📌 MAROKO133 Breaking ai: The “Made in America” Trump Phone Appears to be a Disguis

Nine months after it was supposed to ship to consumers, the smartphone nobody asked for is finally here.

Introducing Trump Mobile’s T1, a long-awaited smartphone designed to skim a little cash from America’s most credulous rubes. Announced on June 16, 2025 — the 10-year anniversary of the surreal launch of Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign — the T1 was originally supposed to go out to buyers in either August or September of 2025, depending on which Trump family announcement you read.

Now, nearly a year behind schedule, the T1 is finally here. Select media personalities were the first to get their hands on the product, a 5G smartphone aggressively branded with “Trump Mobile” logos as well as Trump’s signature yellow-gold colorway.

As NBC noted in their review of the phone, the phone comes pre-loaded with Trump’s pet social media company, Truth Social, and features an American flag with only 11 stripes on the back, which is two less than the genuine article. And though early Trump Mobile marketing material pushed the “Made in America” angle hard, a closer look reveals that the T1 appears to actually be a generic smartphone manufactured abroad.

Starting in June 2025, critics noted the announced T1 closely resembled the Revvl 7 Pro 5G, a phone made by the partially state-owned Chinese company Wingtech. As Todd Weaver, CEO of American smartphone manufacturer Purism told CNN at the time: “unless the Trump family secretly built out a secure, onshore or nearshore (fabrication) operation over years of work without anyone noticing, it’s simply not possible to deliver what they’re promising.”

That skepticism proved prescient. In the months since the T1 was first announced, Trump Mobile changed its marketing material to show a different phone entirely. While that seemed to silence critics of the original model, an eagle-eyed Verge reader noted the new unit looks bears a striking similarity to another foreign-built phone, the two-year old HTC U24 Pro.

On top of visual similarities, that phone shares some key technical details with the T1: both feature a 6.8-inch OLED screen, three 50 megapixel cameras, and 12GB of RAM.

Given that HTC is headquartered in Taiwan, it’s likely the T1 is assembled in the same Taiwanese plant as the U24. Still, it remains to be seen where the individual components are sourced from; it could easily be the case that the T1’s bones come from China, which dominates the world in OLED displays and battery cell production.

But until one of the nearly 600,000 customers who preordered the T1 gets a chance to crack one of the smartphones open and document the components found inside, it will remain a mystery as to just how American — or Chinese — Trump Mobile’s flagship device really is. We’ll be watching.

📌 MAROKO133 Hot ai: This Robot Trying to Dance Like Michael Jackson But Wiping Out

An amazing video has been making the rounds today.

It shows a humanoid robot strides out in front of a crowd, busting moves to Michael Jackson’s 1983 smash hit “Billie Jean.” It starts out impressive enough, with the bot pulling off some deft footwork — but trouble starts when it boogies straight into a large step on the stage, sending it stumbling with jerky, inhuman movements.

It almost seems as though the bot is going to recover as it regains its footing and segues into a passable moonwalk, one of Jackson’s most iconic moves. But then it strides back into that dastardly step again, this time wiping out so badly that it crumbles into a lifeless heap as a human technician emerges to drag its inert body off stage.

The video — which the Daily Mail sleuthed out was at an event at a “robot store” called Future Era in Shenzhen, China — inspired predictable online waves of jokes, derision, and pathos.

But it’s also a perfect illustration of the core problem with almost all humanoid robotics demos you see online. Though the clips give the impression that the bots are making incredible strides at pulling off complex moves in dynamic spaces — remember that video a few months back that showed robots tearing up a stage as backup dancers? — the reality is that what we’re typically seeing is a carefully pre-programmed routine.

In other words, everything goes great in these types of demos until the moment something unexpected happens, like the robot in today’s viral video tripping on the step.

That’s all well and good if your goal is to wow an audience, but it shows how far we have to go before robots can do anything practical. Vacuuming or washing dishes seem like simple tasks, but the infinite variables in a messy kitchen or living room all represent unexpected hazards ready to trip up an unprepared robot servant.

Probably the best illustration of the level at which humanoid robots are really operating is a counterpoint viral sensation this week: the robotics company Figure livestreaming one of its own humanoid robots sorting packages on a conveyer belt. It’s a constrained domain — everything is a package, the bot doesn’t need any fancy footwork, et cetera — but it’s still surprisingly clunky, only barely edging out a human intern who competed against it (and who, you might argue, had an incentive to lose to make the company’s tech look more impressive.)

So consume viral humanoid robot content with skepticism. Robots doing acrobatic tricks and slick dance moves are headline-grabbing, but the tech won’t really be world-changing until they can easily do household chores in chaotic environments without messing them up.
