Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority When it comes to mobile phone plans, most carriers tend to emphasize features like device financing, insurance, promotional pricing, and reliable service for calls, texts, and data across the country, usually with some claim of being “the country’s fastest” or “best” at something.

For one short-lived moment in 2016, Xiaomi smartphones were available to buy from a US carrier. Not through some sketchy importer or Amazon listing — we’re talking about a real wireless provider, with things like plans and warranties. US Mobile, a small MVNO that runs on T-Mobile’s network, briefly added Xiaomi and Meizu phones to its online storefront and declared itself the first legitimate US carrier to sell them.

Last year, Apple began rolling out RCS suppor t with iOS 18, finally opening the door to richer communication between Android and iPhone users instead of defaulting to SMS. The only catch was that Apple Messages didn’t directly support RCS for most carriers, requiring wireless providers to supply their own carrier bundle for it to work, which isn’t cheap. As a result, many prepaid carriers were left waiting for support, but that changes with iOS 18.4. We reported yesterday that Google Fi now su

In recent years the US military has made much of a concept known as tactically responsive launch. This essentially means that if there is some rapidly developing threat in space—say an adversary takes out a key national defense satellite—the military would like the capability to rapidly fuel a satellite on Earth, mate it to a rocket, and launch it into space. The US Space Force first demonstrated this tactically responsive capability with a launch on Firefly's Alpha rocket in 2023. As part of t
