Did you know that the ultra-portable iPad mini 6 with cellular connectivity is available at a stunning discount at Walmart? Well, now you do! For what's likely to be a limited time, the base 64GB variant with 4G support is $143 off its original $649 price, making it the most affordable cellular iPad mini model you can buy right now.For context, Amazon offers the 256GB cellular model in Pink for $120 off its original price, which brings it just under $680. As for the newer iPad mini A17 Pro , it's currently available without any discounts at both Walmart and Amazon.While the iPad mini 6 is undeniably attractive at $143 off, Amazon briefly launched an even better promo last month. If you recall, the 256GB version of the device was $200 off—but that deal is no longer available and might not return at all.Although a 2021 model, this iPad mini model is still quite solid. It features a lovely 8.3-inch fully laminated display with a sharp 2266 x 1488 resolution and pro features like True Tone and P3-wide color. The refresh rate caps at 60Hz, which might not sound inspiring, but the newer iPad mini A17 Pro doesn't offer any improvements on that front.The iOS tablet delivers pretty good performance, considering its size. As we've emphasized in our iPad mini 6 review , the device can run everyday and heavy apps without any hiccups. So, unless you need something insanely powerful, chances are you'd be perfectly happy with this bad boy's performance.Overall, while the iPad mini 6 isn't the latest or greatest mini model out there, it still packs a punch to this day. If you missed your previous chance to save a whopping $200 on the cellular variant, Walmart is now offering a stunning $143 discount that you won't find at Amazon or Best Buy. Grab yours and save before it's too late.

Latest Verizon offer is so good that its legitimacy is being questioned

Verizon is pulling out all the stops to make customers happy. The company is not only revamping how customer issues are handled, but also spoiling them with merch, gift cards, and free lines. If you thought that was the extent of its generosity, think again. The company also has another offer for existing customers. Verizon appears to have a new targeted offer for loyal customers. The company is seemingly giving free iPhone 16 to customers with multiple lines. And even though the offer looks too good to be true, it's legit. —Cigator, Reddit user, June 2025 This appears to be a token of appreciation for loyal customers who have either been with the company for a long time or have many lines on their accounts. The specifics of the offer aren't known but on the surface, it looks like Verizon is letting some customers upgrade to an iPhone 16 for free. The offer is only for one line. The best part is that customers are neither required to trade in a device nor expected to change their plan. Standard terms and conditions do apply though. To learn more about the additional terms, you'll have to reach out to Verizon , but you'll likely have to pay for the iPhone 16 upfront and you'll be reimbursed through monthly credits. Taxes will probably be your responsibility. If your device is on its last legs or you just want a phone with modern specs, this offer is seriously tempting. Since the price is reimbursed over 36 months usually, the catch here is that you'll be stuck with Verizon for three years. Given the growing disenchantment with the Big Three, that might be a deal breaker, especially if you have lately found yourself thinking about a switching. However, if that's not the case and you are happy with the company, you should consider the offer. Verizon has signaled that it wants to serve customers better and while customers aren't necessarily as happy about the company using Google's AI models to improve customer care are handled as its leadership, most likely still appreciate the lengths it's going in order to keep them happy.

At first this sounds amazing, but dig in deeper in the leaks, and you'd find out that the cost of that new camera is lower-grade image sensors for the remaining two fact, the main and ultra-wide cameras are said to be the same ones that the Pixel 9a is using… Not great news considering we are talking about a $300 price difference! That would be even worse if the rumors of a $100 price hike for I'm here to argue that we shouldn't be too quick with our start with the alleged 'downgrades.' Google is moving from the Samsung GNV and Sony IMX858 — both flagship-tier sensors — to the Samsung GN8 and Sony IMX712. These newer components are smaller and less capable in terms of dynamic range and low-light performance. But we've seen what Google can do with limited hardware which uses similar camera components, is a perfect example. Despite its budget-friendly positioning, it scored 134 in our PhoneArena Camera Score, with strong marks in photo quality and impressive zoom results thanks to Google's Super Res Zoom. It wasn't perfect, but it punched far above its Google applies the same computational magic to the(now with a new Tensor G5 chip) it could extract even more from these 'inferior' parts. And that brings us to the most interesting possibility of all: macro to early rumors, themight take a smart, hybrid approach to macro photography — automatically switching between its new telephoto and ultra-wide cameras based on how close you are to the subject. This could dramatically improve detail and accuracy in close-up shots of textures, small objects, or even tiny insects — an area where most smartphones still fall macro isn't a camera feature many people ask for. It's not exactly the best one for candid family photos or capturing memories on a trip. But personally, I've always had a soft spot for it. There's something special about discovering an entire hidden world through your the leaks are accurate, this hybrid system could give thea serious edge in close-up photography — maybe even better than what the iPhone Pro can is where the's new camera layout starts to make more sense. Personally, I've found telephoto cameras far more useful than ultra-wides. A telephoto camera is useful for portraits, framing landscapes so that there are no distractions, and even for figuring out text that's far away. Most ultra-wide cameras, especially on non-Pro phones, suffer from weaker image quality and distortion prioritizing zoom and letting the ultra-wide step in only when needed, Google might be giving users a smarter, more intentional camera setup. That doesn't mean ultra-wide is useless. But it does mean we're getting a phone better suited to real-world shooting scenarios.I like what Google is doing here — there's no need to go for the best and most expensive image sensor if you can offer the user more by keeping things moderate. I see this as Google focusing on making the camera more adaptable and useful for those who don't want to pay the extra buck for a Pro could be looking at the most creatively flexible base Pixel yet. I might not be the sharpest shooter, or the most advanced one — but maybe it will be the one that makes you want to go out and take more photos. And I am willing to bet money that it once again punches above its weight despite the 'downgrades.'

The Thin Phone Fallacy: Why Apple and Samsung are ignoring the only smartphone rule that matters

Why? As sleek as these devices look, they violate the cardinal rule of smartphone success: "don't give users bad battery life!" Poor battery life is the capital sin of the mobile world. We've seen this movie just a few years ago, with the 2020 iPhone 12 mini. The world loved its compact size, but nobody could live with the constant battery anxiety. Not surprisingly, Apple killed it after just two generations. Remember the not so distant days of 'wall huggers' just scanning every room they go into for a power outlet? Or that one friend who turned their bag in more than just a bag — a mobile charging station, tangled with cables and bulky power banks. Those were NOT happy times. And Apple's idea in 2025? An iPhone 17 Air with a 2,800 mAh battery. Well, the thin phone formula in 2025 might be different than the mini one, but leads to the same dead end: a sleek-looking phone with a battery that dies by... 5pm. The light weight is a nice trick—you might forget the phone is in your pocket. But the moment you start using it, there's still no escaping the reality of the big physical size. A thin phone with a big screen is still a big phone, and it won't win over anyone who misses truly compact devices. A New Path is Possible While Apple and Samsung try super slim phones, OnePlus tries super-battery phones (Image by OnePlus) At the same time, other parts of the industry are proving there's a better way. What if a compact phone could have... incredible battery life? This isn't a fantasy, even if it may sound like one. Brands like OnePlus are showing that you don't have to choose between a manageable size and a massive battery. Take the OnePlus 13s (aka OnePlus 13T), a 6.3-inch phone, same size as the compact iPhone 16 Pro or Pixel 9 Pro. However, thanks to clever engineering and different priorities, OnePlus includes a 5,850 mAh battery inside that phone. And this is not even one of those cutting-edge silicon-carbon batteries, it's just a regular cell (the Chinese-bound 13T model uses silicon-carbon and comes with an even higher 6,200mAh capacity). This is proof that a compact phone can have amazing battery. It is proof that settings different priorities can yield much better results for the end user. So why are Apple and Samsung ignoring this? Is it a genuine design obsession, or are they simply unwilling to build a smaller phone with a great battery because... it might threaten the fat profit margins of their "Pro Max" and 'Ultra' behemoths? I'll just leave this question here for you to ponder. The other weak spot: performance iFixit teardown shows Samsung was desparate to add at least some cooling to this design (Image by iFixit) I usually wouldn't care too much about performance (most flagship phones these days are powerful enough), but a recent iFixit teardown of the Galaxy S25 Edge reveals just how desperate Samsung was in its attempt to introduce at least some cooling to the 5.8 mm thin design of the phone. A CT scan of the S25 Edge reveals how the vapor chamber directs heat to... the cell itself. This is not uncommon, but it results in higher temperatures hitting the battery not just during charging, but also even with just average use. The result is your battery getting exposed to temperatures way above the recommended 30°C, and ultimately, not only worse battery life, but faster battery degradation. Talk about a double whammy. Power users and gamers will also notice this with heavy workloads, but that is not even my first concern here as even the regular user can feel it. An inevitable encounter with reality Whatever the reason, the market is brutally practical. No amount of marketing glamor or launch-day hype can save a phone that dies before dinner. Imagine you're on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, hiking for hours to reach the perfect sunset spot. You take out your phone and… the screen is black. All of that sleek design is totally worthless at that moment. Or even worse, imagine relying on that phone to navigate back home. A super-slim flagship with an inflated price and a mediocre battery isn't just a bad product; it's a fundamental misunderstanding of what people want from a device they depend on.
