Trump Mobile Faces Lawsuit Threat After Using iPhone and Galaxy in Ads

A couple of months ago, Trump Mobile was launched, a new entrant in the US carrier scene. Then, the carrier announced its own-branded smartphone, the T1. Unlike phones we've seen from other companies that invest a lot in marketing materials like renders, lifestyle photos, and more, the T1's launch was rather underwhelming. The company has been trying to remedy that with new images, but unfortunately, Trump Mobile just set itself up for a lawsuit.

Upcoming Trump Mobile lawsuit

In an effort to promote the phone on social media, a recent image was shared on X by the Trump Mobile account. The phone had the Trump Mobile logo and the gold color scheme. However, the problem is that it isn’t the T1 that was originally advertised. Instead, it is a Galaxy S25 Ultra with a gold filter and logo on it.

Making matters worse, another post on Instagram showed Trump Mobile trying to advertise itself. However, this time it is clearly an iPhone 16 Pro Max that has been hastily edited with a gold finish and the Trump Mobile logo plastered across its back. This creates a problem with the company as Apple and Samsung might not be too thrilled about these edits.

So much so that we wouldn't be surprised if a lawsuit was filed against Trump Mobile for either misrepresentation or false advertising.

So, what does the T1 actually look like?

Initially, the phone that was posted on the Trump Mobile page was revealed to be the Revvl 7 Pro 5G. This led to speculation that the T1 might actually be a reskinned or rebranded version of the phone. That in itself is kind of dodgy. However, given these recent photoshopped adverts, some are now speculating that the phone on its website might not even be the T1 at all. It could simply be a placeholder.

Trump Mobile went to great lengths to advertise that the phone is made in America. However, that particular phrasing was removed later on. The Trump administration's whole schtick is that it is bringing manufacturing back to the US. If it cannot even make a Trump-branded phone in the US, that's saying a lot.

In any case, the T1 is not yet available for purchase. Users can reserve a unit with a $100 deposit if they are interested. However, whether it will actually be released or end up being vaporware remains to be seen.
