Completely Impossible ..., say analysts on claims that Donald Trump's T1 smartphone will be made in America; add: Where are ...
The Trump Organization says that the entire device, which costs $499 is assembled in the US, but there is no information on when it will hit stores. Earlier this week, the Trump Organization, owned by the US President Donald Trump, announced the launch of the T1, a gold-colored smartphone priced at $499. The smartphone, which will run on Google's Android operating system, is being promoted as 'built in the United States.' However, industry experts have cast doubt on these claims, suggesting the phone is likely designed and manufactured by a Chinese company. The announcement comes as President Trump has intensified scrutiny on global smartphone supply chains, particularly targeting companies like Apple to move manufacturing to the U.S. amid threats of tariffs on imported devices. Francisco Jeronimo, vice president at International Data Corp. told CNBC that it is 'completely impossible' for the T1 to be fully designed and manufactured in the U.S. He and other analysts, including Blake Przesmicki of Counterpoint Research, believe the phone is likely produced by a Chinese original device manufacturer (ODM), which designs and builds products to the specifications of other companies. Jeff Fieldhack, research director at Counterpoint, added that the U.S. lacks readily available local manufacturing capabilities for smartphones. Experts also warn that the US-based smartphone production would be a costly and time-intensive endeavor, likely increasing prices significantly. How and where to get the components The T1's specifications further highlight its reliance on global supply chains. The device features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display, likely sourced from South Korean companies Samsung or LG, or Chinese manufacturer BOE. Its 50-megapixel camera is expected to use image sensors from Japan's Sony, a dominant player in the market. The phone's processor is likely to come from Taiwan's MediaTek or Qualcomm, with manufacturing based in Taiwan. While US-based Micron could supply memory components, other suppliers like Samsung may also be involved. 'Even with local manufacturing, the T1 will rely on imported components,' Fieldhack noted, underscoring the global nature of smartphone production.

Rupee slips on oil spike, falls 30 paise to 86.34 against US dollar, traders cite geopolitical crisis & weak equities
The rupee weakened by 30 paise to close at 86.34 against the US dollar on Tuesday, pressured by a sharp rise in global crude oil prices and growing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A stronger greenback and muted domestic equity markets further weighed on the local unit. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 85.96 and moved in a range between 85.89 and 86.34 before settling at the day's low. The currency had ended at 86.04 on Monday. 'As the rupee closes below 86.20, we can expect it to fall to 86.70 levels before any recovery,' said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director at Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP, quoted PTI. 'Dollar selling has been restricted for now with the war and is taking a toll on risk, and the greenback is getting bought as the tariff issue becomes secondary. Trump also said pharma tariffs will be coming soon, spooking pharma stocks of India and FPIs selling continuously,' he added. Bhansali noted that multiple global stress factors are dampening sentiment. 'Conflicts in Europe and the Middle East have intensified. The US has an unsustainable debt while there is unrest due to the deportation of illegal immigrants in the US. All negative factors have been helpful in keeping risk assets away, taking the rupee lower as it closed at 86.24,' he said. He expects the rupee to remain in the 85.80–86.50 range on Wednesday. Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, jumped 1.60% to $74.40 per barrel in Tuesday's trade, continuing their upward trajectory amid intensifying Israel-Iran tensions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Domestic equities also closed lower. The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 212.85 points to 81,583.30, and the NSE Nifty fell 93.10 points to end at 24,853.40. The dollar index, which tracks the US currency against a basket of six peers, rose 0.20% to 98.19, adding to the rupee's downside pressure. On the macro front, the country's unemployment rate rose to 5.6% in May from 5.1% in April, largely due to seasonal factors, according to data released by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation. Despite the bearish cues, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were net buyers on Tuesday, purchasing equities worth Rs 1,482.77 crore, according to exchange data.
