Happy New Year! I hope you got into 2026 safely, and I sincerely hope this is your best year ever. While I can make a lot of predictions about this year — Samsung will launch a Galaxy S26, Apple will launch a foldable iPhone, and the AI bubble will probably burst — one thing I can’t predict is when I’ll actually get the Trump phone I pre-ordered back in June. It’s been nearly seven months since I put down my deposit, and I’ve got literally nothing to show for it.Three months after I placed the pre-order, I wrote an article summarizing what had happened since I hit “Checkout” at the Trump Mobile website. I highly encourage you to read that to get up to speed.
