'Made in the USA' reference disappears from Trump phone listing

'Made in the USA' reference disappears from Trump phone listing "Speculation to the contrary is simply inaccurate," a spokesperson told the BBC. But the Trump Mobile organisation says the phone will still be made in America. A "Made in the USA" tagline featured in promotional material for the Trump T1 phone when it launched on 16 June, was no longer displayed on its site as of Wednesday, reporters found. Days after the Trump Organisation announced plans to launch a US-made smartphone, a refe

US, French authorities confirm arrest of BreachForums hackers

U.S. and French authorities have confirmed the arrests of five hackers accused of being behind several major hacks and being part of a notorious cybercrime forum. On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment of British national Kai West, 25, accusing him of being “a serial hacker” known as IntelBroker.

Dell announces new Premium replacement for the XPS line

After going through a controversial branding change that eliminated the beloved XPS name, Dell has launched its replacement.

Mexico’s President Has Had Just About Enough of Elon’s Exploding Rockets

After a string of failed test flights and exploding rockets, Mexico has had enough of its neighboring SpaceX facility. Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is threatening to sue over possible contamination from SpaceX’s rocket launches that sometimes rain bits of debris across the nearby border. During a news conference on Wednesday, Sheinbaum said she was looking into filing the necessary lawsuits against SpaceX’s possible violations, The Guardian reported. “There is indeed contamination,” She

Dell’s new Premium laptops are here, for the XPS rebrand nobody asked for

After scrapping its XPS branding earlier this year, Dell has now launched two of the new “Premium” laptop models that are replacing it. Aside from being refreshed with Intel’s Core Ultra Series 2 Arrow Lake processors, a slightly revised Dell lid logo, and a few other spec changes, the Dell 16 Premium and Dell 14 Premium are nearly identical to the popular XPS 16 and XPS 14 that preceded them. “The new name signals a fresh chapter — one that makes it easier than ever to find the right PC while

The Website for Trump’s All-American Smartphone No Longer Promises It’s ‘MADE IN THE USA’

Earlier this month, the Trump Organization revealed its latest profit-making scheme: the T1, a golden iPhone knockoff that has aptly been dubbed the “Trump phone.” Alongside the new device, the Trumps launched a wireless mobile network called T1 Mobile, which purports to offer unlimited talk, text, and data. Given that Trump is the “America First” president, it was very on-brand for the company to promise that the devices would be manufactured domestically. Given that manufacturing a functioning

Trump Organization scraps 'made in the USA' tag for its gold T1 smartphone

US President Donald Trump uses a cellphone aboard Marine One before it departs Leesburg Executive Airport in Leesburg, Virginia, on April 24, 2025. Trump is returning to the White House after attending a MAGA, Inc. dinner at the Trump National Golf Club Washington, DC.

Trump Phone website trades ‘Made in the USA’ claim for patriotic vibes

TL;DR Trump Mobile has removed its “Made in the USA” claim from the T1 Phone product page. The website now uses vague patriotic language like “American-Proud Design.” Key specs also appear to have changed. When the Trump Organization launched its gold T1 Phone last week, it made clear that the phone was “Made in the USA.” That phrase has now quietly disappeared from the Trump Mobile website, and it’s not the only early claim that appears to have changed. As The Verge spotted, the banner that

After a week, Trump Mobile drops claim that Trump phone is “made in the USA”

The Trump phone was announced last week with a claim that the device would be made entirely in America, and people were rightly skeptical. Trump Mobile's $500 T1 Phone "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," the Trump Organization said in a press release. But with electronics supply chain experts casting doubt on the feasibility of designing and building an American-

Trump Phone Site Drops Its 'Built in US' Claim. Here's All We Know About the $499 Phone

The Trump Organization jumped into the smartphone business on June 16, announcing a $499 gold-hued phone and a mobile phone plan, proclaiming on the Trump Mobile website that device would be "designed and built in the United States." It's a claim that many experts were skeptical about. Now, just over a week later, site has dropped that phrasing. Instead, new wording on Trump Mobile cites "American hands" and "American values" but steers clear of claiming the phone, called the T1, will be made i

Senators reintroduce App Store bill to rein in ‘gatekeeper power in the app economy’

The App Store is back under scrutiny from lawmakers in Washington. A bipartisan group of senators has reintroduced the 2021 Open App Markets Act, a bill aimed at curbing the gatekeeper power that Apple and Google hold over the so-called “mobile app economy.” Here’s what they’re going for. If passed, the legislation would effectively force Apple and Google (who are not specifically named in the text) to allow sideloading, support third-party app stores, permit alternate payment systems, and stop

AI-powered chat summaries are coming to WhatsApp

Meta is adding a new Message Summaries feature to WhatsApp that uses AI to summarize unread messages in a few bullet points. The feature is built on the Private Processing technique Meta announced at Llamacon in April, and claims to let AI work with content in WhatsApp without exposing any of it to Meta itself. Once the feature appears in your app, you just tap on the onscreen banner over your unread messages with that says "Summarize privately" to receive a summary from Meta AI. The Message Su

The Trump Phone no longer promises it’s made in America

When the Trump Organization launched the Trump Mobile wireless carrier, it also launched a flagship phone called the T1 Phone 8002 (gold version). One of the phone’s main selling points was that it was to be made in America. We figured that was unlikely to be true. And we were right: sometime in the last several days, the Trump Mobile site appears to have been scrubbed of all language indicating the phone is to be made in the USA. (Like, for instance, the huge banner on the homepage that says th

WhatsApp rolls out Meta AI-powered message summaries in the U.S.

A couple of weeks ago, WABetaInfo spotted signs that Meta was gearing up to bring AI-generated summaries for WhatsApp messages. Today, the feature is officially live for users in the U.S. Here’s how to use it. Summarization is perhaps one of the most useful applications of generative AI, especially when it comes to quickly catching up on transactional information. Which is why, provided it’s well-implemented, using AI to condense notifications and group chats can genuinely save time. Which is

Bumble is laying off 30 percent of its workforce

The dating app company has reported declining revenues and has lost 90 percent of its valuation since its 2021 IPO. Bumble, the makers of the Bumble Dating App and Bumble For Friends, announced Wednesday that the company will be laying off 30 percent of its workforce, or roughly 240 employees. This comes as dating app companies struggle to perform in recent years. Bumble was once a company worth almost $8 billion, but finds itself worth about 90 percent less today.

HDMI 2.2 standard finalized: doubles bandwidth to 96 Gbps, 16K resolution support

What just happened? Following the standard's debut at CES 2025, HDMI 2.2 has now been finalized by the HDMI Forum. The full spec confirms much of what we heard six months ago, including doubling the maximum bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 to 96 Gbps – more than DisplayPort. While using HDMI 2.2 does not require a new connector, taking advantage of all its best features requires a new Ultra96 cable – a reference to its maximum bandwidth. 96Gbps is double the 48Gbps max bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 and is more th

Apple shoves F1 movie ad into Wallet

Apple's F1 movie opens in theaters on June 27, and the company really wants you to know about it.

When they clicked "Get tickets now," they were taken to a dedicated Fandango link that instructed them to use the promo code "APPLEPAYTEN" as well as use Apple Pay to receive their discount.
