Apple acknowledges Apple Watch Series 3 has some bugs

Apple’s newest toy, Apple Watch Series 3 is set to be released Friday, 22 September, but those with review units noticed some bugs with the new watch. Lauren Goode from the Verge has one of those review units, and already had the watch replaced due to connectivity issues with LTE.  The replacement unit is still experiencing the same connectivity issues.

Are you ready for Beast Mobile?

Marshawn Lynch (yes, BeastMode himself) is jumping into the MVNO market with Beast Mobile starting at $24/month with unlimited talk/text, and 1GB of data.

Confirmed: T-Mobile unlimited threshold raised to 50GB starting 20 September

After what I would call a fumble last week by T-Mobile with their “Free Netflix” deal not being as sweet as implied, T-Mobile rebounds this week with a sweet move that benefits heavy data users.  T-Mobile has always been the most lenient with their “unlimited” plans in the past and announced they will continue to be that way in the future. 

Free Netflix deal with T-Mobile isn’t quite a great deal after all

On 6 September, T-Mobile announced they would be offering free Netflix to customers with T-Mobile One unlimited plans that would go live on 12 September.  On the surface this looks like an amazing deal worth about $120/year for those currently paying $9.99/month for the basic Netflix plan.  But if you’re on a $100/2 line One unlimited plan, this deal isn’t for you.
