The Trump Organization, run by the oldest sons of President Donald Trump, announced Trump Mobile in June 2025 with promises of a Made in America smartphone and a $499 gold model for customers. One year later, the phone has yet to launch and the original promises have disappeared.

Trump Mobile Update

The Trump Mobile T1 phone launch was delayed in 2025 due to what the Trump Organization said was partially due to the government shutdown.

Other delays and updates for the mobile phone company launched by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have seen the company change its Made in America wording on the website and the pricing for the T1 phone, according to The Verge.

Benzinga reached out to Trump Mobile for comment.

The report from The Verge said the website has been redesigned and includes more prominent placement of the two Trump sons, along with different wording.

Among the other changes are:
• $499 pricing for the phone is gone.
• The "later this year" phone launch wording is gone.
• The phone is now "shaped by American innovation" instead of Made in America or assembled in America.

Executives from the mobile phone company previously told The Verge that the $499 was an "introductory price" that would rise with the relaunch. The executives said the new price will be "less than $1,000," but no amount is found on the website.

The $47.45 pricing for the monthly phone plan remains in place, paying tribute to Trump being the 45th and 47th presidents of the U.S. A 15% discount for members of the military is also listed among the details for the phone plans.

Details for the T1 phone have also changed. Along with remaining gold in color and having an American flag on the back of the phone, the website shows the phone will use the Android operating system from Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG) and a Snapdragon 7 Series chipset from Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:QCOM).

Users who want to be Trump Mobile customers without buying the T1 can bring their old phones or purchase refurbished Apple and Samsung phones from the company, according to the website.

What's Nest for Trump Mobile

The Verge recently highlighted the company receiving FCC clearance to launch the T1, which could put a phone launch and service closer to a reality.

A trademark for "The 47 Plan" was also filed by the Trump Organization's parent company, which includes plans to launch mobile phones, supplies and monthly plans. Gerben IP founder Josh Gerben highlighted in an article what the trademark could mean in the launch timeline, among them being that the move builds on earlier June 2025 filings for trademarks, including Trump and T1.

While the Trump phone and mobile service didn't launch in 2025, recent details could highlight a launch closer to happening.

One of the big questions will be whether the president will promote or comment on the launch, as he tried to keep his distance previously.
