Trump Mobile's T1 Phone Faces Delays, $59M in Deposits Uncertain

Trump Mobile's T1 gold phone has gone 11 months without a shipment, collecting approximately $59 million in $100 deposits from nearly 590,000 buyers. According to BeInCrypto, the Trump Organization-backed brand has rescheduled the launch at least four times since June 2025, with the latest terms suggesting the device may never exist. The preorder deposit terms updated on April 6, 2026, state that estimated ship dates are non-binding, offering no guarantee of release or refunds. The Federal Trade Commission is scrutinizing the company's marketing practices.
