Recent NBC News Article

NBC News reported on November 24th 2025, that Trump Mobile customers have been waiting months for their promised ‘Made in the USA’ smartphone, originally announced for August 2025 delivery. The T1 phone was marketed as domestically produced, but delays and vague updates have raised skepticism. Notably, references to ‘Made in the USA’ have been removed from the company’s site, and early images suggest the device resembles existing Chinese-made models. This situation underscores the complexity of building smartphones in America without established infrastructure.

In fact, NBC ran a national feature on our CEO, Todd Weaver about the complexity of creating a phone with Made in USA Electronics from scratch: Trump organization announces a $499 smartphone built in the U.S.
