Apple iPhone 16 Pro Prices Cut In New Offers Before iPhone 17 Release
With just weeks to go before the iPhone 17 series goes on sale (on Sept. 19 — full details here), the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are seeing some serious discounts. Although Apple sells the phones at full price only, there are several U.K. retailers who have knocked £100 ($135) off some iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models. And it's worth remembering that as soon as the new iPhones are announced, likely on Tuesday, Sept. 9, the current Pro models will be immediately discontinued — unless there's a radical change from previous years' policies. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are likely to remain in the range alongside iPhone 17 and will drop in price, but if you want the Pro model, they will almost certainly be phased out. Here are some of the best bargains currently. Electrical retail giant Currys is selling the iPhone 16 Pro with 128GB storage for £899 ($1,220), which is £100 ($135) down on the regular sticker price. The same £100 off applies to the 256GB model, which is £999 ($1,356) instead of Apple's £1,099 ($1,491) price. Same deal for the 512GB model, £1,199 ($1,627), instead of the £1,299 ($1,762) you'll pay Apple. The iPhone 16 Pro with 1TB costs £1,399 ($1,899), against Apple's usual £1,499 ($2,034) price. Meanwhile, John Lewis has similar prices, that is £899 ($1,220), for the 128GB model, £999 ($1,356) instead of Apple's £1,099 ($1,491) price for the 256GB model, £1,199 ($1,627) for 512GB and £1,399 ($1,899) for the model with 1TB storage on board. If either of these retailers is sold out, there's another retailer that is currently matching all these prices to the penny: Argos. Currys, John Lewis and Argos are uniform on their prices when it comes to the larger-sized iPhone 16 Pro Max. The model with 256GB storage, which is £1,199 ($1,627) at Apple, costs £100 ($135) less, £1,099 ($1,491), at all three retailers. For the 512GB storage, £1,399 ($1,899) at Apple, you'll pay £1,299 ($1,762) at John Lewis, Currys and Argos. For the 1TB storage model, which costs £1,599 ($2,170) at Apple, all three retailers have a £100 ($135) discount, taking the price to £1,499 ($2,034).

Starlink Mini users just lost their beloved pause feature
Starlink now charges $5 a month to pause its high-speed, low-latency internet service, a feature that used to be available for free. It affects Roam, Residential, and Priority subscribers in the US, most of Europe, and Canada with lots of exceptions. SpaceX hilariously calls it an upgrade, but I call it a bait and switch for anyone that bought a Starlink Mini with that 'pay as you go' promise. The free pause feature has been replaced with a $5/month (or €5/month) Standby Mode that comes with 'unlimited low-speed data' that's 'perfect for backup connectivity and emergency use,' according to the email sent to subscribers. Some early testing I've seen on Reddit suggests speeds of about 0.5Mbps down when Standby is active, compared to over 100Mbps I usually see on the Roam service. SpaceX has always positioned the Starlink Mini on Roam subscriptions as a 'pay as you go' service, ideal for 'infrequent and individual travel' and 'RVers, campers, travelers, and working on the go.' These are activities that typically have start and end dates. The updated landing page still calls it 'pay as you go' with the inclusion of 'a small monthly fee.' Come on. The best thing about owning a $499 / €299 Starlink Mini is having space internet in a battery-powered device that slips into a backpack. The second best thing was being able to pause it and pay nothing when you return home. Even the paused subscription could be reactivated in just a few minutes in case the broadband connection at home went down. If you — like many — bought a Starlink Mini just for summer travels, it'll now cost you an extra $45 a year for zero added value. The one caveat to all this can be found in a note from the FAQ (emphasis mine): We recently upgraded pause to include Standby Mode. Previously, the pause feature offered zero data at no cost. If pausing with Standby Mode does not meet your needs, you are able to cancel at no cost and restart service on an available plan whenever you're ready. Canceling adds more friction to the process by requiring a visit to the website and answering a bunch of questions while SpaceX tries to dissuade you from cancelling. Standby, like pause before it, can be activated and deactivated in the app with just a few clicks. Nevertheless, I just canceled my Roam subscription rather than paying €5/mth for a Mini I won't be using again until November. In doing so I received a message stating, 'You may not be allowed to reactivate in the future if your area is at capacity.' Sigh. Fingers crossed I can actually restart it when I do need it again. Or better yet, maybe Amazon's Kuiper Internet service will be live — SpaceX clearly needs some competition for relatively cheap and fast consumer internet that can be quickly deployed into data dead from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.

An Ennismore IPO: Can Lifestyle Hotels Impress Wall Street?
If Accor follows through with an Ennismore IPO, it would be a referendum on whether investors will pay up for Instagram moments and craft cocktails over the more familiar returns of big box chain hotels. Wall Street has long valued scale and cost efficiency above all else. But a successful IPO of the lifestyle operator could elevate design, brand heat, and food-and-beverage revenue as credible sources of long-term value. If it stumbles, an Ennismore IPO would reinforce the prevailing view: that lifestyle belongs inside big hotel group systems, not as a standalone business on the public markets. Ennismore, with 180 operating hotels and brands like The Hoxton, Mama Shelter, and SLS, would be the first lifestyle hotel company to go public with this level of scale and ambition. Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt all operate lifestyle sub-brands, but no pure-play lifestyle operator has achieved signific
