Trump Mobile T1 Phone Delayed Again, No Longer Boasting "Made in USA"
The Trump Mobile T1 phone, initially slated for a September launch, has been delayed yet again. This golden-colored smartphone, designed for the budget segment and promoting “American values,” was first expected in August but missed that date as well. As of now, the product page only mentions a vague promise of a release “later this year.”
Key Updates on the Trump Mobile T1:
Initial Promises and Feature Changes
The T1 was initially marketed with a 6.78-inch screen and a "5000mAh long-lasting camera". However, the specs have since been revised: the phone will now feature a 6.25-inch screen, and the camera details have been clarified, though the original description has been removed for clarity.
Pre-order Issues
Consumers who placed a $100 deposit to pre-order the T1 are still waiting for their devices, as delivery has not yet occurred. The delay has left many wondering when, or if, they will ever receive their orders.
Manufacturing and Branding Shift
In June, Trump Mobile quietly dropped its claim that the phone was “Made in the USA.” Instead, the company now states that the phone is "designed with American values in mind" and that it is built by “American hands behind every device.” This shift in language leaves many questioning the phone's true manufacturing origins.
Pricing and Availability
Once released, the Trump Mobile T1 is expected to be priced at $499. However, with the delay and changes in promises, it’s unclear whether the phone will live up to its original expectations.
What’s Next for the Trump Mobile T1?
Although Trump Mobile has yet to provide a clear reason for the continuous delays, customers who have pre-ordered remain in the dark. With the only information being a vague release window of “later this year,” it appears that Trump Mobile will need to provide more transparency and communication to regain consumer trust.
