As of Sept. 19, get up to $1,100 off an iPhone 17 with a qualifying trade-in and activation of eligible plan, plus get a free Apple Watch Series 11 and iPad (A16) at Verizon. The biggest potential trade-in discount makes the iPhone 17 Pro free, and it's available with signups for the Ultimate unlimited plan.

Plus, get $200 as part of a switching bonus as well as the iPad and Apple Watch to make this an even more enticing deal. Both devices will require activation of a cellular data plan.

To score this deal, head to Verizon and start the buying process, where you'll see the deal lined out in the "1 available offer" blurb on this Apple Watch Series 11 page: "Get an iPhone 17 Pro, Apple Watch Series 11, and iPad (A16), all on us."

But since this is the official iPhone 17 launch day and preorders will no longer be available, you'll want to act quickly to lock yours in as this deal likely won't stick around for much longer.

We know you're looking for the catch, and this deal does come with a few caveats. You will need to pay tax on the full retail price and there's a pesky activation fee of $35 per line.

Stephen King has taken a pause from his usual schedule of calling out Donald Trump on social media and reviewing horror movies to share his thoughts on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension by ABC.

The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host and longtime Trump critic was taken off the air after his comments made during Monday's show about how Republicans were reacting to the shooting of Charlie Kirk. And while Trump, who has been calling for Kimmel's sacking for years, gloated over the decision, a large number of celebrities and other late night hosts were quick to leap to Kimmel's defence.

King has now joined their ranks.

"Don't expect corporations (lookin' at you, ABC) to behave morally," wrote the horror author on X on Thursday. "Corps care about one thing: profit$. If you want Jimmy Kimmel back, you gotta holler your head off."

Kimmel's suspension came after Trump ally and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair Brendan Carr criticised his comments on a podcast earlier in the week, and threatened to punish ABC and its parent company Disney. TV station owner Nexwtar Media subsequently refused to air Kimmel's show, which then led on to ABC making the decision to "indefinitely suspend" Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday.

In 1984, a film premiered that would bring the mockumentary format into the mainstream. Parodying music documentaries such as The Song Remains the Same (1976) and The Last Waltz (1978), it would go on to be a massive cult classic, inspiring such shows as The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Modern Family. This film was called This is Spinal Tap, a fake documentary following a band struggling to stay together amidst the trials and tribulations of musical success in the early 1980s. One challenge they continue to face: All of their drummers end up dead under hilariously mysterious circumstances. For decades, fans have yearned for a follow-up film. And finally, 41 years later, we have the long-awaiting sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.

To promote the film, the stars and creators of the film — Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest), David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean), Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), and Marty DiBergi (Rob Reiner) — conducted interviews entirely in character. And Mashable Executive Producer Mark Stetson took this as an opportunity to parody their parody, making a mockumentary of his own.

This short film follows "documentarian" Mark St. Etson, whose father died like so many Spinal Tap-inspired drummers before him — by spontaneously combusting. So Mark confronts the band about taking responsibility for their now-12 dead drummers. Does Mark find the peace he is looking for from the band?

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is now in theaters.

Pips is the newest game in the New York Times catalogue. Released in August 2025, the new game 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. Like dominoes, the tiles 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 September 17, 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.
