they moved the position of the light LED nearby the camera. That's a surprising amount of effort for something that even has the wrong number of stripes on the american flag

I'm probably just going blind, but I can't see this moved LED light. The layout of the two images looks identical to me.
It's worse than having the wrong number of stripes. There's the right number of stripes on there, because he's using his name as the bottom stripe.
He's basically saying that he's more important than Georgia.
That's kinda crazy. HTC stopped making phones then kinda sorta started again but not in the US
"CT scanners are woke" - Trump supporters, probably
So far, the ONLY benefit I've seen about this phone is that of you go into the developer options, you can immediate jail break it.
Obtaining root isn't jailbreaking, it’s just taking full control of your linux-based system :)
Jailbreaking is so called because you have to escape the walled garden (jail) of apple products, which is a challenge because they wrote their own code. Not a problem you really have with android to begin with. You don’t even need root for most of what you want to do with android.

I want to install an app in September
You don't need root for that. Just use a third party rom, like Graphene, Lineage, etc..
You need bootloader access which is arguably a higher permission than root
Well, you won't need root for that
most of what you want to do
why are you defending proprietary software?
Jailbreaking does not only refer to apple products. It just means overcoming software limitations set by the manufacturer. Rooting an android phone is also jailbreaking
To be fair, it kinda originated in the Apple world
rooting it or unlocking the bootloader?
Does this count as drop shipping?
I mean, is it even shipping?
Drop skipping
Kinda sucks because I am legitimately interested in a gold HTC phone.
What if you bought an HTC phone and printed a case with Gold TPU?
This creates an interesting question.
How much cheaper than the base price would it have to be for you to willingly carry around a Trump branded phone that's so immediately recognizable that everyone you meet will know what you're using?
I'd like to say I'd stick to my principles here, but cases cost $10. Worst case I'm in a red state, wouldn't be proud of it, but a bit of maga camo would make my life easier.
This technique is like an average bootleg phone you can buy from mainland China
OK but isn't HTC's reputation pretty good? Or maybe used to be...
So far I always heard the T1 would be some even cheaper no-brand from China.
OTOH, it could still be exactly that - a no-name rip-off of the HTC U24 Pro. The article actually supports that: the boards are the same but not identical. Like somebody used the same plans, not the same factory.

The article literally says:
Digging deeper into the phone reveals more of the same. As in the same component shapes, the same component placement, the same screw placements, and even the same anti-tamper sticker placements. Do you know what else is likely to be the same? The factories that made these parts. The biggest clue? The mainboard itself.
Does it matter? This phones like 2 years old lol
I know 8yo phones that still receive updates.
I wonder how the Trump phone will handle this. Not at all, I suspect.
Its not about that, its about this "new trump phone" being some old phone being sold as new
GSMArena lists it as being available on the market.
The T1 is not exactly this device; from the article I get the impression it's built from the same plans, but in a different factory.
It's fairly common for any smaller batches produced mobile devices to be a bit slow to develop & hit the market.
It's still a grift and a rip-off, but the phone having been on the market for just under 2 years is not the worst part.
It won’t, and the people buying this thing won’t know any better.
I'm going back to an old LG phone after my current phone dies. There really has not been much real progress in hardware or software, more like loss of features and controls with new updates these days.
Does using the same plans imply using the same parts, e.g. the processor, which usually is the limiting factor for providing updates.
Wait, wasn't HTC banned from US sales due to security concerns about Chinese devices?
You're thinking of Huawei. HTC is a Taiwanese company that used to be a major player among Android OEMs, but their business dried up and they exited the global market. I didn't even know they were still making phones, to be honest.
Or ZTE
You are correct. I had a ZUK phone at the time, it kicked ass. Miss that little thing...
I think I'm thinking of ZTE, the change was like 2016-2017.
I had a ZUK phone at the time, and it was amazing. Lenovo bought them and incorporated them, and my Lenovo phone was also excellent but useless in the States due to using different bands/lack of software for the West.
