T-Mobile’s John Legere says it’s time to deck the halls with Un-carrier spirit

It’s the so-called best time of the year, and John Legere is driving the T-Mobile hype train at full speed. After handing out gifts to existing customers, as well as Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon customers, the T-Mobile CEO released two videos this week wishing everyone a happy holiday. Dissing the competition is what Legere does best, so it can’t be a surprise that he took the time to do that as well.

The first video has Legere leading a chorus of popular holiday songs, only the words have been changed slightly. Okay, they were changed dramatically. Jingle Bells has been changed to Sprint Like Hell and Santa Claus is Coming to Town is now The Un-carrier is Coming to Town. You will also hear newer versions of The Little Drummer Boy and Deck the Halls.

Also, you can share the video via Twitter for a chance to win a cool prize from T-Mobile, if you use the #10DaysUncarrierContest hashtag. T-Mobile will pick one winner each day from December 14 through December 23 for various prizes like smartphones, chargers, Bluetooth speakers, smartwatches, and more.

Happy Holidays and THANK YOU from @JohnLegere & @TMobile

Legere followed up with yet another video today thanking customers for a fantastic year. This video show him baking cookies frosted with the un-carrier deals that T-Mobile cooked up during the year. Legere reminds us that T-Mobile is the fastest growing wireless carrier, has the fastest 4G LTE network, is on the top of JD Power’s care list, and ranked number one with Consumer Reports.

Or course, Legere noted that none of this could be achieved without the best customers in the world. More than 28 million new customers joined T-Mobile since the Un-carrier program started.

Wait a minute, didn’t Legere have anything to say about the other carriers? Of course he did. Legere took the time to bake a few special cookies for AT&T and Verizon. He promised to send AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson and Verizon CEO and chairman Lowell McAdam a few. We’re sure they can’t wait.

Samsung may give the Galaxy S27 Ultra a major eye comfort upgrade
A new leak suggests Samsung could add DC dimming to reduce OLED flicker on its next flagship phones.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone in blue color.

Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra are shaping up to look quite different from the current generation, but the changes underneath may not be nearly as dramatic. Camera processing is reportedly being tweaked for warmer, more natural-looking photos, while certification filings point to a much-needed battery bump.

A fresh leak, however, points to an upgrade that could matter a lot more to people with sensitive eyes. Tipster WalleGalaxy claims Samsung will introduce DC dimming support on the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra, potentially moving away from the PWM-only approach it has relied on for years. The current Galaxy S26 series still uses PWM at around 480Hz and offers no DC-like flicker reduction option.

Apple is preparing an unusually large retail push for the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone, with flagship stores expected to feature dozens of hands-on demo units and dedicated displays. The aim is to give customers a proper look at the foldable device before deciding whether it is worth the premium price.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning more than 150 demo units at its Fifth Avenue flagship in New York City. The Apple Park Visitor Center is expected to have nearly 100, while stores on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, the Grove in Los Angeles, and Manhattan’s Upper West Side could each receive around 30 to 40 units. Smaller stores are expected to have roughly 20 demo devices.

Apple could add a personal touch to its upcoming iPhone Duo launch, letting buyers see their names on the screen the first time they turn on their new phones. According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, Apple retail stores in the US will have a system to customise the device’s initial greeting, so it displays a message such as “Hello, Mark” instead of the usual generic welcome.
