- In June, President Donald Trump’s two older sons held an event at Trump Tower where they touted a new made-in-the-USA mobile phone with an American flag on its back, plus a new wireless service called Trump Mobile. The phone was announced on the 10th anniversary of Trump’s presidential campaign launch and was the Trump brand’s first foray into mobile products and services. According to the initial announcement, the phone was supposed to be released in August. But three months later, there are no signs that the phone has become a reality.
- NBC News placed an order for a T1 phone in August, paying the $100 deposit for the purposes of tracking the $499 phone’s development. After confirming with the credit card company that the transaction was not fraudulent, NBC News received a confirmation email verifying the order. But the company provided no proactive updates after the order.
- The Trump Mobile website has scrubbed any mention of a specific release month, but continues to collect $100 down payments on the promise of availability “later this year.”
- The Verge reported that the phone appeared to be a render of a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
- In late June, the same month the phone was announced, the website removed any mention of “Made in the USA,” as was originally promised.Instead, the website now says the phone is “brought to life right here in the USA. With American hands behind every device,” and that the phone has “American-proud design.”
The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay
Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.
