Punkt. is building a secure smartphone ecosystem where
privacy is not an add-on, but the default. Supported by trusted
partners such as Threema and, new for MC03, Proton, these services
feature in the device's Vault space.

Trusted services including Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, Proton
Drive, Proton VPN and Proton Pass are available in an environment
designed to minimize data exposure and tracking.

Punkt. and Proton are ideal partners, both leading within the Swiss
Tech movement (with Swiss Tech you pay to retain your data, with Big
Tech you pay with your data), operating independently and built
around the principle that users, not platforms, control their own
data.

Andy Yen, Founder and CEO of Proton said, "People deserve choice.
Choice over the phone they use, the software they rely on and who
they share their data with. By working with likeminded companies like
Punkt., we can give users more ways to regain control of their
privacy."

Among other features of the MC03:

The App Hub

Two app stores are available:

  * A curated privacy-friendly store vetted by AphyOS and Punkt.
  * Access to all widely available apps, activated only when chosen
    by the user.

Premium Hardware

Manufactured at the Gigaset facility in Germany, the device delivers
cutting-edge engineering for quality, security, repairability and
sustainability, including:

  * 120Hz OLED HDR display
  * Removable 5200mAh battery
  * IP68 water and dust resistance
  * 64MP main camera

Digital Nomad

The MC03 retains its built-in VPN, Digital Nomad, protecting
connectivity and privacy wherever users are.

Ledger

Users control app-specific privacy, from full access to full
restriction. Ledger also includes a Carbon Reduction feature, giving
insights into the energy impact of installed apps and control over
background activity.

"The MC03 builds on the success of the MC02 in privacy, control and
security," continued Petter Neby. "It delivers modern features with
simplicity and minimal distraction."

The Punkt. MC03 is priced at CHF / $ / EUR699.

If you don't pay for a product, you are the product. With MC03, you
pay to retain your data rather than paying with it.

A 12-month subscription to AphyOS from Apostrophy is included. After
that, continuation requires a paid subscription:

Monthly at CHF / $ / EUR9.99

Subscription bundles are available, including a 3-year subscription
at 45% discount and a 5-year subscription at 60% discount.

The MC03 is available to pre-order now, with deliveries in Europe at
the end of January and North America from Spring 2026.
