    The true test of a Trump Phone is whether or not you are a dumb enough to sign up to get one

      The ‘Suckers and Losers’ plan.

      Edit: I know it’s his idiot offsprings ‘business’ but let’s not pretend the pedophile doesn’t have his tiny tiny grimey hands in it.

    “The technology business is more difficult than some may realize, as parts must be tested for quality assurances,” Trump Mobile CEO Pat O’Brien said in a statement to CNET."

    Fucking Pat sounds like a real rocket surgeon

      Makes me wonder what they produce which does not need to be tested for quality assurance …

    Security: As we previously posted, the Trump Mobile website suffered a potential data vulnerability, which might have exposed every customer who made an online account to buy this phone. It’s also unclear how long anyone can safely use the Trump phone itself: while Samsung and Google offer seven years of Android OS and security updates for their phones, Trump Mobile hasn’t said how many years of software updates the T1 will be receiving, if any.

      Sadly databreaches are likely to happen on virtually any site you submit your information to. Companies don’t care about security because no one holds them accountable for their failures. Probably especially this site though, because its basically a list of just the biggest suckers in the world.

        Companies in EU do care because of GDPR. It’s no joke.

          Does EU actually enforce that? And if so, how?

            Yes. Member states issue fines. The maximum is the higher of €20m or 4% of global annual turnover.

            It’s currently a significant part of the Irish economy. They have issued the largest fine to date, €1.2 billion against Meta in 2023.

      Lol as soon as he gets his money he’ll lose all interest, I’d be surprised if any update are going to be tested and made available at all.

      I don’t think it’s true Samsung updates their phones for 7 years. Maybe for the premium lines.

          Thanks. Seems only the absolute premium (the S series) gets the full 7 years updates.

    I mean it’s just an Android doesn’t it. It’s not like the Trump family made their own OS, which would at least have left us with a funny story.

    The Trump Phone has a waterfall display design that was popular on Android handsets three to five years ago.
