Trump Mobile’s origins trace back to a boxing star and an MVNO pitch

Trump Mobile didn’t originate with the president; executives say Liberty Mobile pitched the idea, echoing Liberty’s earlier Canelo Álvarez project. Canelo Mobile, launched in 2020, was an MVNO using budget hardware (Hotpepper) and boxer-branded apps, tied to Liberty Mobile. Trump Mobile later pushed for its own hardware in Miami to differentiate, but remains an MVNO-focused business with premium pricing and questions about value. The piece traces how branding, partnerships, and hardware ambitions shaped both ventures.

Trump Mobile's T1 Gets a Fresh Look, Higher Price, and No USA-Made Claim

The Verge showed a new model of Trump Mobile's T1 phone with a redesigned camera layout and a waterfall-edge display, upgraded internals (Snapdragon 7-series, 512GB storage), and a price still under $1,000. The company has dropped the original claim that the device would be made in the USA, noting final assembly in Florida under a “favored nation” arrangement. A $100 deposit can lock in a $499 price for some buyers, but the final price for new buyers remains unclear, with a March release window discussed.

Trump Mobile’s T1 Phone nears launch after redesign and delays

The Verge reports that Trump Mobile’s T1 Phone appears real-ish after a redesign: executives showed a prototype in a video call, with a larger 6.78-inch waterfall display, Snapdragon 7 series, 5,000 mAh battery, 512GB storage plus up to 1TB microSD, and 50MP cameras. Pricing has shifted to an early $499 'introductory' price for deposits, with later buyers paying less than $1,000. The device is about six months late, awaiting T-Mobile certification after FCC clearance; final US assembly remains a goal, not a done deal, with a relaunch and final specs/images promised in coming weeks.

Trump Mobile's Gold Smartphone Launch Delayed Again Amid Government Shutdown

Trump Mobile has delayed the launch of its gold-colored T1 smartphone, blaming the US government shutdown for disrupting shipments and regulatory processes. Originally scheduled for release in late 2023, the device's delivery has been pushed to January 2024, amid ongoing operational challenges and changes in marketing claims about US manufacturing. The company operates as a virtual network using existing carriers and has faced criticism over its supply chain and production claims.

Challenges in Marketing US-Made Smartphones Amidst Industry Competition

The Trump Organization has removed the 'Made in the USA' label from its new gold T1 smartphone, citing doubts about American manufacturing capabilities, despite claims from a spokesperson that the phone is proudly made in the U.S. The device's specifications have also been altered post-announcement, raising questions about the manufacturing claims and the company's transparency. This move comes amid ongoing efforts by Donald Trump to promote domestic manufacturing in the tech sector.

Trump Family Launches Trump Mobile with Luxury $500 Gold Smartphone

Trump Mobile launched a $499 T1 Phone with questionable specifications and unclear details, along with a mobile plan called The 47 Plan, both of which raise concerns about transparency and quality. The phone's specs are inconsistent, and the service offers limited information, making it a questionable choice compared to better, more reliable options available in the market. Overall, the products seem hastily assembled and not worth the high price, especially given the lack of refunds and clarity.
