T-Mobile has new price lock guarantees for you, alongside a special offer too good to pass up
T-Mobile, the 'un-carrier' that was recently in hot water for some price hikes, is now offering new price lock guarantees. The company has just acquired internet service provider Lumos, and is now offering its fiber services in various new locations across the United States.
Customers who get T-Mobile Fiber receive the same download and upload speeds, enjoy T-Mobile Tuesdays, and are promised a five-year price lock guarantee. Additionally, you won't have to pay any installation charges or equipment fees. As if all of that wasn't enough, the internet plans that T-Mobile is offering are actually quite reasonably priced as well, in my opinion. T-Mobile Fiber plans consist of the following three packages: 500 Mbps for $80 a month
1 Gbps for $95 a month
2 Gbps for $110 a month
However, if you have a T-Mobile voice line and agree to use autopay, the above prices drop down to $60, $75, and $90 a month respectively. If you don't have a voice line with the carrier but still agree to use autopay, the prices see a discount of $5 per month. Each of these options awards you a five-year price lock guarantee.But, there's more!

If you're eligible for this offer, T-Mobile will give you a 2 Gbps plan at a ridiculously low $70 a month with autopay, and without the need for a voice line. The cherry on top is the whopping 10-year price lock guarantee for this plan.
If I had to guess, this offer is probably only going to be available in locations where AT&T and Verizon are offering fiber services as well. It's a steal at that price, and I know I would have switched in a heartbeat. However, T-Mobile 's largest two competitors offer some killer plans in certain locations — like $20 a month for 300 Mbps with Verizon — and customers will have to be convinced to make the jump.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room. A lot of T-Mobile 's users have complained in recent months that the company increased the prices of their price-locked plans. Furthermore, these new guarantees do not include taxes and additional fees, as the carrier continues to phase out all-inclusive plans. I don't blame anyone who's skeptical of the new price lock guarantees. But I have to be honest, $70 a month for 2 Gbps is a really good deal. Ultimately, though, it depends on how much you care about having the most bandwidth in your neighborhood.
T-Mobile Fiber plans will become available to U.S. customers starting tomorrow on June 5. Switch to Total 5G+ Unlimited 3-Month plan or Total 5G Unlimited and get a free iPhone.

This budget carrier now supports Android smartwatches, but only if you use this watch
Receive the latest Android news By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy Comment byu/VisibleCM from discussion inVisible One Reddit user pointed out a possible reason why Pixel Watches were prioritized. Citing a comment from the US Mobile CEO, they noted that "Google actually put in a lot of the legwork themselves to get the Pixel watch working on Verizon MVNOs like US Mobile and Visible." That might explain why Samsung support is still unavailable. It's also worth noting that Google's Pixel devices are often sold unlocked directly from Google, making them more common on MVNOs like Visible. In contrast, Samsung wearables are often sold through the big three carriers. Right now, only Pixel Watch 2 and newer LTE models are supported. It's a limited start, but one that signals Visible is finally expanding its Android offerings beyond phones. For now, Samsung Galaxy Watch users will need to wait, but given the popularity of those devices, it seems likely that broader support is on the way.

According to the company, the new feature allows Pixel Watch users to link their devices for an extra $10 per month on the basic Visible and Visible+ plans. If you're on the top-tier Visible+ Pro plan, the smartwatch feature is included at no additional get started, users need to pair their Pixel Watch with their Android phone , then open the Pixel Watch app. From there, go to Watch Settings > Mobile Network. When prompted, sign in to your Visible account and follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup. At this time, Visible is not selling any compatible smartwatches directly, so users must bring their own the update is a step forward, some users were quick to notice what's missing. There's currently no support for Samsung Galaxy smartwatches, which are among the most widely used Wear OS devices. Many in the community hope Galaxy Watch support will be added soon.

Apple is holding its annual Worldwide Developers Conference next week where we'll see its latest operating systems which are expected to see a major visual overhaul and new naming scheme. According to a new report from 9to5Mac, watchOS 26 will offer third-party widgets in the Control Center. This has been a longtime request for Apple Watch users who have so far only had access to Apple's first-party apps and toggles in the drop-down menu. Users will also be able to fully customize the widget placement on their smartwatch via the Apple Watch app on their iPhone. Source

iOS 18's adoption rate just blew past iOS 17's
iOS 18 seems to be liked by many and according to an Apple statistic, it's outpacing iOS 17 adoption during the same timeframe last year. Right now, according to Apple's data, iOS 18 is installed on 88% of iPhones introduced in the last four years – this means the iPhone 13 and newer models. Overall, 82% of all active iPhones are running iOS 18 . The adoption of the current OS has grown significantly since earlier this year. Back in January, 76% of newer iPhones sported iOS 18 while 68% of all iPhones that are active were running it. Image Credit - Apple On top of that, it turns out that iOS 18 is more popular than iOS 17 . Back in June 2024, 86% of newer iPhones (those introduced in the last four years) had installed iOS 17 in comparison to 77% of all iPhones. In the iPad department, iPadOS 18 is currently being enjoyed on 81% of iPads introduced in the last four years and on 71% of total active iPads. iPadOS 18 is also enjoying a more rapid adoption rate than iPadOS 17 in June of last year. Back then, 77% of newer iPads and 68% of all iPads were running iPadOS 17. Image Credit - Apple One of the reasons for this faster adoption could be Apple Intelligence tools like Writing Tools, Genmoji, Image Playground, and notification summaries. After all, these features were the main selling point for iOS 18 (of course, the promised context-aware Siri too, but that's not coming now and people know it). Apple's iPhones are known for their longevity, and one of the main reasons for this is the regular software updates. Older iPhones get new functionality with iOS updates at the same time as other, newer iPhones (not everything, though, sometimes hardware limitations stop some of the new features). On top of that, Apple frequently addresses security vulnerabilities and bugs with timely updates. The Cupertino giant says older iPhones getting new features for multiple years is an experience exclusive to the iPhone. This is mainly due to the deep integration between the hardware and the software. Software updates are a way to give value to iPhone customers over a long period of time and also enable people to use an iPhone for years while still getting some of the new experiences. Now, Apple is gearing up to introduce the next OS next week during WWDC 2025. Reportedly, the new OS may not be called iOS 19, but instead iOS 26, and the jump is said to be motivated by the year (2026 being, I guess, the year when this new OS will mainly rule). Reportedly, the new OS may bring a visual redesign and may be quite big. According to rumors, the oldest iPhone that will be able to install iOS 26 is the iPhone 11 (but this is not confirmed officially just yet). The software experience and these timely updates are one of the main reasons I'm sticking with iPhones personally. I like the fact that I can rock an older iPhone as a daily driver and still get a fast experience and new features at the same time as someone with a brand-new iPhone 16 gets in my opinion, is one of the many strategies Apple uses to keep people loyal to its brand. The software updates and the seamless connectivity with other Apple devices are what had me hooked at the start too. And still keeps me pretty hooked, if I may add. On the Android front, it seems Android 15 adoption is slower this time around. But we have a huge market there, with many makers who have skins on top of Android and all types of different devices, so it's understandable that an Apple rate of adoption may be close to impossible. Meanwhile, One UI 7's rollout (Samsung's Android 15 -based skin) and its slow progress and delays could also be impacting the overall Android 15 adoption.
