  • Trump Mobile released new renderings of its T1 smartphone, priced at $499, featuring a conventional vertical camera layout, replacing the previously triangular design.
  • The company's website no longer provides a release date for the T1, prompting customers to 'Join the Waitlist' after multiple delays since its initial June 2025 announcement with an expected August release.
