The rumored iPhone 5C and 5S are real, folks. The 6 was a total false flag. Slightly more unexpected was the keeping in place of the iPhone 4S as the free option while the 5 was retired outright. While the 5 was, according to Apple, the most rapidly adopted iPhone, it’s clearly too high-end of […]
T-Mobile really, really wants to be your cellphone carrier. First, there was the announcement of the new UnCarrier pricing, where high-end phones like the iPhone 5, Blackberry Z10, Samsung Galaxy S 4, and HTC One are $99 up front with monthly payouts.
