Trump Mobile Lists 'Renewed' iPhones and Samsungs at Above‑Market Prices

The site describes the refurbished devices as “brought to life in the USA,” with the unverified T1 still taking preorders.

Overview

  • Trump Mobile’s store now features refurbished iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models priced at $489 and $629, alongside Samsung Galaxy S23 and S24 listings at $369 and $459.
  • Macworld notes Apple’s Certified Refurbished iPhone 15 is $529 and Amazon Renewed offers a 128GB iPhone 15 for about $490, undercutting Trump Mobile’s pricing.
  • The product pages describe the renewed phones as “brought to life right here in the USA,” a phrase widely criticized on social media for implying more than standard refurbishment.
  • The new listings arrive as questions persist about the T1 phone, whose public images and shifting specifications have been flagged by outlets as digitally fabricated.
  • Despite the doubts, Trump Mobile continues to accept T1 preorders at $499 with a $100 deposit, and operates service as an MVNO using major U.S. carrier networks.
