Overview

  • The official website still shows the original iPhone-style T1 render while a new social post depicts a different, Galaxy Ultra–like device.
  • Trump Mobile’s messaging has shifted from “proudly designed and built in the US” to vaguer patriotic phrasing, and the promised launch window now reads “later this year.”
  • Observers, including iFixit as cited in reports, say the new image appears to use a Spigen case for Samsung’s S25 Ultra, and Spigen replied publicly with a skeptical response.
  • The T1 remains listed for preorder at $499, prompting questions about what hardware customers would actually receive.
  • Reporters describe a growing disconnect that could reflect a mistaken post, a redesign, a rebadged phone, or a possible scam, with no verified manufacturing origin or confirmed prototype.
