Trump Mobile's T1 Phone now costs $250 more

Trump Mobile’s flagship T1 phone now lists for $749, a $250 increase from its original $499 price, surpassing the cost of the iPhone 17e. The hike was noted by The Verge after the company quietly updated its website, with no official explanation offered. Industry-wide RAM shortages and prior statements that the $499 price was introductory suggest the rise, while a teardown revealed the device is a reskinned HTC handset rather than a U.S.-made product.
