Samsung’s first Android 15 and One UI 7 beta is set to get a release as soon as July 29, according to Max Jambor, a reliable Samsung tipster. What’s notable about the Android 15 beta is just how big it is. According to rumors, we’re expecting several UI and feature changes, including new icons, home screen and lock screen changes, a revamped camera UI, and a version of the iPhone’s Dynamic Island.

Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices. Phones under $500 used to include drab displays, awful build quality, and hardly any software support. But recently, even budget devices have featured OLED displays and years of software support. With so many high-quality options close in price, even a small discount can make a big difference.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are coming in two months, which means it’s not the best time to buy a new iPhone 15. Unless you’re in absolute need of a new iPhone right now, it’s wise to wait until September for either the iPhone 16 or for other iPhones to get cheaper.

If it ain't broke, don't replace it. When was the last time you got a new phone? For me, it was last week. Before that, it might have been three weeks ago. Before that, well, you get the idea — I have some of the best Android phones from the last few years floating around my apartment. In some cases, I have multiple generations of the same lineup, like Google Pixel devices back to the Pixel 6 series and iPhones back to the iPhone 12, and I’ve used them all. It’s a fortunate position to be in, but also one that shows how little tends to change from one year to the next. As someone whose SIM is always on the move, here’s how often I think you should get a new phone.

Even with the discounts from MacBook deals, Apple’s laptops are expensive. However, if you’re just after their timeless designs and you don’t mind going for older models that aren’t brand new, you can get one for less than $150! Here are a couple of refurbished MacBook deals from Walmart that you should check out if you’re interested: the Apple MacBook Air 2015 for only $135, down $20 from its usual price of $155, and the Apple MacBook Pro 2012 for just $140, for $35 in savings on its regular price of $175. You’re going to have to manage your expectations considering the low prices of these MacBooks though — there may be some signs of wear and tear, which shouldn’t be a surprise considering their age, but at the very least, these devices are tested for a guarantee that you’ll receive them in working condition.

Apple looks set to join other streaming TV providers by adding a tier to Apple TV+ that includes advertising. What’s less clear is whether customers will have the option to pay less and watch commercials, as is the case with Netflix and Disney, or if Apple will choose the route taken by Amazon and request that those who don’t want to watch ads pay more.

Folding screens on laptops, tablets and smartphones -- are popular for good reason. They fold up for easy and convenient transport. and then pop open to showcase beautiful touchscreens with more screen real estate than what you get with a more traditional device. You get faster access to more information, and easier ways to use a phone.

We’re still more than a month from the unveiling of the iPhone 16, and already iPhone 17 rumors are stirring up. The most interesting of these is probably the phone some are taking to calling “iPhone 17 Slim,” a new ultra-slim model that seems to break from a lot of the iPhone tradition of recent years. It’s a departure from the normal lineup and it’s something of a gamble for the world’s biggest phone maker.

Update: This deal has expired and is no longer available on Amazon. Instead, you can find the same offer directly on Boost Mobile's website.

The latest variation comes via Boost Mobile, who's selling any iPhone 15 model, including the Pro Max, for just one penny. What's the deal with this deal? I break down the fine print below.
