Trump Mobile T1 Gold Phone Delay: Fourth Shipping Deadline Missed in 2025
Trump Mobile misses its 4th shipping deadline for the $499 gold T1 smartphone. The company blames the government shutdown for delayed FCC approvals.
A golden promise is turning into a persistent headache for buyers. Trump Mobile, the wireless venture spearheaded by Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, has postponed the delivery of its $499 gold-colored T1 smartphone once again. According to reports from Boing Boing, this marks the fourth time the company has missed its promised shipping window.
Trump Mobile T1 Gold Phone Delay and the FCC Hurdles
The company is pointing the finger at Washington for the latest setback. They've stated that the ongoing government shutdown has stalled essential FCC approvals required for mobile devices. Without these regulatory green lights, the company claims it's legally unable to ship the handsets to customers who've been waiting for months.
Mounting Skepticism Over Hardware Viability
Critics are increasingly skeptical about the venture's ability to navigate the complex world of consumer electronics. While the $499 price point and flashy gold aesthetic generated significant buzz, the reality of manufacturing logistics and regulatory compliance seems to be catching up. This latest delay raises questions about whether the venture is a serious tech competitor or a branding exercise struggling with operational reality.
