i bet that’s the “assembled in the usa” bit. putting the battery in the phone

Or putting the phone in the box with the charger and manual.

It’s for sure that’s all they’re doing.

Motorola and Google made a big deal about building a factory to do actual assembly in North Texas, and it still failed within a year.

If HTC/ trump were doing anything close to that they’d be screaming it from the hilltops.
