In case you haven’t figured out, we’re in the middle of summer Prime Day 2025, and that means good deals all around. One such deal is for the OnePlus 13R, now reaching an all time low price. Usually $600, the phone is now down to $500, a savings of $100. Tap the button below to get directly into the deal or keep reading to see what we thought about the phone, a quick refresher on how it compares to the OnePlus 13, and the quirky budget phone it beats hands down.
Even at the standard $600 price, we felt that the OnePlus 13R was incredible value. At least, that’s the central thesis of our OnePlus 13R review, that the phone is a best-in-slot for ~$600 price range. It has two (or even more) days of battery life, a 2780 x 1264 and 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass tough protection, a Snapdragon processor… the works! …all at a bargain price. When we compared the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R against each other, you might think the plain 13 would beat the 13R all around, considering it has better hardware, but it didn’t pan out that way. The OnePlus 13R really holds its own and demonstrates a ton of value for the price.
Another way to look at this is when we compared the OnePlus 13R and Nothing Phone 3a Pro, another budget phone. The result was a blowout victory for the OnePlus 13R, which is slightly more expensive during normal times but has the right level of “additional performance” and camera power to make it all worthwhile.
A final thing to remember about our OnePlus 13R review is that a stated negative was that, at $600, it cost $100 more than last year’s OnePlus 12R. However, with this excellent deal, that’s no longer true. Right now, if you tap the button below, you can get the 13R at the 12R price. But this deal won’t last forever, as Prime Day ends this Friday and most deals with it.
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.
