AMC+ is hiking the price on all of its subscription plans
AMC+ is hiking the price on all of its subscription plans
The ad-supported monthly plan has jumped 60% over the past 13 months. Nowadays, in streaming, it’s not “if,” but “when.” Prices are going to increase for nearly every streaming service on a practically annual basis, and the latest platform to announce a rate hike is AMC+ . When the streamer’s parent company, AMC Networks, reported its fourth quarter 2025 earnings, part of the announcement included details of rising prices on all subscription plans, beginning immediately for new customers and in March for existing subscribers. Key Details: An inevitability: AMC+ has raised its prices on all subscription plans, effective immediately for new subscribers. A small reprieve: The rate hikes will go into effect for existing customers in March. A never-ending story: In the past 13 months, AMC+’s ad-supported monthly plan has jumped 60% in terms of price. 7-Day Free Trial $7.99+ / month amc+ via amazon.com Before the price bump, AMC+ offered three different subscription options; an ad-supported monthly plan for $7, an ad-free monthly plan for $10, and an ad-free annual plan for $96. All of those plans will see an increase, moving to $8, $11, and $110, respectively. These increases are now in place for consumers looking to sign up for the service, and current customers will see the new prices reflected on their renewal bills beginning on March 13. AMC+ is the home to numerous prestige TV shows and a library of film favorites, and what makes the platform unique is that it is essentially a catchall for all of the company’s platforms. So, in addition to AMC and AMC+ titles, you can also stream titles from Shudder , Sundance Now , IFC Films Unlimited , BBC America , and more. That means that you are able to stream such hits as “The Walking Dead ” and all of its spin-offs, ‘Orphan Black ,” “Dark Winds ,” “Interview With a Vampire ,” “Mad Men ,” “Mayfair Witches ,” “Halt and Catch Fire ,” “The Graham Norton Show ,” “A Discovery of Witches ,” “Luther ,” “Sherlock ,” “Snowpiercer ,” “TNA iMPACT! ,” and more. AMC+ last raised its prices in January 2025 , with the ad-supported plan going from $5 to $7 and $9 to $10 for ad-free. So, in a little over a year, the monthly plans have increased in price 60% and 22%, respectively. While the individual adjustments are not too dramatic in terms of dollars, the cumulative impact of every streamer raising its prices year after year continues to have an impact as consumers are routinely pointing to price concerns as the reason they are canceling , or at least pulling back, on streaming. 7-Day Trial amc+ via amazon.com AMC+ AMC+ is a premium subscription streaming bundle owned by AMC Networks. It offers curated access to award-winning originals, indie films, and prestige television. Launched in June 2020, the service combines content from AMC with flagship brands such as BBC America, IFC, Sundance TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, and IFC Films Unlimited, delivering a rich library of exclusive programming and early episode access. … AMC+ features exclusive original series like “Gangs of London,” “Ragdoll,” “Firebite,” “Anne Boleyn,” and “Kin,” along with critically acclaimed films and simulcasted favorites such as those from The Walking Dead universe. The service supports up to five simultaneous streams and includes access to six live channels — including AMC, BBC America, and The Walking Dead Channel — alongside on-demand content. It also allows for offline downloads for ad-free subscribers. The service is available directly via amcplus.com or the AMC+ app on platforms such as Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, iOS, Android, and smart TVs. It’s also accessible through Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video Channels, The Roku Channel, Sling TV, Dish, and YouTube TV. However, free trial eligibility and app access may vary depending on the provider. Viewers can sign up for a 7-day free trial when subscribing directly through AMC+ or its app, though eligibility may vary depending on the platform. With its depth of high-quality content, flexible pricing, and seamless streaming capabilities, AMC+ remains a top-tier choice for horror fans, prestige dramas, indie films, and compelling originals. 7-Day Trial $7.99+ / month amc+ via amazon.com

What you need to know about Wi-Fi 7 with T-Mobile
What you need to know about Wi-Fi 7 with T-Mobile
We’ll explain why T-Mobile Home Internet plans are the perfect springboard to the future of Wi-Fi here. We’ve written a lot about how T-Mobile Home Internet can help viewers stay connected, enjoy free streaming benefits, and get big savings over competitors like AT&T and Verizon in the process. But T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi isn’t just a great choice for now; it’s also a way to stay connected in a future where Wi-Fi 7 is the high standard of internet service. T-Mobile offers Wi-Fi 7 with select plans now, and we’ll explain why it’s such a good choice for consumers who are ready to leap into the future with Wi-Fi 7. Why T-Mobile is perfect for upgrading to Wi-Fi 7 What is Wi-Fi 7? Which T-Mobile plans are Wi-Fi 7 compatible? Prepare for the future with T-Mobile T-Mobile Streaming Benefits T-Mobile’s plans offer unlimited talk, text, and even come with some free streaming services. Get started now What is Wi-Fi 7? Wi-Fi 7 is the next generation of the Wi-Fi standard, offering improvements that will bring faster speeds, wider channels, less latency, and more flexibility. It supports theoretical speeds of up to 46 Gbps — around four times the top speed of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E. Wi-Fi 7 channels are as wide as 320 MHz, twice the width of Wi-Fi 6, meaning there’s more room for data to travel with less interference from other networks. Any way you examine it, Wi-Fi 7 is a major upgrade over Wi-Fi 6, and is being adopted by internet service providers widely now. Wi-Fi 7 is perfect for viewers who want to stream in 4K, and can even support 8K resolution in a future where this video quality is widely available. Does T-Mobile offer Wi-Fi 7? Which plans come with Wi-Fi 7 compatibility? T-Mobile offers Wi-Fi 7-compatible gateways with two of its home internet plans. The first is the Amplified plan, which starts at $60 per month with no autopay set up or bundled voice lines. This plan includes speeds up to nearly 500 Mbps, unlimited data, a five-year price guarantee, exclusive perks via the T-Mobile Tuesdays platform, and free access to a Wi-Fi 7 gateway. For those who truly want the highest-speed experiences with T-Mobile, the All-In plan is the way to go. For $70 per month, this plan includes everything in the Amplified plan, as well as a Mesh Wi-Fi extender, a gateway upgrade after three years, advanced cyber security, and ad-supported Hulu and Paramount+ subscriptions included at no additional cost. Prepare for the future with T-Mobile As explained, Wi-Fi 7 is the future of connectivity, and providers are already scrambling to ensure that their hardware can keep up. But T-Mobile is already equipped to ensure that customers can take full advantage of Wi-Fi 7, and with the gateway upgrade included in the All-In plan, subscribers will be able to future-proof their home internet setup and ensure steady access to Wi-Fi 7 in the years to come. And don’t forget, T-Mobile Amplified and All-In plans come with a five-year price guarantee, so even as Wi-Fi 7 becomes more widely available, T-Mobile subscribers won’t have to worry about a sudden jump in the price of their plan as a result. Wi-Fi 7 has already arrived at T-Mobile, so if you want a home internet plan that includes a free Wi-Fi 7 gateway, you owe it to yourself to take a look at the company’s Amplified and All-In Home Internet plans. See if you live in an area eligible to receive T-Mobile Home Internet, and start living in the Wi-Fi 7 revolution now! T-Mobile Streaming Benefits T-Mobile’s plans offer unlimited talk, text, and even come with some free streaming services. Get started now

Apple Expected to Unveil Five All-New Products This Year
Apple Expected to Unveil Five All-New Products This Year
In addition to updating many of its existing products, Apple is expected to unveil five all-new products this year, including a smart home hub, a Face ID doorbell, a MacBook with an A18 Pro chip, a foldable iPhone, and augmented reality glasses. Below, we have recapped rumored features for each product. Smart Home Hub Apple home hub (concept) Apple's long-rumored smart home hub should be released this year, according to rumors. The device was originally expected to be unveiled last year, but the launch was reportedly postponed until the more personalized version of Siri is ready. The home hub is rumored to feature a 6-inch to 7-inch square display, and an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence support. The device can reportedly be attached to a speaker base, or mounted on a wall, and it would allow users to control smart home accessories, make FaceTime video calls, and more. It might even double as a home security system. Smart Doorbell In December 2024, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple was in the early stages of developing a smart home doorbell and lock system with Face ID. He said the doorbell would wirelessly connect to a compatible deadbolt lock. Gurman said Apple's doorbell would launch in 2026 at the earliest, so it could be unveiled this year if that timeframe remains accurate. Apple would surely tout the privacy and security benefits of its own smart home doorbell. Apple already offers a HomeKit Secure Video service with end-to-end encryption for storing footage in iCloud, and the doorbell could have a Secure Enclave. The doorbell would be one of several new smart home products that Apple is reportedly planning, with the others being the aforementioned smart home hub, and own HomeKit-enabled indoor camera. This would add to a lineup of home products that already includes the Apple TV, HomePod, and HomePod mini. MacBook With A18 Pro Chip Apple plans to release a lower-priced MacBook with a version of the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro chip this year, according to several reports and leakers. This would be an all-new model positioned below the MacBook Air in the Mac lineup. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo was first to reveal that Apple is allegedly planning a more affordable MacBook. Last year, he said the laptop would have around a 13-inch display and come in silver, blue, pink, and yellow finishes. A few rumors have specifically mentioned that it will have a 12.9-inch display. The lower-cost MacBook could have a lot in common with the discontinued 12-inch MacBook, including an ultra-thin and lightweight design. However, that model was powered by Intel processors. Apple stopped selling the 12-inch MacBook in July 2019, so there has been a long wait for a similar model powered by Apple silicon. In the iPhone 16 Pro, the A18 Pro chip has a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU. The chip's performance is similar to the M1 chip, so this new MacBook could effectively be a replacement for the old MacBook Air with the M1 chip, which Apple still sells through Walmart for $599. The new MacBook would likely start at $699 or $799. With the A18 Pro chip, the lower-cost MacBook might have only 8GB of RAM, whereas all current MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models start with at least 16GB of RAM. The chip also lacks Thunderbolt support, so the new MacBook would likely be equipped with regular USB-C ports, with slower data transfer speeds and external display limitations. Foldable iPhone A foldable iPhone (concept) Following years of rumors, Apple is expected to release its long-awaited foldable iPhone in September, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, the device will open up like a book, providing users with a large screen for watching videos, playing games, and multitasking. The foldable iPhone will be equipped with a 7.7-inch inner display, and a 5.3-inch outer display, according to the latest report. The device will apparently have a virtually "crease-free" inner display supplied by Samsung. Kuo expects the foldable iPhone to have two rear cameras, one front camera, and a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID. This will undoubtedly be Apple's most expensive iPhone ever. Augmented Reality Glasses Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses Apple reportedly plans to unveil augmented reality smart glasses as early as this year, although they might not begin arriving to customers until 2027. Apple's glasses would compete with the Meta Ray-Bans, which now offer an in-lens display. Apple's first smart glasses will reportedly have speakers for music playback, cameras for photos and video, voice control, and potentially health features, but an in-lens display is not expected until at least the second generation.Tags: Apple Doorbell, Apple Glasses, Apple Smart Home Display, Foldable iPhone, MacBook (A18 Pro) This article, "Apple Expected to Unveil Five All-New Products This Year" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Can you use premium audio formats on Sling TV?
Can you use premium audio formats on Sling TV?
We’ll tell you about Sling’s available audio formats below. Sling TV is a fantastically unique streaming product, one that offers popular cable channels at a price far lower than other companies like DIRECTV , Fubo , or YouTube TV . Sling’s packages top out at around 40 channels at maximum, but you’ll only pay $46 per month for the service’s Orange or Blue plans, and Sling is currently the only streamer out there with daily subscription options, which start at $5. Fans of premium audio formats may be hoping Sling has a large selection of channels available in 5.1 surround sound, but does the streamer fulfill those hopes? We take a look at Sling’s premium audio availability here. What you need to know about premium audio on Sling TV Does Sling TV have premium audio available? Does Sling Freestream have premium audio formats? Get 50% OFF $4.99+ / month sling.com Limited time: Get 50% OFF your first month of Sling TV Does Sling TV have premium audio available? Like most other live TV streaming services, Sling does not offer premium audio on a wide selection of live content. Most channels don’t offer 5.1 surround sound on a lot of their programming; the cost is simply too high, and the inconsistent delivery of surround sound — dependent on customer equipment, distributor technology, and other factors — means that programmers usually just broadcast in stereo sound. Viewers may find some on-demand content on the paid Sling service in 5.1 surround sound, but apart from the occasional live event, the streamer does not offer a wide range of programming in premium audio formats. This holds true no matter which Sling plan a customer is subscribed to. Does Sling Freestream have premium audio formats? Sling Freestream does have a wide range of on-demand programming available, as well as hundreds of free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels. However, the service does not offer 5.1 surround sound or other premium formats with its on-demand content. Like most free streamers, Sling Freestream is a bit lighter on top features like 4K picture or surround sound. Get 50% OFF sling.com Sling TV Sling TV is The Streamable’s choice for cord cutters on a budget. Sling is a live TV streaming service with multiple channel packages. The $45.99/month Sling Orange plan offers about 30 channels, including Disney Channel and ESPN . The $45.99/month Sling Blue plan offers about 40 channels, including ABC , Fox , and NBC in major markets. You can combine Orange+Blue for a total of $60.99 / month. Sling also offers many channel add-on packages starting at $6/month. Get 50% OFF $4.99+ / month sling.com Limited time: Get 50% OFF your first month of Sling TV

Google TVs to incorporate more Gemini AI features
Google TVs to incorporate more Gemini AI features
Viewers will be able to deep dive into their favorite topics, adjust settings with ease, and more with the new addition of Gemini features. The further integration of artificial intelligence into technology related to streaming is continuing. That was the essence of an announcement by Google on Monday at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas; starting this year, the Google TV operating system will begin incorporating even more features from Google’s AI Gemini. Key Details: Getting smarter: Google TV is adding a host of new AI features from Gemini. Adjust your settings: Viewers will be able to adjust complex settings with voice prompts, and more, thanks to the update. Phased rollout: TCL devices using the Google TV OS will get the new features first. Google TV’s new Gemini features will allow viewers to dive into their favorite topics in a new interface framework. Gemini will adapt responses to queries with images, videos, and real-time sports updates, and “Deep dives” into certain TV topics will even be narrated and accompanied by interactive overviews. Viewers will also be able to use Gemini to search through their Google Photos library on their TV screen, using specific requests to search for people or moments in photographic time. Users can even use the Nano Banana engine to edit and change their personal photos. When watching TV or a movie, viewers will be able to use these Gemini features to brighten or dim the screen, or to switch to an enhanced dialogue listening mode without having to use any settings menus or click around with the remote; one simple voice prompt will get the job done. These new AI integrations will be made available on all Google TV devices. They’re set to roll out on sets made by TCL first, so if you own a TCL TV with the Google TV operating system, you’re in luck! Otherwise, the enhancements will make their way to your Google TV device in the coming months.
