The T1 gets yet another new look
According to new reporting from The Verge, the redesigned site features the same T1 phone that executives showed off during a video call with the outlet back in February. The gold finish and American flag on the back remain, but the oversized T1 logo is gone. You can also spot a vertical camera array with three lenses, curved edges, and a headphone jack up top.Specs have reportedly jumped too: a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz, a Snapdragon 7-series chip, 512GB of expandable storage, and 50MP cameras front and rear. On paper, this is technically an upgrade from the entry-level phone originally pitched at $499.
A polished storefront with some telling cracks
According to the source, the relaunch of this website didn’t exactly go smoothly. When the site went live this morning, pages reportedly loaded with preproduction test URLs, and the deposit page still showed the outdated render from last June. A pricing error even suggested $499 is just the deposit, not the full price.
A pattern that’s getting harder to explain
This is the third or fourth round of news surrounding the T1, and thus far, not one unit has shipped. The phone missed its August 2025 launch, missed year-end, missed a reported March 2026 window, and is still collecting $100 deposits.
A prettier website doesn’t ship a phone
I want to be fair, the site does look better and the design has evolved. But when a company has blown through every deadline, walked back its manufacturing promise, and still won’t commit to a ship date, a nicer storefront doesn’t move the needle. The question isn’t “when is the T1 coming?” anymore. It’s whether it’s coming at all.
