    No, they said it’ll be made in the USA and they wouldn’t lie and we definitely have the infrastructure to build it and for sure we can do that and still hit a low price of $500 when premium brands like the iPhone 16e cost even more despite being manufactured in the best electronics manufacturing environment hub in the entire world, China.

    Why is everyone so critical of a lying grifter selling a bullshit product with a bullshit service that’s clearly full of lies? Everyone is being too hard on him. Remember when tariffs were imposed on everyone and now all iPhones are made in the USA and our industrial manufacturing bounced back to wear it was before the 1980s? Cause that happened.

    You can’t cure stupid. Stop trying.

    When these are out, I wouldn’t be surprised non-Apple, non-Samsung phone brands start getting outlawed.

      I think outlawed is less likely. Probably insanely taxed so only the wealthy can afford them. Everyone else needs to use the Palantir T1 mobile spying device or else

      Thanks for the information. I’m going to be shopping for a phone soon and I’ve been using Metro PCS. I guess I’ll be looking at other options.

        Is irony dependent onto he audience?

        His cult will believe the made in the USA sticker that gets slapped on them, so from their perspective finding out should be irony.
