Visible has a new offer that can help you save significant money when switching to its service. Both Visible and Visible+ packages are now available for purchase upfront on an annual basis. These new annual plans are available for new Visible customers starting today, while existing customers will gain access to them this May.

With this new deal, the Visible+ plan costs $395 per year when paid upfront instead of $540 when paid in 12 monthly installments of $45 each. This means you can save $145, which is 26%. That’s an incredible savings. When paying upfront for the regular Visible plan, it will cost $275 per year, saving you $25. If you pay for it monthly, the standard Visible plan costs $25 per month (or $300 per year).

The new pricing options give you more savings with a Visible+ plan. That plan offers extras like smartwatch service, unlimited use of your phone as a Wi-Fi connection at twice the speed, and One Global Pass day per month. That pass, announced in March, offers unlimited talk and text services and 2GB of high-speed data for a flat rate of $10 per day in up to 140 countries worldwide.

The Visible+ mobile hotspot feature gives users faster speeds, reaching up to 10Mbps. Visible also announced that it will now include its Connection Protection plan as a standard member feature. This program guarantees that if Visible customers experience layoffs, they will receive service credits of $25 per month for a maximum of three months.

As a mobile network operator, Visible offers unlimited data, messages, and minutes for a flat monthly rate. New Visible customers can bring their current devices or buy new ones from Visible, including popular models like the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

It’s also worth noting that Visible’s usual monthly rates aren’t going anywhere. If you prefer to pay for your cell service month-to-month, you still have that option. However, if you can foot a larger bill upfront, these new annual plans are absolutely worth considering.

Apple’s latest iOS 27.2 trick could keep you out of the doghouse
Apple is testing anniversary alerts in Call Context for dates saved in the Contacts app

Apple only started rolling out iOS 27 yesterday, but Apple is already working on the next update, which has a small feature that could prove surprisingly useful. As MacRumors points out, the latest iOS 27.2 beta adds an anniversary reminder to Call Context, which can warn you about an important date just before you place a call.

Call Context itself arrived with iOS 27. We previously covered one of its more delightful tricks, where calling someone on their birthday brings up a reminder along with a small fireworks animation. The iOS 27.2 beta now takes that idea a little further by adding anniversaries into the mix.

I feel like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the right kind of passport foldable
Passport foldables are everywhere now, but Samsung got the proportions right
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable smartphone

Passport-style foldables are returning, but in a foldable format. Samsung completely changed direction with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Xiaomi followed with the 18 Fold, and Apple has now entered the category with the iPhone Duo. Even though the original Google Pixel Fold explored the same short-and-wide idea years ago, this is looking like the new smartphone trend in 2026.

After spending years with book-style foldables, I am warming up to this decision. I prefer the idea of keeping the phone compact when closed and opening it only when I need more room.

From flexible motherboards to advance orders, device makers are getting creative to keep products alive.
Installing RAM Memory on a framework laptop

The memory shortage is no longer just a problem for PC builders hunting for affordable RAM.

And according to a report by Reuters, the bigger problem isn't even the price anymore. It's getting enough memory in the first place.
