"The Trump Mobile team shared an ad to X on Wednesday pushing preorders of the T1, but with an image we'd never seen before. You don't have to look hard to realize that this is an S25 Ultra that's been Photoshopped gold with a T1 logo and US flag; looking a little closer confirms that it's a render of that phone in a Spigen case, right down to the Spigen logo they didn't bother to remove."
"Even Spigen noticed the dupe, saying what we're all thinking in its reply on X: "??? bro what" The new X post promises that "The wait is almost over!" for the T1 Phone, which originally advertised launch dates of August and September (one in the press release, the other on the site), but now lists no date at all. The company also no longer claims the phone will be made in the USA, instead saying there are "American hands behind every device.""
Trump Mobile's T1 Phone marketing has used inconsistent renders including a gold-plated iPhone and a Photoshopped Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. A promotional image shows an S25 Ultra recolored gold with a T1 logo and US flag, including a Spigen case and visible Spigen logo. Spigen publicly reacted to the reuse of its case image. The T1 preorder post removed a firm launch date after earlier August and September targets and now lists no date. The company removed an explicit "made in the USA" claim, replacing it with "American hands behind every device." The phone's promised display size shrank from 6.78 inches to 6.25 inches.
