Interested in getting the new iPhone 7 but not so hot on the lowest storage option? Enter T-Mobile, which is offering a deal that keeps you from having to shell out the cash for extra storage. The company is running a Cyber Monday promotion that basically lets you upgrade the amount of storage you’ll get for free.

In other words, you can get the 128GB version of the iPhone 7 for the price of the 32GB version, giving you an extra 96GB — perfect on a phone that doesn’t have an SD card slot. You could also go one step further and get the 256GB version of the iPhone 7 for the price of the 128GB. Both offers save you $100.

To get the new iPhone 7 at the low price, you’ll need to head to the T-Mobile website and add either the 128GB or 256GB iPhone 7 to your cart, just like you would any other order. You can also call T-Mobile at 1-877-413-5903 to place the order. That’s really it — no special codes that you need to enter and no special secret button to find on the website.

To get the deal, you will have to act quick — inventory is limited, so you may not be able to get the slick new Jet Black mocel, which is the color that sells out the quickest. It does not seem as though the iPhone 7 Plus is part of the deal.

T-Mobile has been offering a few iPhone 7 deals over the past week, the second of which was a Black Friday offer that allowed customers to get a free iPhone 7 with a trade-in. The Cyber Monday deal isn’t quite the same as getting a free iPhone 7, but it’s still pretty sweet, especially if you generally want more than the 32GB the base iPhone 7 offers.

The iPhone 17 will reportedly get a new type of Wi-Fi chip

By this time next year, Apple may have installed its own in-house Wi-Fi chips in all of its phones, or at least one of them.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known analyst with a trusted record, Apple is working on its own Wi-Fi chips to replace the current ones from Broadcom, but there's not a firm timeline on when they'll arrive (via MacRumors). He says the iPhone 17 Pro might come equipped with this new chip, but other sources suggest it won't get widespread adoption until the iPhone 18.

How to fast charge your iPhone

iPhone 12 Mini with charger

While they may not be some of the longest-lasting smartphones on the market, modern iPhones boast more than respectable battery life that should be able to get you through an entire day's use without breaking too much of a sweat. Of course, that assumes a lot of things — including a battery that's still relatively new and in good health, plus a usage pattern that doesn't include all-day streaming or gaming.

But for some people, overnight charging isn't going to cut it, and you'll want to get your battery topped up again as quickly as you can so you can get back in action. Thankfully, every iPhone released in the past six years supports much faster charging, but the downside is that with very few exceptions, Apple has never supplied you with the right adapter to get the best possible charging speeds from your iPhone.

5 phones you should buy instead of the iPhone 16

Someone holding the iPhone 16.

Apple’s iPhone 16 has arrived, and it’s quite an impressive offering this year. Not only does it come in some of the best colors we’ve seen in a while, but it closes the gap between the base and Pro models even more.

That's all to say the iPhone 16 is a fantastic phone, but if you’re thinking about buying it as your next smartphone purchase, you should also consider some of these alternatives.
