Posted: 18 Sep 2019 08:30 PM PDT

T-Mobile has been known for launching ad campaigns in direct and blatant opposition of its competitors. The latest campaign is called "VerHIDEzon" which refers to Verizon's lack of a 5G coverage map.

Something had to be done. @Verizon's been talking a big game about 5G, charging more for it and not even giving customers a map to find it. Hopefully all of NYC (and the rest of the country) now realizes @verHIDEzon =...

Info coming from Taiwan shows that 70% of pre-orders are for iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. People seem to be preferring the 256GB model, 64GB really isn't much these days. Anyway, the other 30% of pre-orders are for the vanilla model. A couple of days ago, Ming-Chi Kuo reported that in...
