My favorite part about this, this is mostly a shout out to Dom Preston on our team, who has heroically stayed on this beat far longer than any sane person would.

Dom basically caught an in-progress rollout of the new Trump mobile website and basically bug fixed it in real time by writing about it on our website.

And one of the things that he found, he wrote a really good story about it.

We'll link to it in the show notes.

But one of the things that he found is new photos, a new design for the phone, which he saw first on a Zoom call with a Trump mobile executive, I think in February.

He was on the show talking about it at the time.

The phone has a has a new design.

It does not sort of scream any other particular phone.

It does look a lot like the HTC U24 Pro.

It screams HTC U24 Pro.

What are you talking about?

Does it?

Okay.

It's an HTC U24 Pro.

Yeah, no, you're right.

It kind of does.

I'm putting my fake dollars on the line here.

It has a different camera bump, but you could fake your way around the camera bump.

But at any rate, this phone is now gold.

They've made one, I would say, terrific design decision, which is that the enormous T and then subscript 1 that was on the back that took up like a third of the back of the phone is now gone.
