New Trump Mobile T1 Images Contradict Each Other, Casting Doubt on the Phone’s Reality

Repair experts say the ads repurpose third-party product shots, raising concerns about whether the T1 shown so far is genuine.

Overview

  • Trump Mobile’s site still shows an earlier Revvl-like, iPhone-style image while new social posts depict a Galaxy S25 Ultra lookalike and even an iPhone 16 Pro Max, according to AppleInsider and GSMArena.
  • iFixit identified a visible Spigen case in the S25-style promo, indicating the image was edited rather than a photo of original hardware, and Spigen publicly reacted.
  • Marketing language about origin has shifted from “designed and built in the US” to vaguer phrases such as “proudly American” and “with American hands behind every device,” recent posts and reports note.
  • Preorders remain open at $499 based on a published spec sheet that matches an inexpensive Revvl model, and the listed delivery window now reads “later this year.”
  • Reporters say no verifiable T1 hardware has been shown, fueling concerns that the product may be a rebadge or purely marketing until a real device is demonstrated.
