The new design may be out, but there’s still no evidence this isn’t just vaporware. Despite the updated design of Trump Mobile’s T1 Phone, with a new spec sheet, there’s no sign of an actual launch. Beyond a potential FCC authorization and one phone sighted via video call, there’s still no proof the Trump phone will ever be released. The phone’s fresh design is displayed on the Trump Mobile site, yet no release date is provided. The site previously mentioned a release “later this year,” but now there’s no mention at all. The pricing remains uncertain. A $100 deposit and a $499 promotional price exist, but changes were hinted during discussions with company executives, with the final price expected to be below $1,000. However, this information is absent from the website. The company’s behavior hasn’t shifted—no press releases, unresponsive to emails, and sporadic social media updates. The updated logo is present on Instagram, Facebook, and Truth Social but absent from the X page. Their online activity is minimal, not befitting a functioning phone company. A new page with terms for preorder deposits clarifies no guarantee of production, availability, or functionality on carriers. This cautious legal wording raises doubts, given the ongoing lack of a phone release. Additionally, the deposit doesn’t lock in pricing or promotions, contrasting the site’s banner urging customers to lock in promotional pricing. The T1 Phone’s existence will only be believed when it’s in hand and available to consumers. Until then, skepticism remains high.
The Trump phone still isn’t real
