Recently, Donald Trump announced that his company would conquer Silicon Valley by launching its own smartphone brand. The phone is to be called T1 Phone from Trump Mobile and although it basically looks like any other smartphone on the market, the phone itself had a unique selling point tailored to Americans, namely that it is ” made in the USA” was. For a country looking to further improve its own production and reduce imports, this seemed like a big hit with Trump’s voters, although the president may have told a few pork pies…
The Verge now reports that the tag “made in the USA” has been removed from the T1, suggesting that the smartphone will rely on at least some elements imported from elsewhere. The exact details of what this might be are not clear, but this is also because some of the specifications for the device are also being tweaked.
The screen size seems to be getting smaller, from 6.78″ to 6.25″ and the included RAM is also no longer mentioned, despite earlier references to 12 GB of memory. The release date for the phone also seems to be on the rocks, as the former reference of September has now been changed to “later this year.”
The Trump Organization has not commented on these changes, but it certainly seems that something is going on at Trump Mobile.
