CES 2024 is right around the corner, but that’s already old news — it’s time to start talking about Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024! Why? Nothing just confirmed it’s holding an event during the giant tech conference in February, and this could be where we get our first look at the Nothing Phone 3.
In a press invitation sent by Nothing, the company teases that it will have “Nothing to see” on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, during MWC in Barcelona. You can see a picture of the invitation below. In the email accompanying the invite, Nothing also says it will have “something special” to show off.
Although the Nothing Phone 3 isn’t mentioned anywhere in the invitation, there’s very good reason to believe this is where we’ll get our first look at the phone — or at least some sort of teaser. At MWC 2022, Nothing teased a prototype of the Nothing Phone 1. At MWC 2023, we got confirmation about the processor for the Nothing Phone 2. Nothing has set a precedent that MWC is where it talks about smartphones, and considering the company is already hyping its MWC 2024 plans, a Nothing Phone 3 appearance seems like a safe bet.
There have also been rumors that Nothing is working on a Nothing Phone 2a, which is reported to be a cheaper, more budget-friendly version of the flagship Nothing Phone 2. If that phone is actually in the works, it could also make an appearance at Nothing’s MWC event.
Of course, the other possibility is that Nothing will just announce something silly and unrelated to its smartphone business. The company’s been on an odd path this year, releasing clothing and beer as odd marketing stunts. There was also the whole fiasco around Nothing Chats. It’s hard to pin down exactly what Nothing will do next, but given the company’s history with past MWC showings, my bet is on the Nothing Phone 3.
Details on the Nothing Phone 3 (and the Nothing Phone 2a) have been few and far between so far, but we’re bound to hear more from the rumor mill as we get closer to MWC.
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.
