Trump Mobile has delayed the shipment of its gold-colored smartphone, the T1, originally set for year-end delivery. The delay is attributed to disruptions caused by the recent U.S. government shutdown. The smartphone, priced at $499, is part of a venture to monetize the Trump name, but details on its manufacturer remain unclear. Customers can reserve the phone with a $100 pre-booking fee, but the U.S. smartphone market is highly competitive, dominated by Apple and Samsung, with most devices produced overseas.
