One Vigilante, 22 Cell Tower Fires, and a World of Conspiracies

wired.com Brendan I. Koerner 2025-09-29 13:00:00

As dawn spread over San Antonio on September 9, 2021, almond-colored smoke began to fill the sky above the city’s Far West Side. The plumes were whorling off the top of a 132-foot-tall cell tower that overshadows an office park just north of SeaWorld. At a hotel a mile away, a paramedic snapped a photo of the spectacle and posted it to the r/sanantonio subreddit. “Cell tower on fire around 1604 and Culebra,” he wrote.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung has officially confirmed that stable One UI 8 is coming to most of the devices in its portfolio in 2025 itself. Based on community forum announcements, only the Galaxy S25 series will get the update this month. The update will be available in October and November for most other phones, including older flagships, mid-range phones, and budget phones.

iPhone 17 Pro reintroduces a glass cutout for 5G mmWave antenna on U.S. models

Apple introduced its iPhone 17 lineup today, and the new iPhone 17 Pro models include an interesting new design quirk that the company just got rid of with the iPhone 16 lineup: a glass cutout for 5G mmWave passthrough. This time though, it’s on the top of the phone. Ever since iPhone 12, Apple has included 5G mmWave support on the iPhones in the US, with the exception of iPhone 16e and the new iPhone Air.

When it comes to perks like streaming services and other extras, two plans run neck and neck: Verizon’s Unlimited Welcome and T-Mobile’s Experience More. We give Verizon a slight edge thanks to its modular approach to customizing perks -- even if each one comes as a separate paid add-on. When we specced out the two plans with similar offerings, the cost was about the same. While other providers tend to reserve perks like streaming services for higher-tier plans, Verizon’s Unlimited Welcome lets

The listings also seemingly contradict a previous leak, which pointed to a bundled charger.

Kris Carlon / Android Authority Despite some speed and network coverage improvements, 5G hasn’t really lived up to the hype. You know it, I know it, and deep down, even the carriers know it. In fact, a few of the industry’s bigwigs would probably rather we all forget about some of the absolutely outlandish claims and overenthusiastic visions they tried to sell us about 5G.

Microsoft Needs to Make Affordable 5G Surface Laptops a Reality

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-17 21:20:14

Microsoft didn’t launch its 2025 lineup of Surface devices with a 5G option. Instead, it waited a few months for interest to die down enough to release its business-end version with a starting price nearly twice that of the one built for the average joe. It shows that if users want a laptop that can connect to the internet without relying on spotty public or Starbucks Wi-Fi, they need to pay through the nose. Hopefully Microsoft’s new tech will get cheaper later, though only if laptop makers rec

TL;DR Verizon has notified customers that it’s dropping the free Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass perk on some older 5G plans. This applies to users on its 5G Get More and 5G Play More plans. These subscriptions will be discontinued on September 22, 2025. Verizon offers free Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass subscriptions on some of its older 5G plans.

Android Headlines TL;DR Samsung Galaxy A16 5G, the best-selling Android phone for Q1 2025, could be getting a successor soon. The Galaxy A17 5G has now leaked with a slightly upgraded camera design. The Galaxy A17 5G is expected to be powered by an Exynos 1380, which trickles down from the Galaxy A54. $200 phones barely receive more than a couple of years of updates, but Samsung’s Galaxy A16 5G is an outlier with a promised software support for six years.

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile is the first US-based carrier to upgrade to a new “L4S” network technology, which reduces latency in its 5G networks. L4S improves upon existing technologies by decongesting networks in real-time, prioritizing applications that require faster internet. Thankfully, you don’t need to upgrade to newer hardware to use T-Mobile’s new low-latency tech. Choppy video calls or online games are among the most wicked ways to ruin someone’s mood. Every carri
