Trump Phone Teardown
The Trump Organization previously got rid of its Made in America claims, using phrases like "Designed with American Values," "Proudly American" and "American Proud Design" to describe its T1 phone.
A new teardown of the T1 phone by iFixit and NBC reveals the phone is nearly identical to the HTC U24 Pro, a smartphone made in China for the Taiwanese company.
