Trump’s phone may be delayed: the official website has removed the shipping date.

The highly publicized Trump phone may be in jeopardy. Its official website has quietly removed the specific shipping date, only vaguely stating “later this year.” Nearly 600,000 consumers who pre-paid $59 million are at risk of losing their money .

In June 2025, the Trump Organization announced the launch of the Trump Phone (T1), spearheaded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, priced at $499. The phone was touted as a “patriotic choice” and sold for $499 (approximately 3,401 RMB).

The phone emphasizes the “Made in America” ​​concept, featuring a gold color scheme and the American flag logo, full of political symbolism. The default wallpaper upon startup is “Make America Great Again,” and it is scheduled to be released in August of the same year.

The configuration includes a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, a 5000mAh battery, a triple rear camera, and Android 15, along with bundled mobile communication services such as unlimited texting and roadside assistance.

The official website initially emphasized that it was “entirely made in the United States,” but a week later it deleted the relevant statement and changed it to “a design that makes Americans proud.” Later, the CEO of a US-based mobile phone manufacturer exposed that it was actually manufactured by a Chinese company.

Even more embarrassingly, the advertised specifications have been downgraded, such as the screen being changed to 6.25 inches and the 12GB RAM label being removed, raising questions among consumers about the product’s sincerity.

Even so, the phone’s official website continues to accept a $100 deposit, promising to lock in a “promotional price” of $499, and has updated its terms of service to define the deposit as a “conditional purchase opportunity,” with the company reserving the final decision on whether to produce the phone .
