T-Mobile celebrates the iPhone SE’s March 31 launch with a BOGO half-off deal

Apple’s 4-inch iPhone SE is about to hit stores on March 31 — and with pre-orders hitting 3.4 million in China alone — T-Mobile is jumping on the hype with a buy one get one half off deal.

The deal doesn’t just apply to the iPhone SE. In fact, if you buy any new iPhone from T-Mobile’s offerings, you can get another one half off — but you have to add a line to your plan. The deal works for the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, 6, 6 Plus, the 5S, 5C, and of course, the iPhone SE. If you have already pre-ordered an iPhone SE, you can still participate in the offer.

If you take the Un-carrier’s offer, you’ll get half of the money back from the second “iPhone device of equal or lesser value” through a prepaid Mastercard.

The magenta Un-carrier hasn’t been shy with these types of deals for big device launches — it had a buy one get one free offer when Samsung’s Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge launched earlier this month.

To qualify for the plan, you have to enroll in an equipment installment plan for both devices, meaning you’ll have to pay them off in monthly payments, rather than upfront. The line you add for the second device will also have to stay active until October 15 of 2016.

T-Mobile’s BOGO half off deal in celebration of the iPhone SE’s launch is limited to stock, and kicks off on March 31. It’s unknown how long it will last, but if you want to get an iPhone for a good price, it’s a good idea to jump on the deal. You can check out all the details on T-Mobile’s website.

I started using the iPhone 16e and it’s better than I expected
The camera on the iPhone 16e

Yesterday marked a crucial moment for Apple as it launched the iPhone 16e around the world. Every iPhone launch is important, but the iPhone 16e is particularly important for a few reasons.

It’s the evolution of the Apple iPhone SE lineup, and like its spiritual ancestors, the iPhone 16e features a more affordable yet cutback version of the rest of the lineup. Unlike its ancestors, it also features several trademarks of the iPhone experience, including Face ID, an OLED display, and the latest-generation processor.

Apple says iPhone 16e users don’t care about MagSafe — they’re probably right
A group of iPhone 16e phones arranged in a pattern.

The iPhone 16e launches today, and the first reviews are starting to appear online. One review that caught my attention was from John Gruber at Daring Fireball. The lengthy review has some information he picked up from Apple officials on why the company elected not to include MagSafe for wireless charging on the iPhone 16e. The reason is almost certainly on the mark and isn't all about saving money.

As we’ve already noted, Apple’s latest budget phone shares many features with the iPhone 16. However, the iPhone 16e is priced $200 lower. As a result, some features present in the iPhone 16 are omitted from the iPhone 16e, with MagSafe being one of them.

World’s thinnest phone is here, but it’s not the iPhone 17 Air or Galaxy S25 Edge

The year 2025 could very well mark the arrival of super slim phones. Samsung has already given us a glimpse of the Galaxy S25 Edge, and could launch it as soon as April. Apple, on the other hand, is heavily anticipated to launch an iPhone 17 Air model later this year.

It seems a relatively unknown brand will beat them to the game.
