Teardown Confirms the Trump Phone Is a Gold-Painted HTC U24 Pro

iFixit cracked open the Trump Mobile T1 and found exactly what the exterior suggested: it's a gold-painted, rebranded HTC U24 Pro, a phone manufactured in Taiwan, not America. The teardown is a straightforward piece of parts-identification journalism, and the answer it arrives at is about as surprising as finding out a hot dog is mostly not what's advertised. Worth reading for anyone curious about what's actually inside the $500 novelty.
