1:12Now PlayingTrump Mobile says its smartphones are beginning to ship to customers — nearly a year after the company first began taking orders.
The gold-colored T1 smartphone was initially promoted as “Made in the USA,” but that language was later dropped after analysts questioned whether the phones were actually manufactured domestically.
Trump Mobile tells NPR current phones are assembled in the U.S., while future models will use more American-made parts. The company also updated its pre-order terms, saying $100 deposits did not guarantee customers would receive a phone.
