Want the New iPhone 16E? Join Visible+ To Get One for Free
The awaited iPhone 16E is finally here. Pre-orders started last week, but the phone officially released today, February 28. Apple claims this is an affordable iPhone option. However, even though it's less than other models, it's by no means affordable. It starts at $599 for the base model with 125GB of storage. Thankfully, despite its recent debut, there are many iPhone 16E deals you can take advantage of. One of them even gets you the phone for free.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
If you're looking to join or switch to a new phone plan, Visible by Verizon has a deal you can't pass up. New customers can enjoy the iPhone 16E for free (yes, free) when they sign up for the Visible+ plan. Visible will offer a bill credit every month for 24 months to cover the phone's cost. Just remember that this discount is only for new customers who keep Visible+ for the full 24 months, and there's a limit of one device per member.
To qualify for the free iPhone 16E, you have to sign up for Visible Wireless' Visible Plus plan. For an annual plan, it costs a total of $395 or it's $35 a month when you use code 35PLUS; this will save you $10 a month. The plan offers unlimited talk, text and data, and since Visible Plus uses the 5G Ultra Wideband Verizon network, the signal will be strong. You'll even get unlimited mobile hotspot data and unlimited talk and text in Mexico and Canada and 2GB of data per day -- useful for frequent travelers.
This new iPhone 16E has a four-core A18 processor and a new C1 5G modem -- the most power-efficient modem we've seen on any iPhone model to date. Like the iPhone 16 lineup, it's also designed for Apple Intelligence and even has its own button for Visual Intelligence. Apple claims the 16E has an impressive battery life that will last up to "12 hours longer than all generations of iPhone SE." The camera is also great, with a single back camera that has a 48-megapixel sensor. As for the front camera, it is 12-megapixels and supports Face ID and has autofocus for selfies. The basic model has 128GB of storage, with prices starting at $599.
If this isn't the plan for you, no worries. Take a look at our full roundup of phone plan deals to better fit your needs. And if you're looking for a different iPhone, check out the top iPhone deals you can shop right now.
This deal is pretty incredible for those who want the iPhone 16E and a different phone carrier. New members can score a free iPhone 16E when they switch to Visible Plus by Verizon. This offer expires on March 13, so make sure to sign up before then. You will still need to pay any applicable phone taxes and/or fees and will receive bill credits across 24 months for the phone. If you change plans or fail to maintain active service, you will no longer receive credit and will need to pay for the phone.

Adaptive Power in iOS 26 Could Save the iPhone 17 Air From This Major Pitfall
There's one feature Apple unveiled during WWDC on Monday that didn't get the attention I think it deserves: Adaptive Power. This AI-powered feature can help your iPhone battery last longer by lowering your display's brightness and making "small performance adjustments" like "allowing some activities to take a little longer," according to Apple. It'll also turn on Low Power Mode automatically when your battery drops to 20% to limit background activities and further extend battery life. Adaptive Power can come in clutch no matter what phone you have (as long as it can run iOS 26), but where it really has the potential to be a game-changer is with the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Apple's thinner iPhone is expected to debut in the fall, though the company has yet to confirm reports about its imminent arrival. A skinny iPhone would join the ranks of other slim phones like Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge and the Oppo Find N5, which both came out earlier this year. And on Monday, hot on the heels of WWDC, Samsung also shared a teaser about its upcoming Galaxy Z foldable series, calling it "the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet." Thin phones can come across as gimmicky (who asked for them, really?), but they're undoubtedly having a moment as companies look for new ways to lure your dollars. After using devices like the Galaxy S25 Edge and Oppo Find N5, I can attest that holding a slim, lightweight phone is quite refreshing, and I'm eager to see what Apple has in store. But there's also a major downside to building a phone with such a slim profile, as I experienced recently with the S25 Edge: Battery life takes a hit. A thinner phone also means a smaller battery, which means shorter battery life. The S25 Edge, for instance, definitely needs a recharge at the end of the day -- no excess battery there. If Apple can find a way to make the iPhone 17 Air last beyond that bare minimum amount, that could really help its slim offering stand out. Adaptive Power may be the superpower Apple needs to appeal to anyone who won't sacrifice battery life for a thinner phone. But whether this feature truly is a breakthrough is up in the air -- along with the reality of the iPhone 17 Air itself.

Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) Concludes Exchange Offers and Cash Offers for Old Notes
Verizon Communications recently completed a series of debt exchange and cash offers, aimed at optimizing its balance sheet, which expired on June 18, 2025, with the settlement set for June 25, 2025. Despite these potentially stabilizing efforts, Verizon's stock saw a 3% decline last week. This price movement was in contrast to the broader flat market performance and could have been influenced by the company's ongoing debt management maneuvers. Such financial adjustments are generally seen as steps toward strengthening a company's fiscal health, even as the market itself remained relatively unchanged in the short term. You should learn about the 2 possible red flags we've spotted with Verizon Communications. Uncover the next big thing with financially sound penny stocks that balance risk and reward. Verizon's recent completion of debt exchange and cash offers aims to optimize its balance sheet, a move that aligns with its strategic focus on strengthening fiscal health. Despite these efforts, the stock's 3% decline last week suggests that the market may still be cautious about potential impacts on the company's performance. With a consensus price target of US$48.07, the recent price movement leaves room for potential appreciation, as the current share price of US$44.15 remains 8.1% below this target. Over the past year, Verizon's total return, including share price and dividends, was 10.61%. This is notably lower than the broader US telecom industry, which saw a return of 26.4% over the same period. Such underperformance could be attributed to the challenges faced by Verizon, including intense competition and regulatory pressures that threaten its margins and revenue growth. The company's focus on convergence in fiber and C-Band technologies is expected to drive long-term revenue gains, although these initiatives may take time to reflect in earnings forecasts. Analysts project Verizon's revenue to grow by 1.7% annually over the next three years, reaching US$142.2 billion by May 2028, with a rise in earnings to US$21.7 billion. These figures suggest a cautious optimism regarding Verizon's ability to improve its financial performance. However, potential risks such as the macroeconomic environment and tariff uncertainties could impact these forecasts. As Verizon continues to navigate these shifts, its price-to-earnings ratio of 9.9x remains favorable compared to the industry average, presenting a valuation that may appeal to investors looking for value opportunities.

When Will Apple Launch The New MacBook Air And MacBook Pro?
A MacBook Pro is displayed inside the Apple Carnegie Library store on May 30, 2025 (Photo by Kevin ...) While the main iPhone line has its launch date fixed to early September, the Mac portfolio, especially the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops, has been adrift in the calendar for many years. Thankfully, Apple is settling into a steady rhythm of new releases across its hardware portfolio, bringing some stability to the Mac announcements. For many, that means regular updates to the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops. Finding An Annual MacBook Pro Schedule Apple has indicated that it now prefers annual updates on software and hardware. The recent move to unify the various operating systems to a single number pointing to the year where it will be dominant only works with annual refreshes on the cardinal number and the associated software. The key hardware upgrade is the Apple Silicon chipset. Over the last five years, Apple has rolled out five major versions of the M-Series chipsets. Through these, Tim Cook and his team have worked to bring the chaotic laptop releases under some control. It now looks like the patterns set in 2024 will continue in 2025 and 2026, which lets us start putting some dates into the calendar. And it's the Apple Silicon M-Series that highlights Apple's consistent upgrade path. MacBook Pro's iPad Pro Barrier The current MacBook Pro was launched in late October 2024, five months after the Apple Silicon M4 chipset debuted with the iPad Pro M4. That happened one month before Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. That iPad captured the love and 'new car smell' of the Apple Silicon M4 away from the Mac family. That's not the case this year; not only has a new iPad Pro been announced, but WWDC has also been and gone with no announcement of the Apple Silicon M5. With roughly eighteen months between each of the last three models, this doesn't come as a huge surprise, given we're looking at cadences. That should clear the way for the M5 to arrive inside new Mac products.. When Will The New MacBook Pro M5 Arrive Apple first launched the MacBook Pro with the M1 Max and M1 Pro chips on Oct. 18, 2021. The M2 Pro and M2 Max models arrived later in the cycle, on Jan. 17, 2023. Normal service resumed on Oct. 30 2023 with the M3 Pro and M3 Max models, with Oct 30. 2024 seeing the M4 Pro and M4 Max models (alongside the vanilla M4 model). There are enough signs from the supply chain that Apple's pre-release activities are following the same schedule as last year, for example, the Apple Silicon M5 chipsets are now in production. The schedule has been confirmed throughout the year. Oct. 30th is a Thursday this year. Apple tends to go earlier in the week for a launch, so it's likely Tuesday, Oct. 28th or Wednesday, Oct. 29th. Either way, Halloween week is the safest bet so far. And perhaps for more than the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro M5 Competition As for the eighteen-month window on the iPad Pro, that points to a similar late October launch. Apple will be considering a launch of the iPad Pro M5 alongside the MacBook Pro M5. Both the laptop and the tablet are geared towards different markets with different scenarios, and launching them together to complement each other would allow for the similarities of macOS and iPadOS to be demonstrated, as well as illustrating the different approaches Apple's mobile computing teams have taken. It's worth noting that the current M4-powered MacBook Air was launched in early March 2025, some ten months after the reveal of the M4 chipset in the iPad Pro, putting the consumer-focused laptop close to a year behind the current technology, while still giving the appearance of sitting on the cutting edge. Will The MacBook Pro M5 Be Enough All of this stands in the shadow of one key detail around the MacBook Pro M5… that it will be little more than an internal upgrade to allow for the Apple Silicon bump. The external design changes—including the long-awaited arrival of an OLED display—may be waiting for the M6-powered model in 2026.
