NYT Pips hints, answers for December 2, 2025

Mashable - 3 hours 57 min ago

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for November 8, 2025

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

  • Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

  • Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

  • Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

  • Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

  • Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for December 2, 2025

Mashable - 3 hours 57 min ago

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easy if you know your Joes.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

NYT Strands hints, answers for December 2, 2025

Mashable - 3 hours 57 min ago

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you love bugs.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable SEE ALSO: NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for December 2, 2025 Where did Wordle come from?

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

Last call on Cyber Monday 2025: Live updates from Amazon, Apple, Best Buy, Walmart, and more

Mashable - 4 hours 25 min ago

Once upon a time, Americans lined up in droves outside Walmarts and Targets, still full from Thanksgiving dinner, so they could be first in the door at midnight. Thankfully, these frenzied Black Friday free-for-alls are a relic of a bygone era. Now, you can order all of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals online — though not for much longer.

We're fast approaching the final hours of Cyber Monday, and soon Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target's holiday sales will be over (you've got until Dec. 3 to shop at the Home Depot, however). And because there are thousands of deals, we know it can be tricky to know where to start shopping. So, Mashable is once again working around the clock to bring you live updates on all of the latest sales, standout deals, price drops, and inventory updates.

25 Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday, including Samsungs The Frame, MacBooks, and more

Mashable - 4 hours 27 min ago

The Mashable shopping team generally considers Black Friday to be a better shopping day than Cyber Monday, but only by a hair. While most holiday deals that pop up on Black Friday tend to linger through Cyber Monday, the selection is best early on, and only in rare cases do discounts improve over the course of the weekend. When it does happen, we want to make sure our readers are clued in.

SEE ALSO: Expert-picked early Cyber Monday deals: We found record prices on AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and PS5 consoles

So far, my colleagues and I have stumbled upon 25 Black Friday deals at Amazon and Best Buy that have gotten better now that both retailers are in Cyber Monday mode. Most of the price discrepancies are pretty significant, too. In the biggest instance, Samsung's 55-inch The Frame 4K QLED TV is a whopping $100 cheaper on Amazon now compared to 48 hours ago. Meanwhile, it's $102 pricier at Best Buy and Samsung's website.

If you purchased one of these items at a higher price and want to get reimbursed for the difference, keep in mind that price protection policies vary from retailer to retailer. Best Buy will honor better deals on almost anything you've bought there since Oct. 31, but Amazon doesn't offer any sort of price adjustments. You'll need to return and rebuy previous Amazon purchases that are now cheaper. (My take: Most of the following deals are definitely worth the hassle.)

Last call: You can still secure 1 year of HBO Max for $2.99/month before Cyber Monday ends

Mashable - 4 hours 45 min ago

SAVE $96: The HBO Max Cyber Monday deal is still around for a few final hours, and we'd highly recommend taking advantage. New and returning subscribers can get a year of HBO Max with ads for just $2.99 per month ($35.88 total for the entire year), down from the usual price of $10.99 per month.

Opens in a new window Credit: HBO HBO Max Basic with ads $2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal

There was no shortage of impressive streaming service promos this Black Friday season, with most of the good deals sticking around through Cyber Monday. But as the best streaming deals start to taper off as Monday comes to a close, we'd be remiss to not recommend the very best Cyber Monday streaming deal while it's still kicking.

Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max for just $2.99 per month, securing an entire year of HBO Max with ads for $35.88. It's certainly a breath of fresh air amid relentless announcements about streaming services raising their prices this year. If you don't grab this deal by the end of the day, an HBO Max subscription with ads will run you $10.99/month (a price hike that just happened in October), charging you $96 more for the year.

Not only is this one of the steepest discounts of all streaming services deals this year — it's also better than what HBO offered in both 2023 and 2024. HBO has historically only offered this $2.99 deal for the first six months, so they've fully doubled the savings window here. Even though this deal only applies to the tier with ads, we're willing to put those on mute for access to hit shows like The White Lotus, The Pitt, The Chair Company, and Task, plus A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms when it debuts on Jan. 18.

We're still seeing a ton of epic deals on some of our favorite products from Bose, Apple, Anker, and Lego, in addition to Amazon devices like Kindles and the Echo lineup, plus discounts on some of our favorite gifts for 2025. Amazon even brought back its 1-cent Haul deals to celebrate the shopping season. The majority of Amazon's deals are record-low prices, but be warned, the top deals are selling out. On occasion, Amazon will keep sale prices live after Cyber Monday, but we won't bet on any of these deals spilling over into tomorrow so hop to it.

The Apple Watch SE 3 earns the top spot on Mashable's list of the best smartwatches. We were very impressed with the new Apple Watch SE 3 when it was released just a few months ago, and it has a couple of key upgrades over the previous generation. Most importantly, Apple's budget smartwatch now comes with an always-on OLED display and a much-improved battery life. In fact, it's now hard to justify the higher price of the Apple Watch Series 11, unless you prefer the slightly larger display.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is one of my favorite portable power stations to hit the market this year. Anker's new Gen 2 models focus on portability, and the C1000 Gen 2 is shockingly easy to carry around at 25 pounds. It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's Cyber Monday sale, this model is down to a new record low.

Amazon has matched Walmart's excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at CNET (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the "best TV under $1,000 in 2025." It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $697.99, this deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It's not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is "a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range," as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.

The current sale event marks the very first time the Roborock Saros 10R has dropped below $1,000, so senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart can't help but recommend it to people — considering the Saros 10R was her favorite robot vacuum that she's ever tested for most of 2025, and is still the best robot vacuum mop combo when it comes to corner and edge mopping. (In Reddit threads about which robot vacuum everyone was looking to buy over Black Friday, the Saros 10R is mentioned multiple times.)

At 22,000 Pa of suction power, the Saros 10R is also one of the most powerful robot vacs you'll find on sale this season. Plus, the livestream pet camera will quickly become a daily staple in the routines of busy pet parents.

A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors.

Black Friday-Cyber Monday season is the best time of year to sign up for streaming services. Amazon is offering tons of add-on subscription deals for Prime members (or Prime Video subscribers). Our favorite one? The Apple TV+ add-on for just $5.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month, that's $42 in savings. Apple TV+ is where you'll find the most-talked-about show of the year so far, Pluribus. If you don't want to get left behind by the zeitgeist, then you'll need an Apple TV subscription.

This is our favorite laptop for students thanks to its speedy M4 silicon and slim, portable design.

Now that the 65-inch TCL QM6K TV has sold out at both Amazon and Best Buy, our next-favorite affordable mini LED TV deal is unanimous.

"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means it uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

That could make this your last chance to buy a DJI drone. This bundle has everything beginners need to get started, and this mini 4K camera drone can take your content to a new level — literally.

Please note this product is sold via a third-party seller on Amazon. We don't normally recommend deals like this, but this is the only way for U.S. shoppers to buy DJI drones right now.

Finding the perfect gift for parents can feel pretty impossible. Does anyone really need another pair of slippers or an extra mug that absolutely will not fit into the cupboard? We didn't think so. But photos always make for a wonderful gift, and these days, we have the joy of digital photo frames. Lucky for last-minute Cyber Monday shoppers, one of the best is still on sale.

As of Dec. 1, the Aura Carver 10-inch Digital Picture Frame is on sale at Amazon during Cyber Monday for only $139, marked down from the usual price of $179. That's a 22% discount that takes $40 off the price.

The Aura Carver's 10-inch HD display is one of the best gifts for moms and dads alike, helping them to enjoy photos of family and friends. It sits in landscape mode and can display a single photo or two photos side-by-side for up to 30 seconds. There's also a built-in speaker for video messages. Aura allows for unlimited cloud storage of photos and videos, so there's no limit to uploads. But keep in mind the Aura needs WiFi access to operate.

One of the best parts about the Aura digital frame is that people can upload photos and videos from anywhere. That means this gift to a parent can be a fun way to keep them updated throughout the year. The Aura app's scanner is also perfect for adding printed family photos onto the Carver frame.

Another highly giftable feature of the Aura Carver frame is that you can set it up without even opening the box. From the Aura app, you'll be able to pre-load photos, videos, and messages either with the QR code on the frame's box or with the help of the Aura app.

Before this deal disappears when Cyber Monday ends, snag a memorable gift for parents with the Aura Carver Digital Photo Frame. It's on sale during the final hours of Cyber Monday at Amazon for $139.

The 7 best smartwatches of 2025 include some surprises

Mashable - 5 hours 38 min ago

After a very busy fall, we finally have the new lineup of smartwatches from Apple, Samsung, and Google. And so whether you're team Apple or team Android, you have excellent choices for your wrist. Now that we've tested the major new releases, we're ready to name the best smartwatches of 2025. We have good news: As long as you stick to the flagship smartwatches from these three brands, you really can't go wrong. So, after extensive testing, 508 miles of training, and running the New York City marathon with a rotating cast of 10 different smartwatches, we're ready to name the top smartwatches for every use case.

The best smartwatches, at a glance: Best for most people Apple Watch SE 3 $199.00 at Amazon Shop Now Best Apple Upgrade Apple Watch Series 11 $329.00 at Amazon Shop Now Best Android Smartwatch Google Pixel Watch 4 $299.99 at Amazon (save $50) Shop Now Budget Pick Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro $79 at Amazon (save $20) Shop Now The Dark Horse Pick Apple Watch Ultra 2 $599 at Amazon (save $200) Get Deal Budget Fitness Tracker Fitbit Charge 6 $99.95 at Amazon Get Deal Best Samsung Smartwatch Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 $249.99 at Amazon (save $100) Get Deal The smartwatch market is getting very crowded, and that's good news

In just the past few months, Samsung, Google, and Apple all released new flagship smartwatches. On top of that, the Venn diagram of the best smartwatches and the best fitness trackers is fast becoming an almost perfect circle. While brands like Garmin and Fitbit are more tailored to athletes than everyday use, the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra lines are packed with fitness-focused features. And don't forget, you can also opt for smart rings and sleep trackers for true 24/7 health tracking.

There's also a huge range in price. Recently released smartwatches include the relatively affordable Apple Watch SE 3 ($239.99 ) all the way up to the ultra-pricey Garmin Fenix 8 Pro ($1,199.99 to $1,999.99). However, you don't have to spend very much to get a kick-ass smartwatch. In fact, even if your budget caps out at $100, you still have good options. Case in point: the Nothing CMF Watch 3 Pro, priced at $99 but often available for $79.

So, which wearables deserve a spot on your wrist? We're ready to render a verdict, and let's just say we have strong feelings and a couple of picks that might surprise you.

Yes, we chose not to include the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 (for now). Yes, we think the $99 Nothing Watch is a smarter buy than the new Galaxy Watch 8 (which we also love). No, we really don't think we can recommend the $1,999.99 microLED Garmin smartwatch, no matter how cool it is.

Note: Most of these smartwatches are on sale for Cyber Monday and the holiday shopping season. If you've been waiting to grab a smartwatch at a great price, now's the time. And if you want a little extra input, check out Mashable Senior Reporter Christianna Silva's experience running the New York City Marathon with 10 different smartwatches.

The best smartwatch for most people: Apple Watch SE 3 Credit: Apple

We're still in the process of testing the Apple Watch SE 3, but it's an Apple Watch — you know what you're getting. And here's the truth about the SE series: You get 98 percent of what you need from an Apple Watch or fitness tracker, and at a much better price. Unfortunately, you do take a hit on battery life. With 18 hours (versus 24 hours in the Series 11), you can't really call this an all-day smartwatch. And while you also miss out on blood oxygen monitoring, is that really crucial to the average user? We don't think so.

Add to that the fact that the SE 3 is the first Apple Watch SE to include an always-on display, and you have to wonder why you'd buy the Series 11 in the first place. In addition to its gorgeous OLED display, it has the same S10 chip inside the Ultra 3, the same water resistance as the Series 11, and all the necessary features you're looking for in a smartwatch — all for $150 less than the Series 11.

OK, so you really, really do want all-day battery life? Then you really do need to upgrade to the $399 Apple Watch Series 11. As Mashable's Stan Schroeder said in his review, it takes everything we loved about the Apple Watch Series 10 and adds a new processor and longer battery life. To be honest, there's not a lot to say beyond that. Apple can once again monitor your blood oxygen (after a legal dispute took away the feature), and now offers hypertension notifications as well.

The Google Pixel Watch 4 looks really similar to the Pixel Watch 3 at first glance, but look more closely, and you'll notice a slightly more domed Actua display. It's a subtle change, but we think it makes the new smartwatch look absolutely gorgeous. We don't hate the "squircle" design of the Galaxy Watch 8 like some folks, but after comparing it to the Pixel Watch 4, let's just say Google takes this round.

We were also impressed by its feature set. Mashable senior reporter Christianna Silva trained for the New York City Marathon while simultaneously testing 10+ smartwatches in the process, and they said the Pixel Watch 4 is a true runner's watch. That means it's elegant enough to wear to the office, but comfortable and smart enough to monitor workouts.

With a modern feel and a brighter display than the Pixel Watch 3, it's our current top choice as the best Android smartwatch.

Mashable readers have been going a bit gaga for this smartwatch ever since it was announced in July. And after testing it out for ourselves, we get it. We'll have an in-depth review of this budget smartwatch coming soon, but our reviewer had this to say: "I'm shocked by how awesome it is for the price." If you're looking for the best smartwatch under $100, nothing else comes close.

The British brand Nothing is known for its unique designs, which somehow look both retro and futuristic at the same time. CMF is the brand's budget line (which will soon be spinning off into its own company), but this doesn't perform like most cheap smartwatches. First of all, it offers direct ChatGPT integration, which even the Apple Watch can't do. Samsung and Google are eager to make you use their own AI tools, but if you prefer ChatGPT (and we know you probably do), then you'll love this watch.

Key specs include an extra-long battery life (Nothing promises 13 days), blood oxygen monitoring, stress tracking, and precise heart-rate monitoring and location tracking. For a smartwatch that often goes on sale for $79, that's frankly hard to believe.

Wait... the Ultra 2? Yes, the Ultra 2, not the latest flagship Ultra 3. Hear us out...

First, so long as you upgrade to the new watchOS 26, you can enjoy almost all of the new features that come with the pricier Apple Watch Ultra 3 (priced at $799, or $779.99 at Amazon). Plus, you can now pick up the past-gen Ultra 2 on sale for just $649, a big difference over the new version.

Look, if you're the type of person who always wants the newest Apple gadget, spend more on the new model, which does have some upgrades. The display is a teensy bit better, as is the battery life. But honestly? That's about it. The new Ultra arrived with the most iterative possible improvements. At the time, our resident Apple reviewer called it "a very minor upgrade." So, for our money, we're going with the Ultra 2, which has a killer OLED display, 36 to 72 hours of battery, and 3,000 nits of brightness.

$799 Save $150   Get Deal The best budget fitness tracker: Fitbit Charge 6 Credit: Dylan Haas / Mashable

The Fitbit Charge 6 is... fine. We included this popular Fitbit in our guide to the best fitness trackers of 2025 for a reason. For the average, casual athlete, it does a fine job of tracking your steps, heart rate, and activity.

Once upon a time, Fitbit was synonymous with fitness trackers. But to be honest, the brand has been slacking. The most recent Fitbits aren't as comfortable as you'd expect, especially for long workouts, and they can't compete with Apple, Garmin, or Pixel watches in the features department. For instance, it's lacking features like an altimeter, but on the plus side, we are big fans of the Fitbit app. So much so that some of our reviewers buy a different smartwatch but still use the Fitbit app to track workouts.

So, our verdict on the Fitbit Charge 6 is simply this: if you must.

Let's be clear: The new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is a fantastic and smart wearable, especially if you use Gemini. It's a Mashable Choice product for a reason. It has a well-rounded feature set that offers everything you need in a smartwatch, fitness tracker, and sleep tracker. And we like the signature squircle design more than most people. It also benefits from Samsung's on-point design and technology.

While it was narrowly edged out by the Pixel Watch 4, we think you'll be happy with this watch, especially if you're already in the Samsung product ecosystem. It has a bright display, great software, and smart health features, including a new Sleep Coach. It also integrates Gemini in some clever ways. Our reviewer's only real complaint was the battery life, which is fine, but not great.

Apple gadgets have really been shining bright in the Cyber Monday deals department. The Apple AirTag has dropped to $17.97 at Walmart, which is 37% off its list price. We see excellent deals on the four-pack of AirTags pretty regularly, but single AirTag deals are rarer. The AirTag is the ring leader of Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users. As long as there's an Apple device nearby with Find My turned on, you'll be able to locate whatever you attach your AirTag to with ease.

Samsung's tri-fold phone is finally real

How-To Geek - 5 hours 56 min ago

Samsung has finally revealed its tri-fold smartphone, following months of rumors and leaks. It's a phone that unfolds to reveal a 10-inch screen, and you'll be able to buy one starting in 2026.

Samsung finally makes the Galaxy Z TriFold official, announces U.S. release window

Mashable - 5 hours 57 min ago

Samsung is on a bit of a hot streak with foldables, so why not launch another one?

That seems to be the philosophy for the Korean tech giant, as Samsung just announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, a massive-looking flagship foldable with not one, but two hinges. It's designed to fold inwardly, so as to protect the gigantic main display. Samsung says there will be a series of alerts and vibrations letting users know when they're not folding it correctly, too. That makes sense, given that this is going to be a completely new form factor for a large majority of users.

Even better, you won't have to wait long to try it out. Samsung says it will launch in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2026. The company did not provide a price at this time.

Big phone. Credit: Samsung

Here are the basic specs for the Galaxy Z TriFold:

  • 10-inch main display with 2160x1584 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate

  • 6.5-inch cover display with 2520x1080 resolution and 120Z adaptive refresh rate

  • Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset

  • 16GB RAM

  • 512GB/1TB storage

  • 5,600mAh battery

  • Three rear cameras: 200MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom

From the press release and the handful of photos Samsung provided, this looks fairly similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, except bigger and with an extra hinge. It still has a large outer display, so you can use it like a normal phone without having to unfold it, but when you do unfold it, you'll be treated to a massive inner display. One of the things that made the Z Fold 7 so great was how thin it was, coming in at just 4.2mm of thickness when unfolded. Astonishingly, Samsung says the Z TriFold is just 3.9mm at its thinnest point, so Samsung seems to be prioritizing that with this phone, as well.

It comes with a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset and a very large 5,600mAh battery, too. Samsung says you can multitask with three apps open at the same time, with all of them functionally being sized the same as they would be on a regular 6.5-inch mobile display. All of Samsung's AI features are here, too, as is Gemini Live support.

There will surely be more information to come as we approach the eventual U.S. release date. This phone has been speculated about for months, with rumors pointing to a 2025 launch as recently as September. Those turned out to be true; the phone will launch in Korea in December, with the U.S. launch coming later. If you've been on the fence about foldables because their displays just haven't been big enough for you yet, this might be the one to consider.

Wait, is T-Mobiles free iPhone 17 Pro, iPad, and Apple Watch bundle as good as it sounds?

Mashable - 6 hours 32 min ago

T-MOBILE IPHONE DEAL: New and existing customers can score a free iPhone 17 Pro, an iPad, and an Apple Watch SE 3 with the "Ultimate Apple Bundle," saving up to $2,000, in theory. We checked the fine print to see if this deal is as legit as it sounds.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple T-Mobile 'Ultimate Apple Bundle' Score a free iPhone 17 Pro, an A16 iPad, and an Apple Watch SE 3 (saving up to $2,000) when you trade in an eligible device and activate three service lines on a premium T-Mobile plan. Get Deal

T-Mobile is closing out Cyber Monday with a deal that looks frankly ridiculous: the chance to get the iPhone 17 Pro (starting at $1,099), an A16 iPad (starting at $499.99), and an Apple Watch SE 3 (starting at $299.99) for free. For new and existing customers, this "Ultimate Apple Bundle" is a quick and easy way to upgrade your entire personal tech lineup (even if you don't have the cash on hand).

So, what's the catch? After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch — or iPhone — right?

Per the fine print, you can get this deal by trading in a device and activating three required service lines on a premium T-Mobile plan. Let's break it down.

SEE ALSO: Cyber Monday 2025 live: Last-chance deals and updates from Amazon, Apple, Best Buy, Walmart, and more How to get the Ultimate Apple Bundle at T-Mobile

Now, while this is a kick ass deal, the savings come with a major commitment. To qualify for the iPhone 17 Pro, you'll need to trade in an eligible device (even a damaged one is fine) and sign up for T-Mobile’s premium Experience Beyond phone plan (starting at $100+ per month with AutoPay). You'll also need to add two new service lines: one for the iPad A16 mobile internet line and one for the Apple Watch SE 3 wearable service. And, of course, there's a full sales tax on the pre-credit price of the devices due upfront, plus a $35 connection charge per device.

The total discount is delivered via bill credits stretched out over two to three years (24 months for the phone, 36 for the accessories), meaning you have to keep all those lines active and in good standing to receive the full savings. If you cancel your account early, the credits stop, and you'll be responsible for paying the full amount due.

The bottom line is this: This is an awesome deal for anyone who's already planning to trade in their phone or switch to T-Mobile (and wants the absolute latest Apple hardware without paying upfront). If you were only looking for a cheap phone deal, this commitment is probably overkill, but for the right customer, it's one of the best deals of 2025.
