Visible has a significant revamp to its Verizon-backed phone service, adding new features and taking away some at the same time. Up until now, the company prided itself on its singular all-digital plan, but now Visible’s single wireless plan has been reworked to cost less and is being offered alongside a brand new option. The two plans now available are called Visible, the reworked original plan, and the all-new Visible Plus.
The Visible plan includes unlimited talk, text, data, and hotspot for just $30 per month — a reduced price from the $40 per month the plan used to cost. The other plan is Visible Plus, which includes 5G Ultra Wideband access, a first for the company’s offerings. Visible Plus also includes 50GB of “premium network experience,” roaming coverage in North America, and global calls to more than 30 countries outside of the U.S. You get all of that for $45 per month, just $5 more than the cost of the old Visible plan and $10 more compared to the new one.
With these two new plans, Visible is looking to “reimagine wireless and be radically simple, fundamentally accessible, and audaciously inclusive,” a mission statement that has become synonymous with the company. While both plans look great, the addition of 5G Ultra Wideband access to Visible’s offerings is a major step forward for Visible customers. Ultra Wideband service still isn’t available everywhere across the country, but if you live in an area where Verizon’s network supports it, Visible Plus should get you significantly faster speeds than what’s previously been offered on Visible.
Although 5G Ultra Wideband is only offered with a Visible Plus plan, the revamped base plan is still a solid pick — especially for those who already had Visible due to its now reduced price. The only downside is that, alongside these changes, new Visible customers can no longer use Party Pay. Previously, Visible Party Pay allowed you to join someone else’s ‘party’ for a reduced monthly rate. It was similar to a family plan, but Party Pay worked with anyone, not just close friends or family members. If you joined a Party Pay with enough people, your monthly bill could be as little as $25 per month. Existing customers in Party Pay won’t see any changes, but if you’re joining Visible for the first time, that option is gone.
As such, this ends up being a mix of good and bad news. If you’re signing up for the base Visible plan and didn’t like the idea of jumping through a couple of hoops for Party Pay, you can now get the old $40 plan for just $30 — no group plan required. However, Visible’s now taking away the option of getting its base plan for $25 per month and making it a flat $30. You win some, you lose some.
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.
