T-MOBILE ALREADY IPHONE 6S & 6S PLUS CUTS

Apple just officially announced the iPhone 6s yesterday, but the most hotly anticipated smartphone of the year is already on sale. On Thursday morning, T-Mobile announced that it would be kicking off a limited time promotion in which customers will be able to pick up a 16GB iPhone 6s for $125 off the regular price.

Traditionally, on T-Mobile’s 18-month JUMP program, you’d be paying $649 over a year and a half, but with the promotion, that price will be cut down to $524. After paying $20/month for 18 months, you can either give the phone back or pay the remaining $164 to keep your iPhone 6s for good.

T-Mobile is making the deal even more attractive by allowing customers to leave T-Mobile if they’re unhappy with the coverage they receive from the carrier. All you have to do is tell T-Mobile that you’re unsatisfied, and they’ll unlock your phone for free while letting you continue to pay for the device itself on the 18-month plan.

UPDATE: It’s worth noting that in the fine print of the plan, T-Mobile states the following: “If you cancel service, promotional device pricing, offers, and device upgrades unavailable.” So in other words, if you want to unlock your device and move to a new carrier, it looks you’ll end up paying the full monthly price for the iPhone 6s rather than the discounted rate.

Additionally, John Legere noted in his blog post that T-Mobile has “more than doubled the square miles we cover with LTE in just over a year.” Combine that with the additional spectrum “that carries our LTE signal twice as far from our towers, for a massive coverage expansion, and works four times better in buildings,” and you’ve got a new initiative the “un”carrier is calling T-Mobile Extended Range LTE. No, it’s not anything the other carriers don’t already offer, but it shows that T-Mobile is catching up.

If you’re looking for an affordable way to upgrade to the new iPhone 6s and want to see if T-Mobile’s network is really as great as Legere claims, you’ll be able to preorder the phone on T-Mobile’s website this Saturday.

Galaxy Fold reportedly has a serious display defect that might get you a free screen replacemen

A report early on Wednesday said that Samsung is working on additional foldable smartphones beyond the Galaxy Fold that it unveiled a couple of weeks ago. Samsung is still trying to figure out exploring what buyers will need from a foldable handset while perfecting the components that go into such devices. And it appears that, while Samsung is ready to experiment with different Fold designs, the model that launches this spring might have a serious screen issue. As exciting as first-gen foldable phones may seem right now, we should expect some issues from these first-gen devices, especially when it comes to screen durability. Samsung did say the Galaxy Fold can fold some 200,000 times, and that may very well be the case. But nobody will like seeing creases and screen imperfections appear on the screen. This is, after all, a device that sells for around $2,000, with the screen being its most important feature. If you fold the phone ten times a day, you might see the c...

Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phONE

Samsung teases 'amazing' camera in new flagship phone A month ago, I wrote about the iPhone's camera and how instrumental it is to many of the things that make that bestselling device so appealing. Today, Apple's most direct competitor, Samsung, has reiterated its long history of developing cameraphones and promised to deliver nothing less than "the future of cameras." In a post by Samsung's camera R&D chief DongHoon Jang, the company promises its 2015 flagship phone "will be intelligent and do all the thinking for users, allowing them to take amazing pictures under any conditions, without having to worry about anything more than just pressing the shutter button." Imaging technology has been a traditional strength for Samsung's flagship smartphones, and the latest Galaxy Note 4 has marked an appreciable upgrade after a couple of years of relative stagnation in image quality. Now Samsung seems intent to step things up another not...

Andriod P Is here

Android P is shaping up to be one of the most consequential Android updates in years. Not only is Google changing the way Android is navigated, but it’s also changing the way we interact with our phones — and how our phones interact with us. The big goals of Android P are to make our phones less distracting and less stressful and to give people control over how much of their attention they suck up. It’s all about taking on notification and app overload. Google announced all the big changes of Android P yesterday. You can see an overview of them in our video above. Here are the biggest highlights: APP TIME LIMITS There’s a lot of new stuff in Android P, but for my money, this is the biggest deal. Google is going to show you how much time you spend in every app. And, more importantly, it’s going to let you set time limits on how long you use them. You’ll be able to limit yourself to a certain amount of time every day — say, 15 minutes or an hour. After that time, the...
