Earlier today, T-Mobile started notifying customers that it will be retiring many legacy plans and moving subscribers onto one of its current rate plans. This move includes plans that date back to the 3G era, and it's going about as well as you'd expect.

Affected customers began sharing screenshots of the text on reddit and Threads this morning, and T-Mobile's chief marketing officer Allan Samson confirmed the news to The Verge:

We're retiring our oldest plans, some of which were built nearly 15 years ago - in the 3G and 4G eras, and well before our 5G network was fully deployed. Customers will transition to modern plans that provide acc …

After a great start, DC’s new cinematic universe is already slowing down

2026-06-30 05:00:00

While Kara Zor-El's appearance at the end of James Gunn's Superman was a very pleasant surprise, Warner Bros. Discovery's plan to fast-track a standalone Supergirl feature always felt a little dubious. It seemed odd that, after Superman, the studio wanted to flesh out its new cinematic universe with films about another Kryptonian and one of Batman's less notable villains. But Gunn implored fans to have faith in his vision and trust that the DCU would become a world of interconnected stories that put WBD's last batch of comic book movies to shame.

Leaked iPhone 18 Pro photos and parts lists appeared on the dark web following a data breach affecting one of Apple's key suppliers, according to a report from Reuters.

This comes just a week after Tata Electronics, an India-based company that manufactures iPhone components and assembles the devices, confirmed that it suffered a data breach. Security researchers told Reuters at the time that the ransomware group, World Leaks, posted more than 200,000 files related to the breach on the dark web. The leak …

Tidal won’t pay royalties on AI-generated music but isn’t banning it outright

Colorful graphic of Tidal logo

Tidal shared its new policies regarding AI-generated music today and how the platform plans to "protect artists" and "inform listeners." Instead of banning it outright, starting on July 15th Tidal will label tracks it has identified as being 100 percent AI-generated with an icon. But starting today those tracks will no longer be monetizable. "Tidal's priority is ensuring royalties go to original works directly produced, written, and performed by people. We will therefore not knowingly attribute royalties to music we identify as wholly AI-generated," the company's announcement reads.

The platform didn't specify what tools it's using to iden …

A: PlayStation has long been strongly associated with the idea of playing in the living room. However, in recent yea …

As shown in the teaser, OpenAI is launching the device in partnership with Work Louder, a company that sells an array of mechanical keyboards and macro pads with mappable keys, dials, and switches.

The silhouette of the device shown by OpenAI looks a bit like Work …
