This week, carriers leaned hard into looking smarter and tougher. T-Mobile rolled out AI-driven AutoPilot automation to cut network-repair time roughly in half, Verizon poured $70 million into free AI skills training for job seekers and small businesses, and both AT&T and Verizon mobilized their disaster-response playbooks again for Tropical Storm Nolo in Hawaii.
Apple's Tuesday event dominated the week, and for good reason: the company finally entered the foldable category with the iPhone Duo, refreshed the 18 Pro lineup, and then — less flatteringly — quietly raised prices across nearly every iPhone still on sale, hardware changes or not. It was a reminder that "new generation" doesn't always mean new hardware; sometimes it just means a bigger number on the price tag.
T-Mobile was the throughline this week, and it wasn't a flattering one. The company brought in a 30-year finance veteran as its next CFO in a carefully staged handoff built for continuity, and it's positioned to be the first US carrier supporting Apple's new iPhone Handoff feature in iOS 27, both moves that read as a carrier investing in its next chapter.
If you've been holding out for a new foldable, the wait is over: Samsung's latest generation is now available to order through Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, alongside unlocked options direct from Samsung. This release cycle brings a notable change to the lineup. Instead of two models, shoppers now have three foldables to choose between.
This week in the U.S. mobile industry, the clearest theme was simplification — at least on the surface. Verizon rolled out a more consumer-friendly strategy built around fewer fees, easier bundles, and a new value story, while T-Mobile leaned on a big switcher promotion to keep competitive pressure high. On paper, these moves look familiar: fewer headaches, more perks, and louder value messaging.
Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge, its slimmest smartphone to date, measuring just 5.8mm thick and weighing 163 grams. Despite its ultra-thin design, the device boasts a 6.7-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 2,600 nits, protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.
Earlier this week, Samsung finally took the wraps off of its highly anticipated – the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. The series comes with three phones: Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Earlier this week, Samsung held its Galaxy Unpacked event. The South Korean manufacturer unveiled some of its latest devices, including the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, Z Fold3 5G, Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, and Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G.
