9 Urgent Questions About Trump Mobile and the Gold T1 Smartphone

wired.com Brian Barrett 2026-03-17 02:54:05

On Monday morning, the Trump Organization announced that it would soon offer a new wireless service, Trump Mobile, and a golden, $499 smartphone to go with it. None of it makes much sense. To be clear, the Trumps would be far from the only celebrities to moonlight as mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO, a pretty common practice where small carriers piggyback off of bigger networks under a different name. Even the SmartLess podcast guys have one. But the more you read about Trump’s cell pla

Donald Trump is launching a cellular brand called Trump Mobile. The newly formed company, which was announced today by Donald Trump Jr., will sell a single wireless plan called “The 47 Plan,” which offers unlimited talk and texting, as well as unlimited data that throttles speeds after the first 20GB each month.

Donald Trump's image will soon be used to sell smartphones, the Trump Organization confirmed after unveiling a new wireless service, Trump Mobile, on Monday. According to the press release, Trump Mobile's "flagship" wireless plan will be "The 47 Plan," which references Trump's current term as the United States' 47th president. The Trump Organization says the plan offers an "unbeatable value"—costing $47.45 per month—and "transformational" cellular service. But the price seems to be on par with

The Trump Mobile T1 Phone looks both bad and impossible

Here is a roughly complete list of all the things we know for sure about the first phone made for the new Trump Mobile wireless provider: it’s called the T1 Phone 8002 (gold version). It costs $499, and you can reserve one now with a $100 down payment. It is, according to the website, coming in September. That’s about all I feel confident saying. Beyond that, all we have is a website that was clearly put together quickly and somewhat sloppily, a promise that the phone is “designed and built in

So, what makes Starlink and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet the biggest names in rural broadband? One word: Availability. Both providers offer solid options for rural communities. While Starlink has effectively revolutionized satellite internet with its fleet of low Earth orbit satellites and has reportedly doubled its speeds compared to two years ago.

Bioprospectors mine microbial genomes for antibiotic gold

In brief The discovery of penicillin nearly 100 years ago started a gold rush to find new antimicrobials. Scientists mined microscopic bacteria and fungi for compounds that could help fight off infection. But over time the rate of antimicrobial discoveries slowed to a crawl. Now, modern-day bioprospectors are using genomics, synthetic biology, and AI to dig deeper than they ever have before.

You’ll Guffaw When You Hear How Much Self-Driving Waymos Cost Compared to Human-Driven Ubers

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-18 08:30:32

The whole point of self-driving taxis is, in theory, to save costs on human labor — but Waymo, Google's glitchy robotaxi service, doesn't appear to be any cheaper at all, at least for now. In a report shared with TechCrunch, the ride-hailing data aggregator Obi found that riding with Waymo is pretty much always more expensive than taking a ride with a human-driven Uber or Lyft. For its analysis, Obi analyzed roughly 90,000 records from Uber, Lyft, and Waymo rides between March 25 and April 25

A central premise of robotaxis is that high usage and lower labor costs will ultimately make it a cheap transportation option. That is still far from true, but now there’s some data that gives us an idea of by how much. Obi, an app that aggregates real-time pricing and pick-up times across multiple ride-hailing services, has just published what it’s calling the “first in-depth examination of Waymo’s pricing strategy.” The company found Waymo’s self-driving car rides to be consistently more expe
