Mobile Experts Skeptical of Trump ‘T1’ Phone Made-in-America Claims –
“Blake Przesmicki, an analyst at the research firm Counterpoint, is also skeptical that the T1 will be American-made. Instead, he expects Trump Mobile to source the device from a manufacturer in China. One reason why is because in an interview on Monday, Eric Trump mentioned: “You can build these phones in the United States… Eventually, all the phones can be built in the United States of America.”
“This implies that initially many of them won’t be,” Przesmicki said in an email. Developing and releasing a phone within a few months also represents “a tight turnaround,” he added.
Meanwhile, iFixit repairability engineer Carsten Frauenheim also expects the Trump Mobile team to source the device from China while adding some modifications. “It’s going to be a semi-custom ‘modded/assembled in the USA’ version of a designed-and built-in China basic-as-heck Android phone,” Frauenheim said.”
