And say what you will about the T1, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Trump Mobile aren’t gouging their fanbase…not yet anyway. Against all expectations, the T1 is actually well priced when compared to the equivalently specced 512GB U24 Pro, and the only things you give up are the 60W fast charging and your dignity.

That's from the iFixit article. I checked the website and they're currently listing it for $499, whereas Amazon has the U24 Pro 512gb (which I think is what they're saying is the equivalent?) for $699. So maybe it's actually cheaper? But I wouldn't buy either one at this point anyway. The U24 Pro released in July 2024 with the promise of two years of security updates, meaning it'll be out of support in a month. I can't imagine this "new" version will get any support at all.

    Don't forget the chance that he could upload his CP to your phone to blackmail you or frame you for his own crimes at any moment.

    How long ago did people order these ago, and what was the cost then? The price surge on RAM and storage due to AI has already caused the prices of many mobile devices to go up, especially the ones with larger capacities.

    No idea.

    Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if these were manufactured in 2024, and Trump Mobile got a deal on them as unsold inventory of an end-of-life product. But that's pure speculation.
