Trump Mobile’s T1 Phone is apparently still coming, but it’ll be uglier and more expensive


Trump Mobile is already failing to deliver on some early promises, according to the latest report from The Verge. The report revealed the near-final design of the T1 smartphone and uncovered some major changes with pricing and manufacturing.

The Verge spoke with Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas, two of the three execs behind Trump Mobile, about the company’s first smartphone, which will get a more expensive price tag and no longer boast being made in the USA. Thanks to a screenshot from the report, we can see that the latest T1 design also changed the camera array, which first resembled the iPhone’s but now has three cameras in a misaligned vertical stack.

As for the price, Hendrickson told The Verge that anyone who paid the $100 deposit will still pay $499 total for the T1 as an “introductory price,” but that later customers could fork up to $999. Thomas also revealed that the T1 smartphone will go through “final assembly” in Miami and no longer be “proudly designed and built in the United States,” as seen in the introductory press release. Instead, the website now shows a description that says, “with American hands behind every device.” We still don’t have a release date — and now we don’t even have a final price — but the website still claims the T1 smartphone will be released “later this year.”
