Data storage has become something of a major issue as people begin filling up internal and external storage drives with photos, documents, and videos. Now, T-Mobile’s latest partnership with Google aims to fix the problem with a single deal. The mobile company is introducing a new tier of storage plan that gives customers the 2TB of storage included with its previous tiers, as well as unlimited space for photos and videos in Google Photos.

The deal isn’t live just yet but will be available on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, to all T-Mobile customers. It will be the most expensive storage plan priced at $15 per month, but includes everything and more from the cheaper plans such as full-resolution photo storage, photo-editing tools, VPN services, and extended trials for multiple Google services like YouTube Premium and Google Stadia.

T-Mobile’s partnership with Google seems to be an attempt to push Google One, the company’s paid subscription service that allows users to pay for more storage and other benefits. While Google Photos’ free unlimited storage has been replaced by Google One, T-Mobile’s offering is even better. It allows for unlimited full-resolution uploads whereas Google’s now-defunct offering only did so with “high-quality” pictures compressed by the company’s algorithms. In terms of “bang for your buck” the T-Mobile deal is just about as good as it gets.

When compared to the different tiers of service that Google One offers, the T-Mobile deal is pretty solid. Google One’s Premium tier is cheaper than T-Mobile’s at $10 per month, however, it only offers 2TB of Google storage while T-Mobile offers the entire package of Google One’s Premium services. but with unlimited photo and video space.

Currently, unlimited Google Photo storage is exclusive to the T-Mobile deal. While many of us remember the days of free unlimited space fondly, the reality is that customers need to just accept that it’s a paid service now for anyone looking for more than the 15GB of free storage included with every Google account. Hopefully, similar deals for unlimited Google Photo storage start popping up in the future for other cell service providers, but for now, it’s all exclusive to T-Mobile.

For those curious about the practical benefits of the deal, T-Mobile is offering a free 30-day trial for anyone looking to upgrade their plan.

This new technology could make spotting fake products easier for everyone
Your smartphone could soon tell you if the product you bought is fake
The new system combines three technologies into a single printable label.

Counterfeit goods are becoming increasingly sophisticated, forcing brands to rely on expensive authentication systems that often require specialized scanners or proprietary hardware. Researchers now believe a smartphone could do much of that work instead. A team has developed a new printing system that creates responsive anti-counterfeit labels that are more durable, easier to mass-produce, and can be verified using nothing more than a phone. The research was published in the International Journal of Materials and Product Technology.

At first glance, the technology looks like another incremental improvement in product security. In reality, it addresses one of the biggest limitations of anti-counterfeit systems today: accessibility. If authentication only works with expensive equipment, it becomes difficult to deploy at scale. By enabling smartphone-based verification, the technology could make counterfeit detection practical for manufacturers, retailers, and even consumers.

Sunbird relaunches its iMessage app for Android, three years after a privacy scandal shut it down
Sunbird returns to Android with fixed encryption and an AI assistant on the way.

Sunbird's blue bubble dream for Android users is making another attempt, and this time the company insists it's actually earned your trust. Sunbird Messaging, the app that lets Android users join iMessage conversations without the green bubble stigma, is now available on the Google Play Store after sitting dormant since 2023.

Back then, security researchers discovered the app was sending Apple ID credentials over unencrypted connections and quietly logging user messages through a debugging tool, despite Sunbird's public claims of full end-to-end encryption. The fallout forced both Sunbird and its Nothing Phone partnership to shut down almost overnight.
