Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a smartphone branded as a "Trump Mobile" or "T1" phone, developed and marketed by the Trump Mobile entity, is officially available for purchase by the general public (i.e., non-beta testing, commercial release) prior to November 7, 2028, the date of the next United States presidential election.

For the purpose of this market, "officially available for purchase" means the device can be bought directly from the official Trump Mobile website or an authorized retailer, and is being shipped to customers. If the phone is never released, or if it is released on or after November 7, 2028, the market will resolve to "No."

Official confirmation of the device's commercial release via news reporting from major reputable media outlets (e.g., Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg, or major technology journalism platforms like The Verge or CNET) will be used to determine resolution.

Background

Trump Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) launched in June 2025, is managed by T1 Mobile and uses a licensed brand from The Trump Organization. The company has publicly discussed the development of a flagship smartphone, often referred to as the "T1 Phone," since the brand's inception.

The project has faced multiple delays and revisions since its initial announcement. Marketing claims regarding the phone's origin—specifically assertions about it being "made in the USA"—have been significantly altered and softened in company materials over time. As of early 2026, the company has continued to sell mobile service plans and refurbished third-party devices, while the release of the custom "T1" hardware has remained pending. The next United States presidential election is scheduled for November 7, 2028.
