Trump Mobile begins shipping delayed golden phone this week

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Trump Mobile is set to begin shipping its "T1" golden phone this week, nearly a year after its initial announcement and subsequent delays. CEO Pat O’Brien confirmed that pre-orders, which began last June with a $100 deposit for the $500 device, will be fulfilled over the coming weeks. The phone, running on Android and featuring "AI face unlock," faced multiple redesigns and postponements, with the company now stating it was "assembled in the U.S." and will primarily use U.S.-manufactured components in the future.
