Trump Mobile removes key T1 Phone feature from the website

However, this time it appears that despite a strong desire to build the Trump T1 in domestic factories, the Trump Mobile team realizes that such a thing cannot come to fruition so quickly. For example, it took the Liberty Phone six years to go from idea to finished product. Now, the Trump Mobile website no longer says that the device is "Made in America" and resorts to other comments such as one that says the T1 is "brought to life right here in the USA," and that it is "proudly American."
Despite the changes made to the copy used in the website, Trump Mobile spokesperson Chris Walker said in a statement that "T1 phones are proudly being made in America." Walker followed up by adding that "Speculation to the contrary is simply inaccurate." Back on June 16th when the Trump T1 was introduced, the Trump Organization said that the handset is a "sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier."

If you haven't read through the specs yet, the Trump T1 features: A 6.25-inch AMOLED display with a center punch-hole selfie camera and a 120Hz refresh rate.
50MP rear-facing main camera with 2MP Depth Sensor, 2MP Macro Lens.
In-display fingerprint sensor and AI-based facial recognition feature.
12GB RAM, 256 GB expandable storage, 3.5mm headphone jack. 5000 mAh battery with 20W PD charging.
Android 15 pre-installed. You can pre-order the Trump T1 by visiting the Trump Mobile site, completing the application, and paying $100. You'll be billed the remaining amount ($399) once the phone ships. You'll have to pay for your first month of Trump Mobile wireless service to pre-order the phone. You can use the service right away with your current phone, or pay the first month of service today and wait to receive your Trump T1 before using Trump Mobile.
The Trump Mobile website now says, "The T1SM Phone isn't just powerful—it's brought to life right here in the USA. With American hands behind every device, we bring care, precision, and trusted quality to every detail." Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Google Pixel Watch 4 is the first with satellite communication support
Vlad, 21 August 2025 Yesterday during its big launch event Google unveiled the Pixel Watch 4 alongside the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The watch is powered by Qualcomm's newly announced Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chipset, and one of the perks of this chip is its support for Narrowband Non-Terrestrial Network, aka satellite connectivity. So the Pixel Watch 4 should let you send and receive messages without a mobile carrier connection, provided you have some sort of plan that includes that. Its bigger battery provides an advertised 30 hours of use on the 41mm version and 40 hours on the 45mm iteration and that should also come in handy when you're trying to use satellites to communicate. We are of course expecting to see other Wear OS devices using Qualcomm's new chipset and its satellite communication support in the future, but for now, this is the only one. If you're interested in Google's new devices, don't miss our comprehensive pricing breakdown for the entire family.

T-Mobile changes its lost/stolen phone policy for reps because of T-Life
T-Mobile continues to make life harder for its reps. We've told you before about the metrics they are required to meet every month. This has led some of them to add accessories, insurance, chargers, cases, protective screen covers, and new lines to customers' orders without their consent. Lately, T-Mobile has its reps hung up over the T-Life app that could end up replacing the carrier's retail stores and its human sales crew. Today, an interesting post on social media caught my eye. According to this post, which was apparently written by a T-Mobile rep most likely working out of a corporate-run location, retail management at T-Mobile just received some news from those toiling in the executive suite. When a customer comes into a T-Mobile store with a broken phone or complains that his phone has been lost, the rep will open a new device and hope that the customer has enough equipment credit or the ability to make the down payment for the replacement. The dreaded T-Life app, public enemy number one among T-Mobile reps. | Image credit-PhoneArena Probably the part of this process that will upset the reps most is that they are told to load all of the customer's personal information on the new device. Then, they have to log in through T-Life on the new phone and make the upgrade through the app. Now you might expect that this is a process that has been tested by T-Mobile under real-life conditions, and it was. But as the rep wrote on Reddit, it was tested for " not a month, not 3 weeks" but for only seven days in one city. And yet, the carrier plans on rolling this out nationwide! The Tensor G5-powered Pixel 10 has just been announced, and it's already available for pre-order at Amazon with a sweet $100 gift card. Reserve yours before this promo expires. Pre-order at Amazon Looking for a more flagship Pixel 10 experience in a compact form factor? Consider the Pixel 10 Pro instead! It's available for pre-order at Amazon with a $200 gift card! Pre-order at Amazon Users after a larger screen and a serious Gemini AI prowess should consider the latest Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. The just-announced flagship is available for pre-order with a $200 Amazon Gift Card. Pre-order at Amazon The T-Mobile rep who wrote this said, "To the customers, we apologize. Our company has lost touch with you guys. To the T-Mobile front line who HAS recently been told if you don't do this T-Life stuff you will be fired, and AI will replace you now or later, we have to fight this NOW!" Another T-Mobile rep who works in one of the carrier's Experience stores (which supposedly focus on educating the customer as opposed to making quick sales) said that these locations received the same memo. This rep typed, "Experience stores got the same message. I feel like this needs to get pushed up the compliance chain." Another rep working at a corporate-run location said that the store's Retail Associate Manager just received the memo as well. One of the responses came from a T-Mobile salesperson who didn't care whether the company was opening replacement phones before getting paid for them. This person wrote, "If that's what they want then so be it, not my inventory so idc. Them snatch and grabs about to go crazy." T-Mobile reps are upset about the T-Life app taking over their jobs. Perhaps the best comment follows: "I would have loved to have been in the meeting where they were deciding to handle the problem of how to do lost/stolen phone replacements through 1: "Ooh! I know. The store could have a few old, surplus tablets with T-life on 'em and customers could log in and do the transaction using one of "Interesting idea. Any other proposals?"Person 2: "Oooh! I have a better idea! Let's have the customer open the retail packaging of a new phone that they haven't bought, transfer all the customer's info to it, install T-life, and have them do the upgrade on that device! Most customers might qualify to actually complete the transaction, too!" Boss: "Brilliant! Let's go with that. Here, have some stock options." Personally, I believe that T-Mobile was forced to make this change after a customer with a broken phone recently came into a T-Mobile store and the rep refused to sell him a new phone because he couldn't access T-Life with the broken handset. So how are T-Mobile reps feeling these days about the changes they are asked to make? Well, the title of the original post in the thread ought to give you a good idea. It's titled, "New bs thing for reps coming soon."
