Huh?

This FCC document clearly states exactly what it's banning:

https://www.fcc.gov/supplychain/coveredlist

"Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company, including telecommunications or video surveillance services provided by such entity or using such equipment."

Phones are a part of telecommunications equipment.

The definition of telecommunications equipment is:

The term “telecommunications equipment” means equipment used by a carrier to provide telecommunications services, and includes software integral to such equipment (including upgrades).

I don't think that includes phones. That is routing/switching hardware and software. I.e., infrastructure equipment, not consumer devices.

The definition applies to terminals. The FCC routinely uses the term to refer to terminals, e.g. [0]

Also, in the same paragraph, you can read that they explicitly mention “video surveillance services” as telecommunications equipment, which are terminals as well.
