Forget iPhone for life, now you can have Apple for life, thanks to Sprint’s latest promotion. Those who want to sign up for the carrier’s iPhone leasing program can get an iPad Mini 3 thrown in for free. The entire deal — including Sprint’s Simply Unlimited talk, text, and data plan, the iPhone 6, and the iPad Mini 3 — will cost you just $100 a month.

You’ll pay just $20 a month to lease the iPhone, $50 a month for the unlimited plan, and $30 a month for 2GB of data on your new iPad Mini 3. Sprint will cut out the activation fee, down payment, and $17 a month fee for the latest iPad Mini. It may not save you a ton of money, but it’s still a decent deal. Sprint is offering just the 16GB iPad Mini 3 and the iPhone 6 in this particular promotion, which ends on April 9.

Then, once you’ve leased the iPhone 6 for 12 or 24 months, depending on which version of the program you choose, you’ll have the choice to return it, buy it, upgrade, or exit the program forever. Sprint’s also added the iPad Air 2 to the leasing program, although it’s not bundled up with the iPhone for Life deal.

In recent months, Sprint has added a slew of top Android phones to its leasing program, which started out with just the iPhone. So far, no other tablets are offered on Sprint’s leasing program, though. You can check out Sprint’s offer on its website.

iOS 18 makes an 11-year-old iPhone feature exciting again

Following the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024) keynote, developers are starting to dig into the first iOS 18 developer beta. Though this beta lacks Apple Intelligence and many of the other features demoed on Monday, it offers a surprising new take on an old iOS feature: the flashlight.

The built-in flashlight feature has been available on the iPhone since iOS 7, which was released in 2013. It hasn't changed much at all since then, which makes sense, given its basic function. Interestingly, it has received a significant update in iOS 18.

We're just days away from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024), which means we're about to get our first look at iOS 18. The new iPhone operating system is expected to get RCS texting in the iMessage app, more customization options for the home screen, and maybe a significant design change overall. Now comes word that changes will be made to the native Mail app.

According to AppleInsider, the Mail app is about to undergo a significant transformation. It's getting a powerful new search tool, Smart Replies, automatic sorting for different email types, and more. But the real excitement lies in the app's expected integration of AI functionality, a feature becoming a hallmark of iOS 18.
