Is Visible Plus Pro worth the extra $10 a month?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-22 08:21:21

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I’ve been a big Visible fan for years. While it’s not the only carrier I use, it’s definitely the one I most often come back to. I’m also not the only one in our staff who favors it, as Joe Maring recently left T-Mobile for Visible. There’s a lot to like about Visible, and it only continues to get better. Earlier this spring, the Verizon-owned brand announced a new plan: the confusingly named Visible Plus Pro. Naming aside, I signed up to give it a try and se

Here’s a closer look at the Liquid Glass design in iOS 26 on the iPhone

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-03-22 00:09:20

Apple said yesterday that iOS 26 was its biggest update to the look and feel of the iPhone since iOS 7, with the same visual design language used across all the company’s devices. It’s certainly a pretty dramatic change, depending on how far you want to take the look. For example, in addition to the ‘tint’ options we got in iOS 18, there’s a new ‘Clear’ option to make all our app icons monochrome glass – which you can see above … Like tint, I have to wonder how many people will actually use it

Nintendo Switch 2 review: More of what you love

Back in 2017, it felt like handhelds were dying. The PlayStation Vita was suffering from a lack of support and the 3DS was already on its way out. But then the Nintendo Switch arrived and became the hybrid console that launched 1,000 portable rivals. It proved you could make a device that was powerful enough to play games on your TV but also small enough to take with you anywhere.

One of the many blessings/curses that comes with aging is a new perspective on things. Movies, for example. You can watch a movie a billion times growing up, learn to quote every line, buy posters and toys, and revel in how watching it makes you feel like a kid again. Then, you watch it a few years later and notice something you never noticed before. Something that didn’t matter when you were 10, 20, or 30. But at 40 or 50, you can’t quite get your head around it.

Robert Eggers Is Making a ‘Christmas Carol’ Movie, and Willem Dafoe May Be Scrooge

Next up for the iconic tale, though, is what we can only assume is a much darker, scarier twist from none other than Robert Eggers.
