flag Trump's new $499 T1 smartphone delayed due to supply chain issues from the U.S. government shutdown.

flag According to the Financial Times, supply chain problems related to the recent U.S. government shutdown have caused Trump Mobile to postpone the release of its $499 gold-colored T1 smartphone, which was originally scheduled for year-end 2025. flag The business, which was founded in June 2025 by Donald Trump's kids, still takes $100 deposits but hasn't released a revised delivery schedule. flag Given that the United States lacks substantial domestic smartphone manufacturing capacity, the device—marketed as a high-end, "proudly American" alternative to Apple and Samsung—faces difficulties. flag Despite continuous operations and a $47.45 monthly service plan, logistical challenges and a fiercely competitive market make it uncertain whether the venture will be able to meet future delivery targets.
