It as a substitute seems moderately suspiciously just like the rear aspect of a Samsung Galaxy S25.
Not simply that, it really seems to be the again of a third-party S25 telephone case from Spigen that has been photoshopped gold and stamped with the T1 emblem and trademark American flag. Nonetheless seen, simply behind the flag, is the Spigen firm emblem.
Spigen’s social media account commented underneath the put up on X with an apt “??? bro what” earlier than writing by itself web page that it had a “lawsuit incoming.” WIRED has reached out to Spigen for remark.
