The Trump Organization launched Trump Mobile and announced the T1 Phone 8002, with a $499 price tag. Originally, they claimed it was made in America as of June 2025.

This claim was quickly revised after experts noted the T1 Phone likely resembled the China-made REVVL 7 Pro 5G. This raised doubts about the phone’s domestic manufacturing.

Trump Mobile removed references to “made in America” from its website. It also changed the screen size specifications from 6.78 inches to 6.25 inches, amid vague marketing and unclear shipping timelines.

A spokesperson claimed that T1 phones are manufactured in the United States. However, Eric Trump later clarified that producing the phones domestically is a future objective rather than the current situation.

These developments suggest Trump Mobile is backtracking on U.S. manufacturing promises, while the T1 Phone faces uncertain release timing and skepticism about its authenticity.
