$100 off Samsung smartphones, year of Netflix offered by T-Mobile in final Unwrapped deal
T-Mobile announced today their final special offer as part of their holiday shopping Un-carrier Unwrapped promotions. The offer encourages consumers to pick up a Samsung smartphone thanks to a $100 discount and suggests consumers avail themselves of T-Mobile’s new Binge On feature by throwing in a year of Netflix.
John Legere, in announcing this final offer for the season, says other carriers are engaging in trickery with their specials, but T-Mobile’s Unwrapped is different in being simple, “we’re giving you $100 off the top on Samsung’s hottest phones, plus a year of Netflix. Period.”
The devices eligible for the special pricing include the Samsung Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 Edge, the Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5. The offer will launch this Friday, December 18th, and will be accessible via retail locations, by phone or through online orders. The special pricing on Samsung devices will be good through December 23rd, but the Netflix offer can be had until December 31st. If you are already a Netflix customer, you can get a 12-month credit through this deal.

T-Mobile Gives Customers $100 Off Samsung’s Best Smartphones, Plus a Year of Netflix
Un-carrier Unwrapped ends with gifts for all!
Get $100 off a Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, edge+ or Note5 AND one full year of Netflix on us!Bellevue, Washington — December 16, 2015 — T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today revealed its final gift of the Un-carrier Unwrapped holiday season and it’s for absolutely everyone. Starting this Friday, the Un-carrier is knocking $100 off Samsung’s latest superphones – the Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, edge+ or Note5. To sweeten the deal, the Un-carrier is throwing in up to a full year of Netflix – more than $100 value – when you pick up any of these Samsung smartphones! With Binge On you can watch all the Netflix you want without eating up your high-speed data. It’s the gift that keeps on giving year round!
“Today we’re putting the final bow on a fantastic month of gifts to all wireless customers,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “The carriers’ holiday ‘deals’ are full of trickery and promises in exchange for a set of handcuffs and higher costs down the road. That’s not a gift, and it’s not how the Un-carrier does it. Starting this weekend, we’re giving you $100 off the top on Samsung’s hottest phones, plus a year of Netflix. Period. Happy Holidays Everyone!”
Thanks to the carriers’ inflated data charges and overages, if you don’t have T-Mobile, you’re paying a lot more for your binge watching than just the normal subscription fee. Binge watching a full season of House of Cards can eat up about 9.59 GB of high-speed data. An AT&T customer with a 5GB data bucket would use up their entire bucket and tip into overage penalties to the tune of $15 per gigabyte before the season is even done – an extra $75 on top of their monthly bill! At T-Mobile with Binge On, that same season of House of Cards would eat up exactly ZERO of your high-speed data bucket on most plans.
The Un-carrier has been in the holiday spirit this month, unwrapping holiday gifts every week as part of Un-carrier Unwrapped. First, T-Mobile gave its Simple Choice customers three months of Unlimited LTE. Then,Sprint customers got $200 per line when they switched. And AT&T customers got a phone memory upgrade and half-off accessories. Finally, Verizon customers got up to a full year mobile viewing joy with Hulu and half-off accessories.
This latest Un-carrier Unwrapped gift is available to everyone starting Friday, December 18th in T-Mobile stores, by phone and online. Customers can get $100 off Samsung phones through December 23rd, and customers can get up to a free year of Netflix though December 31st.

Alleged image of Moto X 2016 shows radical departure from the past
A new image has surfaced via some Chinese sources claiming to show the design of the Motorola Moto X 2016. If the claim is accurate that this is in fact the design chosen by Lenovo and Motorola for the next generation of the Moto X, it will be quite a departure from the previous versions.
Probably the biggest change is the fact that the device shown in the image appears to have adopted a metal and glass construction for the body. This is quite different from Motorola’s previous versions that used a variety of materials for the back, had a round shape, and lent itself to customization via the company’s Moto Maker.
The image also shows a big departure in terms of the camera, sporting a huge lens for the rear-facing camera. Motorola has traditionally used an accent to connect the camera lens with their logo, an accent that is missing in this image. The device also appears to have speakers located in the back, a contrast from the dual front-facing speakers the current Moto X comes with.
Sources in China indicate the next generation Moto X will be equipped with a Snapdragon 820 processor. They also suggest the final version will come with a fingerprint sensor, possibly built into the Motorola logo.
The Motorola Moto X 2016 should not be released until the latter half of 2016, so it seems to be a bit early for an image to surface. We expect leaks will start closer to the summer. Given the radical changes, some of which seem to eschew some of the very features, notably customization, that make the Moto X line popular, this leak seems to be a bit suspect.

Firefox v43 introduces audio indicator, reading list tweaks and more
After plenty of beta tests and little updates, Mozilla’s Firefox browser has received a new stable version today – version 43. Included in the package is a selection of new features, both under the hood and some that you will notice more readily. So here’s what’s new.
For starters, users can now mark items in their reading list as read or unread, which is handy for keeping track of articles. There’s also a new audio indicator to signify which open tabs are currently playing something through your speakers or headphones. Tablet users will also notice a new split pane style for the history panel when in landscape mode.
Firefox also has some new accessibility improvements for scrolling, zooming, braille and context menus in Talkback screen reader. The toolbar menu has also been updated to match the latest Android UI design guidelines with a grey rather than black tint, so Firefox will better match up with the look of your other Android apps, if you care about that sort of thing.
Under the hood there is improved API support for m4v videos and a number of security fixes to keep you better protected against the unsavoury web elements out there.
The update should apply automatically if you have Firefox downloaded from the Google Play store. If not, you can grab the popular web browser using the link below.
Deal: Unlocked Galaxy S6 from eBay only $400, 128GB Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge for $600
Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge flagships may have launched more than a few months ago, but they’re still some of the best Android smartphones available on the market. They’re both incredibly sleek and powerful, though depending on which mobile carrier you have, you might need to fork out an arm and a leg to get one of these bad boys. Well, that is until now. Right now, you can buy an unlocked 32GB T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 from eBay for only $399.99, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen thus far. If you’re looking for more storage and perhaps a curved display, though, you can pick up the Verizon 128GB Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge for just $599.99.
The Galaxy S6 unit is an unlocked T-Mobile variant, so it’s also compatible with AT&T’s network. It also supports all of AT&T’s LTE bands, so you should have no trouble getting service. The Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge unit is unlocked as well, though you’ll definitely have the best coverage if you choose to use it on Verizon.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Facebook Messenger, and Evernote Gain 3D Touch in iOS Updates
A couple of popular iOS apps have been getting updates for 3D Touch over the past few days, introducing the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus feature into experiences like Facebook Messenger, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, and Evernote.
Most recently, Facebook Messenger updated its iOS app with 3D Touch, letting users choose from a quick-select menu and jump directly into a message thread with the three most recent contacts that they have been chatting with, or create a new thread entirely. Along with a streamlined tweaking to contacts and some winter-themed stickers, that was the extent of Facebook Messenger’s 52.0 update. Evernote’s version update earlier in the week was similarly 3D Touch-focused, with Peek and Pop introduced on note lists and search results within the note-taking app.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for iPhone had a much larger spruce-up, with a new update that grants users direct access to the app’s camera thanks to 3D Touch. Adobe further expanded 3D Touch’s abilities to the inside of the app, granting users access to Peek and Pop when browsing their camera roll’s grid view. The 2.1.0 update also brought about various usability improvements, iPad Pro support, and even a new Notification Center widget.
Recent reports in the 3D Touch field have suggested that Apple is working on a scalable version of the tech to fit screens as large as the iPad Pro, but it still may not make it to the iPad Air 3. The feature was one of the selling points of October’s iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, granting users the first new input alternative since the original iPhone and fueling new software innovations like Live Photos.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for iPhone [Direct Link], Messenger [Direct Link], and Evernote [Direct Link] are all available on the App Store for free.

Google reportedly plans to spin off its self-driving car business
Google’s self-driving car technology might not remain Google-branded for much longer. Bloomberg sources claim that Google plans to turn its autonomous car business into a separate outfit under its parent company Alphabet’s wing. Reportedly, Google hopes that the division will become a ride-for-hire business, a bit like Uber minus the driver. Since self-driving cars aren’t street legal outside of testing, the vehicles might initially be limited to driving around colleges, large office campuses and other “confined” places where walking can sometimes be a hassle.
Google isn’t commenting on the apparent leak. However, it previously suggested that the self-driving division would make a “good candidate” for one of Alphabet’s growing number of stand-alone businesses. Whatever’s true, a spinoff would be a big deal — it’d indicate that Google sees its driverless technology becoming a viable product in the near future, not just a nice-to-have experiment that might pan out in a few years.
