Overview

• Trump Mobile removed explicit “Made in the USA” claims from the T1 Phone website, replacing them with phrases such as “designed with American values in mind” and “brought to life right here in the USA.”
• A Trump Mobile spokesperson insists that “T1 phones are proudly being made in America” and rejects reports suggesting otherwise.
• The T1’s advertised screen size has been reduced from 6.78 inches to 6.25 inches and earlier mentions of 12GB of RAM have been dropped without new specifications provided.
• The promised shipping window has shifted from September to “later this year” and customers must place a $100 deposit on the $499 handset.
• Experts estimate a fully American-made smartphone would cost over $3,000, and analysts have linked the T1 to a Chinese-made REVVL7 Pro 5G, raising doubts about its domestic origins.
