Where Is The Trump Phone?

A decidedly real, existent phone.

Almost precisely a period ago, I wrote an article for theverge.com pointing retired that nan T1 Phone 8002 (gold version) — a.k.a. nan Trump telephone — had missed its promised merchandise date. Now present I americium again, because nan telephone still hasn’t travel out.

In lawsuit you’ve forgotten, nan T1 is simply a very golden mid-range Android telephone that was announced successful June alongside a $47 Trump Mobile wireless plan. The Trump Organization promised an August motorboat successful its property release, but said September connected its website. An unnamed spokesperson later told USA Today that nan motorboat had been delayed to October.

It’s now nan extremity of October, and Trump Mobile has gone suspiciously quiet — it hasn’t moreover posted connected societal media since August 28th, soon aft it tweeted (and deleted) a badly edited image of a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, passing it disconnected arsenic nan T1.

In fairness, for months now, nan store page has only promised an presence “later this year,” a alteration made astatine nan aforesaid clip Trump Mobile stopped claiming nan T1 would beryllium made successful America. That gives nan institution 2 much months to merchandise it and still dress it’s connected time.

Trump Mobile ne'er responded to my petition past period for an update connected nan phone’s merchandise date, and it hasn’t replied to my latest email either. People of lesser religion mightiness interest that this telephone is nary much than vaporware, but I garbage to springiness up. Place your bets now connected whether I’ll beryllium backmost present successful different month’s time, still asking: wherever is nan Trump phone?
