Starting today, the Amazon Music app is now home to music merchandise, much of which has been developed by musicians specifically for the app. According to the online giant, artist merchandise will appear on participating artists’ pages, side-by-side with their songs, albums, live streams, and music videos.
Users of the Amazon Music app can scroll and buy these items all while continuing to listen to music. The shopping integration is U.S.-only for now, with many of the products qualifying for Prime shipping for Amazon Prime members. You can also shop the collection on the regular Amazon website.
It’s no secret that few bands make enough money from streaming services to survive, and life during a pandemic has taken away their biggest source of income: Live performances and their accompanying merchandise tables. Weezer, one of the bands that are participating in the program, said in an Amazon press release, “Since the pandemic has temporarily eradicated the merch table, we’re really excited to have developed an exclusive collection of offerings with Amazon Music to bring the merch table directly to our fans.”
Weezer is apparently not alone. Amazon has signed up some big names as part of the initial launch including Billie Eilish, Jack Harlow, King Princess, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, and Gucci Mane. Most of the merchandise is apparel, like t-shirts and hoodies, but you’ll also find the occasional coffee mug or phone case too.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
