Deal alert! Get two LG G5’s for the price of one thanks to Verizon

Add as a preferred source on Google

If you and a friend/partner both need a new phone, now might be the time to get it, especially if you’re a Verizon customer or open to switching over to the carrier. If you add two new lines to your plan and buy an LG G5, you’ll get a second G5 for free.

The promotion isn’t running for long — you have until May 11 to take advantage of it, but if you’ve been holding off on buying a new phone the promotion could be worth considering. Of course, Verizon does say that you have to open two new lines, so if you already have a line you may not be able to take advantage of it.

If you already purchased a G5 from Verizon, you may still be able to utilize the promotion, but you need to have bought it within 14 days — simple add one new line instead of two, and while you’ll make monthly payments on both you’ll get a refund in the form of a Visa gift card. To get two G5 smartphones follow these instructions:

  1.  Add two G5 smartphones to your cart and complete the checkout process. There aren’t any promo codes to fill out during checkout.
  2. Head to www.yourdigitalrebatecenter.com/ with your order details and use the promo code G5-APRILPROMO to complete the process.
  3. Wait for your Visa gift card, which should arrive in between 8 and 10 weeks.

The G5 is a pretty impressive device, and made headlines for its modular design when it was released. The phone has a slot on the bottom that can be use to insert modules for things like extra camera controls, with more modules set to be released over time.

Snapseed 4.2 is making it easier to import Lightroom presets and customise photos
Snapseed just stole one of Lightroom's best tricks, and your editing workflow will thank it
Snapseed App

Google is rolling out Snapseed 4.2 for Android and iOS, bringing a fresh batch of photo-editing features to the popular mobile app. The update adds Motion Blur, better Lens Blur, preset and LUT imports, and a way to discover other photographers’ editing styles, according to this Reddit post.

The biggest addition might be preset and LUT support, especially for users already entrenched in editing workflows using apps like Lightroom. Instead of having to start from scratch with their favorite color treatments, they can now import those looks straight into Snapseed. This rollout is staged, so it may take a while before the update appears on all devices.

Apple admits iPhone Duo is in limited supply, and it’s unclear if you can bag one for your holiday cart

Apple executives rarely say “we can’t predict that” about their brand-new products, so I perked up when one did.

The Cupertino giant has admitted the iPhone Duo is supply-constrained. COO Sabih Khan told investors on Monday’s earnings call that it is “constrained as of today” (via Investing.com).

Apple issues a grim warning as memory costs soar. It seems pricey iPhones and Macs are here to stay
Apple’s memory bill is climbing, and your receipt may follow.
MacBook Pro PROLED XDR laptop

Whether it’s iPhones, iPads, or MacBooks, Apple has already slapped revised price tags on a long list of products. Since these products already cost hundreds of dollars more than they did (especially MacBooks and the Mac mini, which use highly capable M-series chips), I was quietly hoping this was it.

However, during its recent earnings call, Apple ended that hope. The company has warned that memory chip prices are climbing at an “unprecedented” pace, with CEO John Ternus telling investors that costs will be even higher in the December quarter (via The Guardian).
