A proposed phone associated with Trump is unlikely to materialize.
Photoshopped gold, fake specs, and $100 preorders — the Trump Phone story has it all.
The fact that they're taking $100 deposits for a phone that doesn't exist is a red flag. Tech experts will confirm that a new cell phone cannot be developed from the initial design to shipping in only three months.
Trump Mobile's website continues to say that the T1 will be available "later this year," but that message has been there for a while. The company's most recent update was in August, and their inboxes have been silent ever since.
As it stands, the Trump Phone serves as a lesson in vaporware politics, demonstrating a promotional campaign that took advantage of loyalty rather than technology. It might be stored in a warehouse with the Cybertruck's reputation and unsold Freedom Phones.
For the majority of people, it is merely an illusion. An illusion that will set you back a hundred dollars.
