Trump Mobile has started offering pre-owned Apple iPhone 14, Apple iPhone 15, and Samsung Galaxy devices at prices above typical market values. The move comes after the troubled development of the company’s flagship T1 Phone, which generated significant online attention but remains unavailable. Following the announcement of its mobile network service earlier this year, the Trump Organization has begun selling refurbished devices. The pre-owned Apple iPhone 14, originally released three years ago, is listed at € 489, around 35% higher than the average refurbished price of € 400 on major retail platforms. Analysts agree and note that these prices are largely influenced only by the branding and of course not on device specifications.
Internet reacts to pricing
The company has faced scrutiny for selling used Apple and Samsung models at inflated prices while promoting the T1 Phone as a premium alternative. Online discussions highlight that consumers could obtain newer used Apple iPhone and Samsung devices for lower prices through other network providers, challenging the value proposition of Trump Mobile’s current offerings.
Conclusion
SecondaryMarket.news thinks that selling used and refurbished devices is becoming really mainstream, as Trump, rarely associated with eco-friendly initiatives, is actively promoting them via Trump Mobile. Affordability remains the main reason consumers choose pre-owned devices, especially among those subscribing to Trump’s network.
