Trump Mobile Changes Fine Print After Taking Deposits for Non-Existent Gold Phone
A year after customers placed $100 deposits for a Trump-branded gold phone, not one has shipped, and recent changes to the preorder terms and conditions have raised concerns about their eventual delivery. The company, T1 Mobile LLC, updated its terms to state it “does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase,” making the deposit a conditional opportunity at the company’s discretion. This update follows multiple release date pushbacks for the “T1” phone, which was initially slated to ship in August 2025. While the phone has reportedly achieved necessary certifications for U.S. release, its features have been redesigned multiple times, and its advertised “made in America” origin has shifted to “designed with American values in mind.”
