AT&T has just announced the launch of a new service called eSIM by AT&T. It's aimed at people visiting the US, Canada, and/or Mexico, and the choice of countries makes sense when you consider the fact that the FIFA World Cup is taking place from June 11 to July 19 in exactly those three countries. AT&T is aiming this at people who will be arriving in North America for the World Cup matches. As you can see below, eSIM by AT&T comes in four 'sizes'. A one-day pass is $3.99 and only available for the US. A seven-day pass is $15.99 for just the US, or $24.99 for all three countries. A...

The annual Indy 500 race is coming up – it’s happening this Sunday (May 24) and the legendary track expects massive crowds to gather to watch the racing live. Last year, around 350,000 people showed up at the track and shared a whopping 61TB of data over their mobile connections. This year, Verizon has spent months preparing the 5G infrastructure at the track and it has upgraded the radio hardware to deliver a 400% increase in bandwidth. The carrier thought things through to ensure a good experience from the start – since paper tickets are mostly a thing of the past, you need to load a...

Apple is getting a new CEO later this year as Tim Cook will be succeeded by the Senior VP of Hardware Engineering, John Ternus. But in addition to the news of a new CEO, the company also announced a significant restructuring.

Almost immediately after taking his new role, Johny Srouji commenced a big reshuffle. Kate Bergeron, for example, will pass on the main product design management to two of her deputies, while she will oversee product reliability. She's taking on...

Samsung’s memory division reported record sales for Q1, but this has caused discontent within the company, specifically the Device Solutions (DS) business. DS is home to the memory business, System LSI (which designs chipsets) and the foundry business (which fabs chips for Samsung and external clients). Now Samsung is facing the biggest strike in its history – with 48,000 employees threatening to walk out – which is due to start on Thursday, unless an agreement is reached or the government intervenes. The strike is planned to last 18 days. SK Hynix is also based in Korea and it is the...

If you are an AT&T customer using a prepaid plan, you need to know this – the carrier is introducing an “AT&T Administrative & Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee” to the tune of $2.63 per service payment.

That postpaid fee was $3.49 per line until December of last year, by the...

Huawei unveiled the MatePad Pro Max tablet earlier this month, and today it's taken the unusual step of revealing the chipset at its helm. Ever since the US sanctions started against the company seven years ago, Huawei has sometimes been very cagey about revealing which exact chips power its devices and we've come not to expect transparency on this front by default. Now at a HarmonyOS conference in China, the company just came out and revealed that the MatePad Pro Max is powered by the Kirin T93 Pro SoC. Unfortunately, Huawei still hasn't said anything about it other than the name. But...
