Trump Mobile now anticipates its $499 gold T1 smartphone will ship later than expected, blaming U.S. government shutdown-related delays for missing the original year-end target.
Trump Mobile has delayed the launch of its $499 U.S.-made gold T1 smartphone, initially slated for year-end, due to disruptions linked to the U.S. government shutdown. The company said shipments are unlikely to occur this month, pushing back the timeline for its flagship device, which was introduced as part of the Trump Group's broader initiatives.
