The iPhone Duo launched last week, and naturally, there was a lot of fuss made about Apple's first-ever foldable. Not all of the chatter was positive, but the iPhone Duo did dominate the conversation at least. Now that the dust has settled, something truly wonderful has happened for Apple fans.

No, we're not talking about resolutions to any of the issues surrounding the launch. We're talking about the triumphant return of T-Mobile's free iPhone deals. For the last few weeks, T-Mobile pulled back on the free deals for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 Pro. Times were tough, but we made it through.

For a limited time, you can get your hands on the Apple iPhone 18 Pro for free with T-Mobile. To qualify for this deal, you simply need to switch to T-Mobile and bring your number to the Experience Beyond plan. Alternatively, you can save $1,200 on the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max by doing the same.

The full savings are distributed as monthly credits over a 36-month payment plan. If you leave T-Mobile before the end of the three-year contract, you will be charged the remaining balance. You also need to pay local sales tax on the phone's full retail value upfront, plus a standard $35 device connection fee per line at checkout.

You're making a commitment to T-Mobile and getting a flagship phone for free in return. That sounds like a pretty good deal to us.

Get the Apple iPhone 18 Pro for free this weekend with T-Mobile.

Square fire pits are noticeably easier to arrange patio chairs around than circular bowls, and the Master Forge Steel Square Wood-Burning Fire Pit hits the sweet spot between a permanent backyard centerpiece and a portable setup you can shift around the yard.

Its angular, all-metal frame is treated with a high-temperature, rust-resistant powder coat so it won't crumble after a season in damp weather, while the included mesh spark screen keeps runaway embers from drifting into your crowd. The design details also make keeping a fire alive much less of a chore. Built-in log grates lift your firewood off the base, pulling in fresh airflow underneath so flames roar faster with less babysitting.

The Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is less than a week away, with the highly anticipated game scheduled to officially drop on Nov. 5. That means there's limited time to take advantage of Amazon's deal on physical copy preorders.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was initially priced at $69.99, but the preorder price has since dropped to $59.88 (roughly the same price as the digital version). If you're undecided, check out the gameplay preview footage that's had Zelda fans pumped for almost two months. Trust us, this is one of the key releases for the Switch 2.

Nintendo is also releasing special packaging with textured foil cover art as part of the first print run on the physical edition — another reason this is a must-own game for collectors and Zelda diehards.

The other bonus of the Amazon price drop is that the retailer is also offering a price guarantee on these preorders. If the price changes between now and when you receive your copy on or around Nov. 5 — when your card will actually be charged — you'll only pay the lowest price point from that period (if it drops to $57 before you receive the game, for instance, that's the price you'll pay).

Don't miss your chance to get $10 off The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time before the official release on Nov.5.

This Week 9 game won't have any impact on the college football rankings — neither the Clemson Tigers nor the Florida State Seminoles have made the top 25 — but it's a big game for the Seminoles, who now have a run of games that could see them climb the Atlantic Coast Conference.

At this point in the season, with just four weeks of regular season to go, everyone in reach is making a play for the conference championship — which makes this another must-watch game for college football fans. Not to mention the fact that both teams are looking to bounce back from losses in their last games.

When is Clemson vs. Florida State?

Clemson vs. Florida State starts at 7 p.m. ET on Oct. 31. This game takes place at the Bobby Bowden Field at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.

The Wisconsin Badgers are looking to make it two wins in two games after turning over USC last week and entering the rankings at 25 — their first time on the AP rankings so far this season. They now face the Iowa Hawkeyes.

At 5-2, they're on equal pegging with the Hawkeyes' win-loss record, but the Badgers have fared better in conference play. A win for Iowa could see them start to climb the ranks of the Big 10 and keep any playoff hopes alive. Whatever happens, this should be a tough Week 9 game from two similarly matched teams.

If you want to watch Wisconsin vs. Iowa for free from anywhere in the world, here's all the information you need.

When is Wisconsin vs. Iowa?

Wisconsin vs. Iowa takes place at 12 p.m. ET on Oct. 31. This game takes place at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.

My desk used to run on a tangle of adapters: a laptop charger, a video cable, a USB hub, and a dongle for everything else. A monitor with a proper USB-C port cleared most of that away. Here’s how it works, and when a dock still makes more sense.

Save $50: The DJI Mini 3 drone is down to $369 at Amazon. It's usually priced at $419, giving you a saving of $50.

We can't help but get excited for deals at this time of year. Black Friday is just around the corner, and retailers jump on the excitement by dropping prices earlier and earlier every holiday shopping season. If you're specifically in the market for a deal on a drone, we've spotted an excellent price drop on one of the most popular drones around, the DJI Mini 3.

We can understand why you might be looking for a discount on a DJI drone. Following changes in U.S. law last year, there's a ban on future imports of the Chinese-made DJI drones. We fully expect prices to skyrocket as the existing U.S. stocks of these drones become increasingly scarce.

As of Oct. 31, the DJI Mini 3 drone is down to $369 on Amazon, saving you $50 off the regular list price of $419.

The DJI Mini 3 is lots of fun to fly, which is the bare minimum you want from a drone. It takes off from the palm of your hand and boasts a GPS-enabled auto-return function.

But we also recommend it for content creators and aerial photographers. It shoots 4K footage and boasts a selection of creative QuickShots features, including True Vertical, Helix, and Boomerang shots. It also offers one-tap editing, letting you edit your footage right there and then.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

The Moon is still looking fairly full in the night sky, but we're now in the Waning Gibbous phase, when the illuminated portion starts to decrease night by night.

What is today's Moon phase?

As of Saturday, Oct. 31, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the Waning Gibbous phase, with 68% of its surface visible.

Tonight, without the use of visual aids you should be able to spot the Tycho Crater, Copernicus Crater, and the Mare Imbrium. Binoculars will also help you see the Alphonsus Crater, the Clavius Crater, and the Apennine Mountains. And, if you have access to a telescope, you'll also see the Apollo 16 landing spot, the Schiller Crater, and the Rima Ariadaeus.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on November 24.

What are Moon phases?

The Moon takes approximately 29.5 days to complete an orbit around Earth, going through a series of phases along the way. Depending on its position relative to Earth and the Sun, the amount of its illuminated surface we can see changes, creating the familiar sequence of crescents, quarter moons and the Full Moon. Once the cycle is complete, the pattern repeats, as explained by NASA.

The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it's not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. 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.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Today's NYT Strands hints will be easy if you celebrate Halloween.

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.
