Trump Mobile’s T1 Phone Heads Toward Shipments After Year-Long Delays

Trump Mobile says its Trump-branded T1 smartphone will begin shipping to preorder customers within weeks, ending almost a year of delays tied to manufacturing shifts and questions of legitimacy after updated preorder terms sparked scam allegations. The device has been redesigned with better specs, with promises of US-made components in future models; preorder deposits of $100 were credited toward the $499 price, and customers remain on a waitlist as the company seeks to fulfill orders.
