Trump Mobile phone deposits may not guarantee device production

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Trump Mobile has updated its terms to suggest the gold Trump phone may not be produced, a year after taking $100 deposits from customers. The company's fine print now states that a deposit only offers a conditional opportunity to purchase if the device is eventually offered for sale. This change comes as the phone's release has been repeatedly delayed, with no new date currently available on the website. AI

IMPACT Minimal direct impact on AI operators; features 'AI face unlock' but is primarily a consumer product news story.
