Forget iPhone for Life — Sprint will give you an iPhone 6, iPad Mini 3, and unlimited plan for $100 a month

By Malarie Gokey Published February 3, 2015

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.

Don’t hold your hopes for a fancy design refresh on the iPhone 17 Pro

The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max's screen.

For nearly half a decade, Apple has sold smartphones that fundamentally serve the same design language originating on the iPhone 11. Later this year, the iPhone 17 series will hit the shelves. If you’ve been expecting an aesthetic makeover, there’s some bad news for you, unless you’re ready to spend big bucks on one of the Pro models.

According to Bloomberg, the iPhone 17 Pro “will look meaningfully different,” compared to its iPhone 16 series counterpart. Alongside the rumored super-sleek iPhone 17 Air trim, these two are reportedly the biggest design refreshes in recent years on Apple smartphones. The approach, however, would still be quite modest.

iPad is the best secondary screen I’ve used with a MacBook

You can extend your MacBook's screen by using an iPad as a secondary monitor.

I spend an unhealthy amount of time lurking in communities where people share aesthetic desktop setups. One of my friends recently set the group chat on fire with a triple monitor setup that had two vertical screens and an ultrawide curved panel at the center. An impulse swipe later, I achieved a similar makeover for my desk at home.

Here’s the problem, though. My $600 workstation overhaul did bring me visual joy, but not much utility. For reporting assignments, I spend the majority of the year away from home, working from deserted cafes or unnaturally uncomfortable bunk beds. I do miss the convenience of large secondary screens. Interestingly, that yearning is addressed by a rather unconventional device —the humble iPad.

Save $80 and finally get the iPad 10th Gen at the right price with this deal

Two hands holding an iPad.

If you want to get one of the best iPads, you should expect to pay quite a bit. However, if you wait a few years, you can get a good deal, and that's especially the case with the Apple iPad 10th Gen, a 2022 model. It retailed at $449, then later got its base price cut to $349 last May.

Now, for a limited time, when you buy one at Walmart you can get it for just $269. That's a savings of $80 off of the May 2024 and an incredible $180 off of the original retail price of $449 back in 2022. In fact, it is only $45 away from being half price compared to its debut price for this short time. That's exciting, especially considering 2022 wasn't that long ago.
