Trump Mobile's T1 Gets a Fresh Look, Higher Price, and No USA-Made Claim

The Verge showed a new model of Trump Mobile's T1 phone with a redesigned camera layout and a waterfall-edge display, upgraded internals (Snapdragon 7-series, 512GB storage), and a price still under $1,000. The company has dropped the original claim that the device would be made in the USA, noting final assembly in Florida under a “favored nation” arrangement. A $100 deposit can lock in a $499 price for some buyers, but the final price for new buyers remains unclear, with a March release window discussed.
