T-Mobile and Sprint offer select LG devices for less under payment plans

Add as a preferred source on Google

On Friday, August 18, both T-Mobile and Sprint announced new summertime deals for customers right before the season comes to an end. If you’ve been eyeing an LG phone lately — particularly the LG G6 or the LG V20 — you could be in luck.

For a limited time, T-Mobile is offering both models on its Equipment Installment Plan. When you add a line as well, you’ll also receive another LG V6 or V20 for free after rebate. To receive the rebate, The Un-carrier is offering a prepaid MasterCard of up to $500 if you register on the T-Mobile Promotions Hub.

If you’re leaning toward the LG G6 which has a full Buy Now , it’s available for $20 down and $20 a month in the Ice Platinum and Black color options. As for the Buy Now that normally runs for $480, the device is available for $0 down and $20 a month in Titan.

Over at Sprint, the carrier has dropped the monthly price for the LG G6 from $29.50 per month to $20 per month instead — under its Sprint Flex plan. The announcement comes one day after the company opened up pre-orders for the Essential Phone in black. For a limited time, the phone is 50 percent off its Flex Lease payments if you purchase the phone under the plan.

The Sprint Flex plan was introduced back in July, in order to provide customers with the latest smartphone without having to shell out a ton of money on the spot. After choosing a phone under the Flex plan, you can lease it for 18 months and exchange it for a new phone. If you’re set on keeping the one you already have, then you can pay it off completely in one installment instead.

T-Mobile and Sprint are slashing prices on its LG G6 and V20 only weeks ahead of the LG V30 launch. Rumored to be unveiled at the end of August or early September, there have already been a number of leaked images surfacing. Based on the renders, it’s very likely the device will be similar to the V20 but with minimal bezels and rounded edges instead. The V30 might also include a dual camera on top, fingerprint scanner on the bottom, and a metallic backing.

Apple wants you to verify your identity before you get Education discount on products
Apple moving the US Education Store off the honor system also seems about making a globally consistent verification infrastructure that could eventually support more aggressive Education Store expansion.

Getting an Apple Education discount in the United States used to be as simple as claiming you’re a student or a teacher; it didn’t need a formal verification. That era is officially over. 

Starting May 8, 2026, Apple now requires formal identity verification for all Education Store purchases in the US, ending the informal honor system that was in place for years (via MacRumors).

Whoop’s response to Fitbit Air and Google Health is real doctors, not just an AI chatbot.
In the race to own your health data, Google chose an AI, and Whoop chose a doctor. That single decision may define which fitness tracker serious health users reach for in 2026 and beyond.
A person wearing the Whoop 5.0.

Recently, Google launched the Fitbit Air as a direct rival to the Whoop screenless fitness band, rebranded the Fitbit app to Google Health, and released a Gemini-powered AI coach. Exactly one day later, Whoop has responded with on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians for US users. 

The contrast is hard to ignore. While Google is betting on AI as your general health advisor, Whoop is doubling down on real, licensed doctors, and making the case that they can serve its fitness-focused users considerably better (via CNBC).

Holograms on your iPhone sound like science fiction. But according to a fresh leak, Apple may actually be working on it. A leaker on X known as "Schrödinger" claims Apple is developing a "Spatial iPhone" with a holographic display, reportedly being built by Samsung.

The display is codenamed "MH1" (Mobile Holographic 1), and the details being floated are quite wild. You should take all of this with appropriate skepticism, though, as none of it is officially confirmed.
