Trump Mobile<\/p>\n
Trump Mobile’s golden T1 Phone now costs $749. That’s a $250 price hike from $499, making the T1 more expensive than the\u00a0iPhone 17e. The price hike was first reported by The Verge<\/a>, which also noted that the provider didn’t make an announcement about it and just quietly updated its website.<\/p>\n While Trump Mobile didn’t explain why the T1 now costs a lot more, tech companies have been raising the prices of their products across the board recently due to skyrocketing costs of RAM<\/a>. No one is safe from\u00a0the\u00a0RAMageddon, which is what people are calling the memory chip shortage problem currently plaguing the electronics industry due to massive AI buildouts. In fact, Apple just increased<\/a> the prices of older iPhones by $100, almost three months after it raised the prices of iPads<\/a> (by up to $200), MacBooks (by up to $500) and its\u00a0Mac Studio computer (by up to $1,300).\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition, the T1’s price increase seems expected.\u00a0Trump Mobile’s execs previously said<\/a> that the $499 price tag was just introductory and that buyers could be paying $999 for it in the future.\u00a0Take note that an iFixit teardown had revealed that the phone isn’t made in the US<\/a>, which\u00a0Trump Mobile initially claimed, and is pretty much a reskinned version of an HTC handset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You\u2019ll have to pay $749 for a Trump phone.
