If you’re switching to Verizon and still on contract, you’d better have some cash

Add as a preferred source on Google

Making the switch from one carrier to another used to be a money-laden affair, but U.S. carriers have done a better job of minimizing the blow by offering financial incentives to make the switch. However, don’t count Verizon as such a carrier, reports FierceWireless.

Apple Offer: Trade up to a new iPhone for as low as $10 a month

Confirmed by a Verizon spokesperson, Big Red will no longer pay up to $650 in early termination fees (ETFs). The now-defunct promotion, which Verizon launched last December, gave customers up to $300 in credit when trading in their smartphones, as well as up to $350 for the ETF you might need to pay your current carrier. If you weren’t on a two-year contract and instead were on a device payment plan, Verizon would pay up to $650 toward your remaining balance.

Considering how big of a promotion Verizon made its ETF payment out to be, this is an interesting step for Big Red to take. Verizon could very well bring the promotion back to life sometime in the near future, though we will note that T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T still offer their own ETF promotions to would-be customers on other carriers.

For the time being, however, customers will have to be satisfied with up to $300 in credit for those who trade in their current smartphones and decide to buy and activate a new line of service with Verizon. In addition, Big Red will hand out 2GB of free data to its customers who use Android Pay, Google’s mobile payment service in the same vein as Apple Pay. More specifically, 1GB of free data will be added to the next two billing cycles if you use Android Pay twice, with an additional gigabyte of data for those who use the service a third time. The latter promotion expires on June 14, with customers having until July 13 to use the extra data.

MediaTek’s next flagship processor is already trailing Qualcomm in an early CPU showdown. Geekbench 7 results put MediaTek’s MT6995, expected to launch as the Dimensity 9600 Pro, behind Qualcomm’s SM8975, which is tipped to become the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, in both single-core and multi-core performance.

The MediaTek chip scored 3,242 in single-core and 11,132 in multi-core testing. Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship reached 3,582 and 12,247, giving it roughly a 10% lead in both tests.

Apple just gave millions of older iPhone owners another year of free satellite safety features
Apple promised two free years of satellite access back in 2022, and four years later, it still hasn't actually started charging anyone for it.
iPhone SOS Feature

Usually, footnotes are all about burying bad news from a launch event, something that will hit people where it hurts. But Apple did the opposite with its recent launch. 

Buried in a footnote in this week's iPhone 18 Pro release is good news, specifically for old iPhone users: Apple just extended free access to its satellite-based safety features.

iOS 27 arrives on September 14 with Siri AI, Liquid Glass refinements, new safety features, and a handful of performance improvements.
iOS 27 beta 2 update on iPhone

Apple spent plenty of time talking about its shiny new iPhone 18 Pro models this week, but you won't need to buy a new phone to get one of its biggest announcements. iOS 27 officially arrives on September 14, bringing Apple's long-awaited Siri overhaul to supported iPhones. Apple first showed off iOS 27 at WWDC in June, and the software has spent the past few months moving through developer and public betas. Now, the finished version is almost ready for everyone.

Plenty of smaller changes are scattered throughout iOS 27, but Siri AI definitely grabs all the attention. This isn't just Apple adding a few new commands to the existing assistant, either. Siri has been rebuilt to better understand what you're asking and, more importantly, handle multi-step requests.
