Trump Mobile has failed to deliver on some early promises, according to the latest report from The Verge. The report revealed the near-final design of the T1 smartphone and found some major changes in pricing and manufacturing.
The Verge spoke with Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas, two of the three executives behind it Trump Mobileabout the company’s first smartphone, which will get a more expensive price tag and no longer boast of being made in the USA. Thanks to a screenshot from the report, we can see that the latest T1 design has also changed the camera array, which was first similar to the iPhone but now has three cameras in a misaligned vertical stack.
About the price, said Hendrickson The Verge that anyone who paid a $100 deposit would still pay $499 total for the T1 as an “introductory price,” but that later customers could fork over $999. Tomas also revealed that the T1 smartphone will undergo “final assembly” in Miami and will no longer be “proudly designed and built in the United States,” as seen in the introduction press release. Instead, the website now features a description that says, “with American hands behind every device.” We still don’t have a release date – and we still don’t have a final price – but the website still claims that the T1 smartphone will be released “later this year.”
