特朗普移动公司表示，其镀金手机即将开始发货，距离该公司首次公布这款设备的计划已近一年。
“T1手机现已到货！！已预购T1手机的用户将收到更新邮件。手机将于本周开始发货！！”该公司周三在社交媒体帖子中写道。
此次宣布之际，这款售价499美元的手机的推出遭遇了延误。该公司去年曾表示，发货推迟是因为美国政府停摆。今年4月特朗普移动公司更新预购条款，称支付100美元定金“不保证一定能买到产品”，此举也引发了消费者的担忧。
特朗普移动公司未回应置评请求。
特朗普移动公司首席执行官帕特·奥布莱恩告诉《今日美国》，手机将在未来几周内送达。他补充称，首批T1手机在美国组装，后续机型将使用本土制造的零部件。
特朗普移动公司2025年6月公布这款手机时曾表示，设备将在美国本土生产。该公司官网目前称，这款设备“由美国创新塑造”，并依托“美国团队指导设计与品控”。
专家提出质疑
更新后的特朗普移动公司预购条款引发了消费者法律专家的质疑，他们指出，支付定金的消费者并不能确保能买到手机。

预购条款中写道：“若特朗普移动公司后续自行决定发售该设备，预购定金仅提供有条件的购买机会。定金并非购买款，不构成订单接受，不形成销售合同，不转移所有权或产权权益，不分配或预留特定库存，也不保证一定能生产或发售产品。”
凯斯西储大学商法教授埃里克·查菲表示，此类措辞表明该公司只是在提供“有条件的购机机会”。
“他们的措辞显然是为了明确说明，双方并未形成任何合同义务，”他说，“首先，这意味着预购的用户实际上是向该公司提供了一笔每人100美元的无息贷款。”
专门处理消费者欺诈问题的律师丹尼·卡伦表示，预购条款对公司有利，而非消费者。他还指出，条款并未保证手机可在所有地理区域使用，或兼容所有移动网络。
“愿意的话任何人都可以支付定金，”卡伦说，“但就条款而言，在我看来它们过于偏向公司一方了。”
Trump Mobile says its phone will ship this week, almost a year after announcing the device
May 14, 2026 / 3:50 PM EDT / CBS News
Trump Mobile said it is beginning to ship its gold-toned mobile phone, almost a year after the company first unveiled plans for the device.
“The T1 Phone has arrived!! Those who pre-ordered the T1 Phone will be receiving an update email. Phones start shipping this week!!!,” the company said in a social media post on Wednesday.
The announcement comes amid delays in the $499 phone’s rollout, which the company said last year had been pushed back because of the U.S. government shutdown. Consumers have also raised concerns after Trump Mobile updated its preorder terms in April to say that making a $100 deposit “does not guarantee that a device will be produced or made available for purchase.”
Trump Mobile didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Trump Mobile CEO Pat O’Brien told USA Today that the phones will be delivered over the next few weeks. He added that the first T1 phones are assembled in the U.S. and that models will use components manufactured domestically.
When Trump Mobile announced the phone in June 2025, it said the device would be built in the U.S. The company’s website now says the device is “shaped by American innovation” and relies on “American teams helping guide design and quality.”
Experts have questions
The updated Trump Mobile preorder terms raised questions among consumer law experts, who noted that consumers who put down a deposit for a phone weren’t guaranteed a device.

“A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the device for sale,” the preorder terms stated. “A deposit is not a purchase, does not constitute acceptance of an order, does not create a contract for sale, does not transfer ownership or title interest, does not allocate or reserve specific inventory, and does not guarantee that a device will be produced or made available for purchase.”
Such language signals the company is providing a “conditional opportunity to buy a phone,” said Eric Chaffee, a business law professor at Case Western Reserve University.
“Their phrase really is intentionally done to make almost crystal clear that no sort of contractual obligation is being formed,” he said. “First off, the fact that what it means is that individuals who have preordered, what they’ve done is given this company a no-interest loan of $100 each.”
The preorder terms favor the company over the consumer, said Danny Karon, a lawyer specializing in consumer fraud issues. He also noted that the terms don’t guarantee the phone will work in all geographic locations or with all mobile phone networks.
“Anyone is free to make a deposit if they’d like,” Karon said. “But as far as the terms and conditions are concerned, they’re weighted too heavily in favor of the company for my liking.”
