The T1 smartphone from Trump Mobile remains non-existent vaporware, but the company is still finding new ways to take people’s money. Anyone who desperately wants to fund this sham can now buy a refurbished phone from the company. The business’s website has listings for “Renewed” models of the Samsung S24 and S23 and the iPhone 15 and 14. Gizmodo noticed that Trump Mobile is selling these other brands’ phones for the same cost, or sometimes more, than the same refurbs from other retailers. Seems pretty par for the course.
NBC News opted to order one of the T1 phones in August to track its development. “After confirming with the credit card company that the transaction was not fraudulent, NBC News received a confirmation email verifying the order,” the publication said in a report last month. However, it has not received much communication from the company on why the phone still has not shipped. “Neither Trump Mobile nor the Trump Organization responded to NBC News’ multiple requests for comment on when the phone would be released and why it’s delayed.”
In case you missed the previous acts of sketchiness from Trump Mobile, the company insisted at its debut that the phone was made in the US. That seemed like a dubious claim and the “made in the USA” language was quietly removed from the website shortly after.
