Sprint Has a New Plan That Will Be Every iPhone Lover’s Dream

Yesterday we revealed the likely drop date for Apple’s latest iteration of the iPhone to be September 18 (let the countdown commence), and for many of you iPhone 6 owners who upgraded during the last round, the news might have given you a serious case of FOMO. According to Apple Insider, 20 percent of iPhone users have the latest handset — that’s one in five. We’ve got some good news, folks. Sprint just rolled out a new promo plan that allows iPhone users (yes, even iPhone 6 users!) to upgrade EVERY. YEAR. It’s called the iPhone Forever plan and this is how it works.

Just make sure you have the iPhone 6/6 Plus before September 10. Then, trade it in before December 31 in order to lock in their special promotional upgrade rate of $15 a month for the following year (the iPhone Forever plan’s monthly rate is usually $22). And success! You’ll have the 6S! (ha, see what we did there?) Something to keep in mind though, these prices only apply to the 16GB options — so if you really love your apps and photos, prepare to shell out a little more.

Early upgrade plans aren’t new, but Sprint’s plan is the first that was created exclusively towards iPhone lovers. T-Mobile users, your phone company has a similar JUMP! On Demand deal that’ll let you jump from the 6 to the 6S for $15 monthly installments. AT&T Next allows users to upgrade early in 12, 18 or 24 month increments, which they implemented prior to the release of the iPhone 6 and doesn’t always guarantee you’ll be able to trade in right when the latest iPhone handset drops. And Verizon’s Edge plan lets you pay off your early upgrade for $27 per month.

Will you be upgrading your iPhone this fall? Tell us in the comments below!

I'm a big fan of book-to-screen adaptationsfan, huge, which means I literally can't get enough of all the Emily Henry movie news, The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 updates, and literally any and every set photo I might come across on the internet. And author Carley Fortune gave us QUITE the update when she posted the first photo from the set of her new show, Every Year After (inspired by her hit debut novel Every Summer After). I'm not crying, you are.

Here's everything we know about the Every Year After TV show, based on Carley Fortune's Every Summer After.

Carley Fortune's 'Every Year After' is now filming!

Every Summer After is getting The Summer I Turned Pretty treatment thanks to a series order from Prime Video! The series will be written by showrunner Leila Gerstein (who created Hart of Dixie) and author Carley Fortune will serve as executive producer.

“We are thrilled to bring the beautifully crafted story, Every Summer After, to our global Prime Video customers as Every Year After,” Amazon MGM Studios' head of TV, Vernon Sanders, told Deadline. “Carley Fortune’s wildly successful book is the perfect blend of heartfelt nostalgia and poignant romance. With Leila Gerstein’s vision the audience will go through an exploration of this remarkable narrative in a way that captures its essence and emotional depth.”

Every Summer After holds a very special place in my heart and in the hearts of readers all over the world who deeply connect with Sam and Percy’s love story,” Carley added. “I’m excited to partner with Amazon to take their journey even further—beyond the pages of the book, onto the screen, and into the hearts of audiences across the globe.”

We haven't gotten an official cast list yet but considering the fact Prime Video never fails to give us incredible actors, I'm not worried in the slightest. Popular fan casts include Phoebe Tonkin or Olivia Cooke as Percy, Liam Hemsworth or Alex Pettyfer as Sam, Madelaine Petsch as Delilah, and Scott Eastwood or Lucas Till as Charlie.

Amazon

Every Summer Afterwas published in 2022, and if you can't tell from the cover, it has the ultimate beach read vibe (even it takes place on a lake). The book takes place over six summers of the past and one weekend in the present, and follows Percy, who hasn't been home since a single decision left her life in shambles. But when she has to return to Barry's Bay, and to Sam, she can't deny their connection — or that her mistakes are her responsibility.

Are you excited to see the Every Year After TV show? Which stars do you want to see join the cast? Stay tuned for the latest updates on the show, and check out This New England Road Trip Is For Gilmore Girls And The Summer I Turned Pretty Fans if you're already daydreaming about summer.

I am a very prepared person, which means I do my best to handle life's unexpected chaos with grace. A recent curveball that I did not prepare for was my phone dying in the middle of New York City. When you live in Manhattan, there's always a show to see, friends to grab margaritas with, and events to attend. That means you lose phone battery pretty quickly, which is exactly the one thing you don't want to go without in the middle of the city.

Ahead of my show at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, I was #influenced to buy this viral gadget to bring into the stadium with me — and it's the best portable phone charger I've ever used. I can't believe I've gone this long without it!

First Impressions

I grabbed the iWALK Small Portable Charger (which I got for $30), and the first thing I noticed was the size. The whole thing is smaller than my iPhone, meaning that it'll fit in just about any size bag and works with a lot of stadium concert rules!

It comes in multiple colors like pink and teal, but I got it in white.

The Timeline

I left for the concert at 2pm with a fully charged phone. I had to use Spotify, Google Maps, Uber, and my camera all before Taylor even came out, which means that by the time Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers had finished their opening acts (around 8 pm), my phone was on death's door.

The portable phone charger went right into the port and kept my phone alive for the rest of the night! It also didn't interfere with the audio in any of my recordings, which was super important to me.

Final Thoughts On This Portable Phone Charger

This product really surpassed my expectations because of how much power you get from such a small device. I've used it multiple times, and every time I do, my phone ends up fully charged, meaning I have enough battery for another round of adventures and antics.

I'll definitely have it in my bag all summer long. You can search on the internet for some other portable phone chargers for your summer, but this is definitely my favorite.

Even though some foodie fans may argue that the viral Dubai chocolate bars are quite overdone by now, I’m far from growing tired of them.

The sweet treat involves a luxurious mix of pistachio and knafeh (AKA finely-shredded pieces of crispy phyllo pastry), all gloriously encased in a tempered chocolate shell. The cross-section of the bar alone is enough to get my chocolate cravings going. Plus, when you pair it with pistachio, you truly can’t lose.

Starbucks fans have developed a new menu hack that tastes just like the viral Dubai chocolate bars. Keep reading for how to order it!

Starbucks

Pistachio is also insanely good with coffee – I’m a frequent pistachio latte order-er at my closest coffee shop. The nuttiness compliments the bitterness of the espresso, but pistachio never fails to bring just the right amount of sweetness to every sip.

Starbucks

Starbucks fans are undoubtedly privy to this exact flavor combo. The chain’s been slinging pistachio lattes and cold brews since they launched their winter lineup in January (they've also already got something exciting on the way for spring).

The drink is said to bring “cozy flavors” with notes of sweet pistachio and brown butter.

But the latest pistachio drink on Starbucks’ menu isn’t necessarily on the menu – it’s a secret menu hack that Dubai chocolate devotees developed!

@sdegnon

Meet the Dubai Chocolate Bar Matcha Latte: it’s essentially an Iced Matcha Latte with pistachio sauce topped with chocolate cold foam.

Food writer with Delish, Megan, noted that it’s “sweet and smooth” with a “creamy finish” that’s only enhanced by the chocolate cold foam. I can only imagine that the earthiness of the matcha powder helps level up the drink, too!

Starbucks

Here’s how to order the Dubai Chocolate Bar Matcha Latte!

First, start by ordering an Iced Matcha Latte. Based on the size of the drink you order, ask for pumps of pistachio sauce:

  • Tall: 1 pump of pistachio sauce
  • Grande: 2 pumps of pistachio sauce
  • Venti: 3 pumps of pistachio sauce

From there, ask for the drink with chocolate cold foam. You can also customize your sip with your preferred milk or alternative milk.

Finally, you’ve got your Dubai Chocolate Bar Matcha Latte to enjoy. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
