T-Mobile just launched its best iPhone 16 offer ever
If you want to upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro, T-Mobile just launched one of its best deals ever, one that will convince you to switch providers. Right now, there are several different ways you can get an iPhone 16 Pro for free when you switch to T-Mobile and sign up for a new Experience Beyond plan. There are no trade-in gimmicks here, just a free iPhone 16 Pro paired with a stacked and versatile phone plan. Even T-Mobile calls this its 'best iPhone offer ever,' and we can't disagree. How to get an iPhone 16 Pro on T-Mobile So how does this iPhone 16 offer work? Let's assume you have a phone already. If you're still paying it off, T-Mobile will pay the balance for you, up to $800 a line, up to four lines. The best part: You get to keep the phone. This isn't a trade-in offer. Get a new iPhone, pay off your balance, and keep the phone. It's a sweet deal. T-Mobile pays off your phone via prepaid MasterCard credits over 24 months. If you don't have a balance to pay off, or even a phone at all, T-Mobile will still give you an iPhone 16 Pro for free when you switch to T-Mobile and opt for the Experience Beyond plan. What is T-Mobile Experience Beyond? For this offer to work, you need to switch to T-Mobile and add a new line. That makes this a good option for families, which is what Experience Beyond is designed for. T-Mobile Experience Beyond gets you unlimited data in the US and a ton of benefits, including unlimited premium data, 60GB of high speed hotspot data per month, texting and data outside the US, and even some free streaming subscriptions. You'll save at least 20% when you switch from an AT&T or Verizon plan, and your new rate will be locked in for five years. You can use T-Mobile's savings calculator to see exactly how much you'll save. The first big bonus is the ability to upgrade devices. Your devices are all guaranteed to be eligible for an upgrade every year. New iPhones come out quickly, so this is a good way to stay at the cutting edge. The T-Mobile Experience Beyond plan also gets you a ton of data. Unlimited in North America, 30GB per month in Mexico and Canada, 250GB of high speed hotspot data per month, and even access to T-Mobile's beta satellite program, T-Satellite. You and your family will be connected anywhere and anytime. The Experience Beyond plan costs $170 per month for three lines (including the third line for free). When you sign up you get a five year price guarantee, so you don't have to worry about your bill mysteriously increasing after a few months. If you've been eyeing the iPhone 16 Pro, switching to T-Mobile is a great way to get one without paying anything extra. In fact, T-Mobile is covering the balance of your old phone, and letting you keep it too. Check out T-Mobile's iPhone 16 Pro offer on the Experience Beyond plan today.

The Security Cam I Recommend to Anyone on a Budget Is 50% Off
As a longtime reviewer, I've tested a lot of security cameras over the years and no matter what brand or retailer you're looking at, one thing is always true: If you want a camera with premium features, it's going to cost you. Prices for just a single camera can easily run $200 or even more. When you're trying to put together a system with multiple cameras, the total price tag can get out of hand quickly. But the second-gen Arlo Essential 2K cam manages to buck that trend. Right now, it's marked down to just $50 on Amazon. That's a seriously impressive price for a camera that offers many of the same features of Arlo's highest-end models. If you're in the market for more than one security camera, the two-pack is currently discounted by 53%, slashing $100 off of its normal $190 price tag. Even better, Amazon recently updated pricing for more multipacks, and a three-pack of cameras is 48% off. That gives shoppers a lot of options for getting the setup they need at a big discount. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. What I like about the Arlo security camera While testing the Arlo Essential 2K Cam, I found the indoor-outdoor wireless camera performs well. The 2K resolution helps gather plenty of details, it's highly weather resistant and Arlo's app excels at walkthroughs on how to set up and use the cam. Other common features include two-way audio, color night vision and a built-in siren. Arlo isn't done yet. The cam's integrated spotlight did a great job of lighting up my backyard -- and if you prefer other smart home platforms, it plays well with Alexa and Google Home, as well as IFTTT (no Apple HomeKit support at this time, but it's a possibility). For more, here are CNET's picks for the best home security systems. Arlo wins at customization in the home security conversation I liked a lot of what the Arlo Essential does but it's not too different from what many other security cameras do -- just surprisingly affordable. I really like Arlo's UI and smart home integration too, with an app that's easy to understand and pop open for a quick look at your home when you're out on the town (and that doesn't even require a subscription). It's the deeper customization features that really impressed me. Those who like to tinker with their home security setup will love the beta-version custom detection options that come with higher-tier subscriptions, in addition to facial and vehicle recognition. I haven't seen custom setups like this on any other security camera before. In my tests, I was able to "teach" the cam AI to recognize when a pet toy appeared on camera or when certain objects were no longer present. I could also use this feature to tell me when the garage door opened or if something valuable (say, a piece of artwork) disappeared. Likewise, the vehicle detection options can tell if a specific vehicle is pulling up to your home. I've never seen anything else like this for those who really want to push their home security to the limits. Arlo's Essential cam is a great deal but keep in mind Arlo's subscription options. Arlo Arlo cams for yourself or others With Arlo's easy and informative setup process, the Essential camera is a great choice even if you or your family haven't tried a security camera before. As long as a user is comfortable trying out a new app and following the instructions, Arlo is an excellent experience. I rate the app and user-friendliness around Blink's level, another one of my favorite camera apps. With indoor/outdoor placement, the camera is also versatile so you don't have to worry about people not finding a place to use it. You could also spend a bit more to upgrade the camera with an extended battery and a solar panel, an effective combo if you want to avoid manually charging the battery as much as possible. It still needs a Wi-Fi connection but this combo is great for out-of-the-way spots like above my garage door or a high point on roof eaves. If you're thinking about getting this Arlo Essential camera as a gift, keep in mind Arlo locks quite a few important features behind its $8-plus monthly subscription, including smart alerts with object recognition and cloud video storage. So while the camera is usable without fees, there's a strong incentive to pay. Arlo does offer a free trial of its services but that could feel like a bait-and-switch to gift recipients who aren't expecting a security camera. If you want to give the cam as a gift, you may want to add some PayPal or Venmo cash to cover at least several months of a subscription. If you're on the hunt for other options, check out our full list of the best home security cameras of 2025.

They read stories, sing songs, and can just generally be a really solid bit of screen-free entertainment.

This Babbel Deal at StackSocial Is Perfect for Anyone Who Wants to Become Multilingual
Learning new languages can be a fun hobby. This skill can also translate to better job opportunities or travel experiences, which means you can have fun and potentially add a new interesting tidbit to your resume. Anyone with the desire to become a polyglot might take an interest in using a vetted language-learning app, like Babbel. We've spotted a deal that'll get you a lifetime subscription to the app for just $170 right now. The deal will expire in four days, so acting fast is the best way to guarantee lifetime access to the 14 languages available through this software. Babbel's extensive language software includes Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, Swedish, Indonesian, Portuguese and more. Lessons are short, so you won't find yourself overwhelmed with information. The skill levels range from beginner to advanced, and the content is self-paced. Babbel's speech recognition software offers instant feedback so you know where you're going right and where things can be improved, and personalized review sessions help reinforce what you've already learned. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. The Babbel app works on phones and computers, and while you do need an internet connection to get the most out of it, an offline mode gives you access to key features if you download them ahead of time. Why this deal matters A lifetime subscription is always a good way to avoid adding another monthly fee to your growing collection, and it removes the pressure of a restrictive timeline from your learning. Plus, buying lifetime access directly from Babbel would normally cost $599. Even with the current promotion there, this StackSocial deal beats the price by a long shot. Just make sure to order your subscription before this deal ends, and remember that you have only 30 days after your purchase to redeem the subscription. Note: Though this is advertised as a lifetime subscription, there are no guarantees that purchases will be supported for life. As we've seen in the past, a change of ownership, a service shutting down or some other unforeseen circumstance may result in your lifetime subscription ending sooner than anticipated.
