Have a penchant for bleeding-edge iPhones and an unparalleled hatred of two-year contracts? If you find Sprint’s service and coverage copacetic, the carrier’s vision might just whet your whistle.

In 2015, Sprint chief Marcelo Claure announced in an interview that the company would eliminate two-year contracts and subsidies in favor of phone leasing plans, plans which Sprint says a majority of its customers (51 percent) favor. It was a move that brought the SoftBank-owned carrier in line with its major competition.

As a part of Sprint’s new strategy, it introduced iPhone Forever, an evolution of its iPhone for Life phone leasing program. The crux is simple: Lease the latest and greatest iPhone for a low monthly fee. And now, its latest iteration allows you to get an iPhone 7 32GB for cheap. Simply switch to Sprint, turn in your current smartphone, and get an iPhone 7 “on the house.” Just like the previous versions of iPhone Forever, you will be able to upgrade to the newest iPhone any time following 12 lease payments.

“We’re always listening to customers to make sure we’re delivering what wireless users want and care about — great devices and unlimited data plans,” Chief Marketing Officer Roger Solé said. “We know customers want unlimited and we know they love iPhone 7. With our industry-leading unlimited plan and reliable, fast network, there’s no better place to get the iPhone 7 and experience mobile life without limits.”

Sprint will also offer unlimited data, talk, and text for $50 per month for the first line, $40 per month for two lines, and $30 per month for four lines. The service provider promises that its unlimited plan encompasses HD streaming for video, music, and gaming, and 10GB per month per line of mobile hotspot data.

Sprint’s program is similar to T-Mobile’s new monthly device payment program — Jump On Demand. This plan offers a greater choice of handsets and allows subscribers to upgrade to a new phone up to three times a year, but folds the cost of phones into monthly payments (the 16GB iPhone 6, for example, runs $27 a month).

So if you’re looking for a new iPhone, Sprint may be the way to go.

Some iPhone users report overheating when using Apple Intelligence

After a long wait, iOS 18.2 has finally rolled out to the public at large and unlocked more Apple Intelligence features like Image Playground, Genmoji, and an upgraded Mail app. It might have also introduced a way to keep your hands warm on these frosty winter days, according to some users.

Reddit user u/dsdxp posted on the iPhone subreddit that they had unlocked a secret feature in the iPhone 16 Pro. The comment was obviously sardonic, but many other users responded with their own stories of troubling temperatures from their iPhones. The common element between all of the stories was the Image Playground app and the excessive heat it creates while in use.

Apple is about to stop selling multiple iPhones in Europe. Here’s why
The iPhone 14 Plus held in a man's hand.

The iPhone SE and iPhone 14 series will no longer be available for purchase in Europe at the end of the year. In an effort to make technology more consumer-friendly, the European Union ruled that any mobile device sold must be able to charge through USB-C, according to iGeneration. While more modern entries in Apple's lineup already meet those guidelines, the iPhone SE and iPhone 14 do not.

These aren't the newest additions to Apple's lineup, but the iPhone SE and the iPhone 14 series are still sold in Europe. These will be pulled from shelves as the deadline approaches. Customers have plenty of options, but this decision will leave the European market without an iPhone SE option until the next model releases in 2025.
