The Trumps really are launching a smartphone. But many of their promises about the American-made T1 phone are impossible.

The iPhone 17 might have to share space with an unexpected upstart when it inevitably launches in September: the Trump Mobile T1 Phone. And instead of Rose Gold, the T1 will arrive in, naturally, a pure gold-colored finish.

Officially, Trump Mobile is a licensing venture with the Trump Organization, but the president's fingerprints are all over it, starting with the $47.45 monthly service price.
