Buy an HTC 10 before the end of July and get $100 off, plus your choice of free accessories

Add as a preferred source on Google

The world is going crazy for deals, so why wouldn’t HTC want to get in on the fun with a price reduction for its HTC 10 smartphone. Any time before now, you’d have laid down $700 for an unlocked HTC 10, but from July 12 until July 31 you’ll only spend $600, a sizeable $100 saving over the usual price.

That’s a great deal on perhaps one of the more overlooked flagship smartphones of 2016. However, HTC’s not finished yet. It’s also adding in free uh-oh protection, which is HTC’s stupidly named warranty, that’s way more beneficial than the name may suggest. If you break the screen, of send the HTC 10 to a watery grave, then the company will replace it for free.

Amazingly, HTC’s still not done. Once you’ve bought the HTC 10 and you’re armed with proof of purchase, then HTC will give you $100 credit towards accessories you buy from a supporting retailer or outlet. Just to recap. That’s $100 off the HTC 10, $100 of credit towards some accessories, and a free replacement if you do something silly with it between now and this time next year. Not bad at all.

Should you buy it? We rated it highly in our review, noting its gorgeous design and fast fingerprint sensor, plus the stunning 5.2-inch 2560 x 1440 pixel screen. A Snapdragon 820 with 4GB of RAM provides the power, and Android 6.0 is installed with only minimal interference from HTC. Oh, and did we mention how good it looks? Get this phone in your hand, and you won’t want to put it down.

To get the offer from HTC you’ll need to buy the phone unlocked through HTC.com, where you can choose the exclusive carbon grey color scheme instead of the usual silver. The unlocked model will work with AT&T and T-Mobile, or there’s a version for Verizon and Sprint available too. The promotion will end on July 31.

Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.

The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.

Apple is investigating cracked screens on the iPhone Duo and replacing broken units
Apple assures that not all units of the iPhone Duo are affected by the display issue.

Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.

Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.

Apple quietly hopes to end the gizmo right-to-repair war. The iPhone Duo is the latest specimen.
The right-to-repair movement has entered its fine-print era.

Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.

I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
