Where is the Trump phone?

A decidedly real, existent phone.

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

In lawsuit you’ve forgotten, the T1 is simply a precise 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 aboriginal told USA Today that the motorboat had been delayed to October.

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

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

Trump Mobile ne'er responded to my petition past period for an update connected the 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 present connected whether I’ll beryllium backmost present successful different month’s time, inactive asking: wherever is the Trump phone?
