Save $50 on the next-gen Galaxy Z foldables with Samsung US's early reservation campaign
The next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled for July 9 and it will bring Samsung's next generation foldables. While you wait, you can take part in Samsung US's early reservation campaign.
The company does this for every major launch – if you sign up for a reminder, you will get $50 Samsung Credit to use when you buy a Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7 or Z Flip7 FE (assuming the latter is available in the US, of course). You can rack up to $1,150 of additional savings (which is usually a trade-in deal). Finally, there is a chance to win $5,000 in Samsung Credit.
Note that there is no obligation to buy anything – you will get an email when the Z-foldables go on pre-order, but you can just ignore it (you will lose the $50 Credit if you do). This sign up is just that, an email reminder.
If that sounds good, sign up on Samsung.com or using the Shop Samsung app. You will need to enter your name and email.

Verizon's ghost $50 Amazon gift cards keep disappearing before they can be claimed
Verizon continues to offer really cool promotions and deals to its customers, and it continues to mess things up. The carrier has been offering a $50 Amazon gift card to numerous users, however, said users often find that the offer has disappeared by the time they try to claim it. Multiple instances of this $50 Amazon gift card deal have been appearing online across social media. Apparently, the Verizon app offers the deal randomly, but then it often throws up an error of sorts that prevents users from claiming the gift card. Sometimes the app gives the user a countdown timer, after which they'll be eligible for the gift card. When the timer runs out, the offer disappears, or the app crashes and then the deal is nowhere to be found. Other times, the Verizon app simply shows the user an error message, and then the offer disappears from the menus. There are dozens of Verizon customers angrily proclaiming that they've been scammed, or that the network company really needs to, ironically enough, fix their network. Verizon remains a dominant player in the U.S. | Image credit — Verizon This isn't anything new for the carrier. In fact, it's almost like Verizon is trying to lose customers. After Verizon's pricing crisis, this sort of thing has become quite an expected occurrence. I have no idea why Verizon is doing this, or if it even knows that this is happening. From what I can gather, the company is desperately trying to retain existing customers. Users keep being offered excellent promotions at random, or when they seem to indicate that they're thinking of switching carriers. However, Verizon 's price increases keep screwing over other users, and deals like the aforementioned $50 Amazon gift card just stop working. Verizon is hardly the only American telecom company that users are displeased with. T-Mobile, despite its rapid growth, has drawn the ire of its customers due to removing plans that included taxes and additional fees. The carrier also recently delisted Go5G plans, and its price hikes and insistence on the T-Life app have angered many a user. However, if random goodies appeal to you, then T-Mobile Tuesdays probably means that you'll be a lot happier with the 'un-carrier'. Hopefully, Verizon will take note of this problem soon, and offer this deal once more to people who missed out due to errors or crashes. The company can't afford to lose any more goodwill, in my opinion. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase Check Out The Offer

This Android 16 feature may finally expose a spying tactic used for years
Android 16 brings a new security feature designed to help users spot potential surveillance attempts. According to a new report, the latest version of the OS can now notify users when their phone connects to an insecure or suspicious mobile network, such as one created by a fake cell tower. These fake towers, often called stingrays or cell-site simulators, mimic real cell towers and trick nearby phones into connecting. Once connected, the attacker can collect data like your IMEI number or force the phone to switch to older, less secure networks like 2G. This makes it easier to intercept unencrypted calls and texts. Although stingrays are often used by law enforcement, they can also be misused by hackers or other bad actors. The report outlines that Google has been working on ways to block these threats for a while. In Android 12, users gained the option to turn off 2G support. Android 14 added protections against unencrypted network connections. Then in Android 15, Google added a way for the system to detect when a network tries to access a phone's unique identifiers or change encryption settings. However, these features depend on support from a phone's modem. Specifically, they require version 3.0 of Android's IRadio HAL (hardware abstraction layer). Because many current phones don't have this, some features are still unavailable — even on Pixel devices running the latest Android versions. However, with Android 16 , Google is bringing back a dedicated "Mobile network security" settings page inside the Safety Center. It includes two main features: Network notifications: Alerts you when the phone connects to an unencrypted network or when a network requests your device's identifiers. 2G network protection: Lets you turn off 2G network support completely. Both options are off by default and only appear if the device's hardware supports them. This is why current Pixel phones won't show the new settings page, but newer models launching with Android 16, like the expected Pixel 10, likely will. If enabled, Android will post alerts in the notification panel and Safety Center. These alerts tell you when your phone switches from encrypted to unencrypted networks and log when a network asks for your phone's identifiers. This is pretty unique considering that Apple does not currently offer a direct equivalent to this where users are warned about fake cell towers or insecure network conditions in real time. However, Apple can enforce certain network-related protections in collaboration with carriers, but these are often buried in carrier settings and not adjustable by the user. Therefore, for Android users, his update will be a small but meaningful step in improving user privacy. While it unfortunately won't help with existing phones, it shows Google is continuing to strengthen Android's defense against silent tracking methods. In my opinion, the real impact will depend on how widely phone makers adopt the necessary hardware going forward. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Will you notice this rumored big change coming to the rear panel of the M5 iPad Pro?
The 2024 M4-powered iPad Pro. | image credit-PhoneArena While many are thinking that it might be too late for Apple to release the M5-powered iPad Pro this year, the tech giant's next top-of-the-line tablet could still be released in 2025. A report out of Korea says that mass production of the tablet's OLED panels by Samsung and LG has started. The device could end up being unveiled in October or November and released in time for the 2025 holiday shopping season. Last year, Samsung supplied Apple with the OLED displays for the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro while fellow South Korean company LG produced the 13-inch OLED panel for the 2024 iPad Pro. This year, reports suggest that both LG and Samsung will each deliver 11-inch and 13-inch displays used on the iPad Pro (2025) models. Last year's iPad Pro (2024) tablets were the first from Apple to replace the LCD panels with OLED. OLED displays offer users a screen with better contrast, darker blacks, and wider viewing angles. Because OLED pixels generate their own light, no backlight is needed for OLED displays. Thus, such screens are thinner and are more flexible than LCD displays. Devices using an OLED panel can save battery life by going into Dark mode. That's because creating the color black on OLED is a matter of turning off a pixel and pixels that are turned off do not need to draw power from the battery. Apple is expected to convert the display on the iPad mini to OLED next year and do the same with the iPad Air in 2027. On the new M5 iPad Pro holding the tablet in portrait, as the M4 model is here, will turn the Apple logo on its side. | Image credit-PhoneArena The biggest change to the M5 iPad Pro tablets will be the use of the M5 processor. The latter will be manufactured by TSMC using its 3nm process node. Besides using the most advanced SoC in Apple's lineup, there is another huge change in store for the upcoming iPad Pro. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said that the Apple logo on the back of the tablet will now be in landscape orientation as opposed to the previous portrait orientation. Those who prefer to hold their iPad Pro in landscape mode might feel better knowing that the iconic Apple logo on the back of their tablets will match perfectly with how they are holding their premium iPads.
