• Trump Mobile removes "Made in America" claims for its T1 phone soon after launch.
• Website now features vague language about American design and production.
• Significant changes also include alterations in phone specifications.

The launch of Trump Mobile's T1 Phone has seen a significant shift in marketing language, as the company has removed previous claims that the device would be "MADE IN AMERICA." The website has replaced this tagline with more ambiguous phrases, such as "brought to life right here in the USA" and "designed with American values in mind," following its announcement on June 16. Originally, the device was heavily promoted as being manufactured domestically, which has now raised skepticism, especially given the complexities of smartphone production often reliant on international supply chains, according to India Times, Business Insider, BBC, and South China Morning Post.

Despite the changes on the website, Trump Mobile representatives have maintained that the T1 Phone will be produced in the U.S., with spokesperson Chris Walker stating, "speculation to the contrary is simply inaccurate." This assertion contradicts industry experts who have highlighted the unlikely feasibility of manufacturing smartphones in the U.S. from scratch due to the current lack of essential high-tech components and capabilities within the country, according to Business Insider, BBC, and South China Morning Post.

Changes have also manifested in the T1 Phone's specifications, with the screen size reportedly decreased from 6.78 inches to 6.25 inches, and important specifications, such as RAM, missing from the updated listing. Originally marketed as a premium device priced at $499, the T1 Phone will feature a new service plan called "The 47 Plan," which includes unlimited talk, text, and data but also relies on network capabilities from established U.S. providers, as outlined in statements from the Trump organization and reviewed in India Times, Business Insider, BBC, and South China Morning Post.
