Apple should be very pleased with the folks who spread the lies that the iPhone will cost $3000 or $25,000 if made in the U.S. Clearly that helped a ton for the June quarter. — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) July 31, 2025
Still, 3 billion is a massive number.
Fun fact: in total, over 26.3 billion mobile phones were shipped globally between 1992 and 2020 and that number grew to 28.9 billion by 2022.

Still, 3 billion is a massive number. Samsung , Apple's biggest rival, is believed to have sold a similar amount of Galaxy phones since it entered the scene in 2009 – and maybe even slightly more – but exact numbers are unclear.in total, over 26.3 billion mobile phones were shipped globally between 1992 and 2020 and that number grew to 28.9 billion by 2022.With Android holding around 70% of the global market share as of 2024, both Apple and Samsung are clearly doing just fine. I mean, in both cases, the 'tech giant' label definitely fits. Samsung stands out for holding its ground against a flood of Android competitors – Motorola Huawei (even though it's shifted away from Android), vivo and so much more – while Apple keeps holding on to its own loyal slice of the market.
The iPhone has officially hit 3 billion units sold since its launch back in 2007.

New rumor claims Qualcomm's chip with model number SM8845 may be called Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
Qualcomm is hosting the Snapdragon Summit next month, where it's expected to introduce its new flagship chip, which will power the majority of the Android flagships next year. The chip reportedly has model number SM8850 and will either be called the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. There have also been rumors of another high-end Snapdragon chip, having model number SM8845, and according to popular leakster Digital Chat Station, it may be called Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Note that this is not the Snapdragon 8s Gen 5, which would succeed the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will sit above the Snapdragon 8s Gen 5 but will be a tier below the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. If this rumor is true, it marks a significant shift in Qualcomm's naming convention because after launching the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 flagship chip, Qualcomm adopted a new naming convention, and what was expected to be called the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 was introduced as the Snapdragon 8 Elite instead. Regardless of what the SM8845 SoC will be called, it's unclear if it will go official at the Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii next month alongside the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC or will be introduced later.

The Motorola Razr (2024) remains a solid choice for flip phone enthusiasts at $200 off
Flip phones are great — they fit easily into pockets and are fun to interact with. And when they're on sale, they're even more exciting. If you've been on the fence, now's the perfect time to jump in: Amazon is offering a generous $200 discount on the Motorola Razr (2024). $200 off (29%) Motorola's 2024-released mid-range flip phone, the Razr (2024) still holds its own. With a gorgeous design, great everyday performance, and two beautiful displays, it's a top pick for many. And now, the device sells for $200 off at Amazon, making it even more attractive. Buy at Amazon Sure, this isn't the first time the discount has popped up, but that doesn't make it any less impressive. After all, who wouldn't want to get a ~$700 phone for less than $500? Better yet, Amazon is spreading the price cut across multiple colors, making it even more attractive. But what's so awesome about this Android phone, besides the hefty price cut? Firstly, it features a beautiful 3.6-inch cover screen and a 6.9-inch main display, offering vibrant colors and a great visual experience. Still, since it's a "mid-range foldable", the device supports a 90Hz refresh rate on its cover screen and up to 120Hz on the main panel, so keep that in mind. Performance-wise, the handset delivers a fantastic everyday experience. Apps launch quickly, and day-to-day performance feels snappy. Still, as you can see from our Motorola Razr (2024) review, its MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor doesn't exactly shine on the benchmark tests. The good news is that you get pretty good-looking photos from this fella. It packs a 50MP main sensor, delivering great dynamics and vibrant colors. That said, there's some oversharpening in some settings that may make your photos look a bit less natural. Battery life is another strong point. Thanks to a 4,200mAh battery, it can keep going for over 18 hours of nonstop browsing—or more than 10 hours of continuous streaming. At the end of the day, the 2024 flip phone might not be your primary choice now that the Razr (2025) is here. However, this buddy is going for about $600 right now. So, if you're after a solid flip experience without overspending, now's your chance to save $200 on the Razr (2024) at Amazon.

It's official! T-Mobile swallows another wireless provider
T-Mobile officially closed Friday on its latest purchase as 4 million UScellular customers now belong to T-Mobile and can experience what Ookla called "the best mobile network" in the U.S. Consumers in UScellular's coverage area who were unable to subscribe for high-speed connectivity eventually will be able to join T-Mobile 's in-home broadband service. But the advantages aren't all going to former UScellular customers. T-Mobile said on Friday that its customers who find themselves in UScellular's former coverage areas will benefit from enhanced network coverage. That's because, as part of the transaction, T-Mobile gets spectrum once owned by the carrier that was the fifth largest in the U.S. UScellular customers will enjoy a seamless transition to the T-Mobile network and should notice performance improvements right away starting from the first day. Nearly all UScellular customer devices will continue to work on the T-Mobile network. T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert shows off a smile. | Image credit-T-Mobile UScellular customers are being permitted to stay on their existing plans for now. But once networks and systems become integrated, these customers will be able to select from one of T-Mobile 's unlimited plans to join. Once on a T-Mobile plan, these customers will have the opportunity to add great features to their unlimited plans and enjoy such outstanding streaming services such as Netflix, AppleTV+, and UScellular customers moving to a T-Mobile unlimited plan will be allowed to roam internationally in over 215 countries and destinations free, view free in-flight Wi-Fi, take advantage of built-in device upgrades, and more. UScellular customers could decide to move up to one of the Experience plans, which include T-Satellite. This benefit automatically connects T-Mobile subscribers' phones with a Starlink satellite in areas where there is no cellular service. Users are currently limited to sending and receiving text messages and sharing their location via their phones' messaging app. Picture and voice messaging via satellite is also being pushed out now by T-Mobile . The carrier says that next, satellite data from optimized apps will be available. Eventually, users will be able to make and take calls via satellite. Former UScellular subscribers can also decide to choose a T-Mobile plan made for first responders, teachers, and Seniors (those 55 and older). The final totals for the deal show that T-Mobile acquired practically all of UScellular's wireless operations for $4.3 billion after final adjustments were made. T-Mobile paid $2.6 billion in cash and will assume responsibilities for approximately $1.7 billion in UScellular debt. T-Mobile will take over responsibility for this debt following an exchange offer made to UScellular debtholders, which is expected to close on August 5, 2025. The UScellular brand will transition in phases to T-Mobile . Before or during its third quarter earnings call, T-Mobile will release a statement about how the transaction will affect the company financially. As we told you late last month, UScellular will get a new name and NYSE ticker symbol. Array Digital Infrastructure Inc. is the new name, and AD is the new stock symbol. The company will now manage two portfolios; one consists of cell towers, and the other consists of spectrum. Now that the UScellular deal has closed, it joins some other recent acquisitions made by T-Mobile . Last year, the carrier picked up MVNO Mint Mobile, which was part-owned by actor Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds also came up with Mint's humor-based ad campaigns which still run to this day. Also announced last year, T-Mobile picked up another MVNO, Ultra Mobile. The Mint Mobile closing took place on May 1st, 2024, while the Ultra Mobile transaction closed on the very same day. Of course, the largest deal closed by T-Mobile was the $26.5 billion acquisition of Sprint, which closed on April 1st, 2020. Before that deal, T-Mobile bought MVNO MetroPCS, with that transaction closing on May 1, 2013.
