%name Nikkei says iPhone sales slump may be even worse than people thought by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

While iPhone sales have steadily increased each year since 2007, it’s widely believed that 2016 will mark the first time that year-over-year sales of Apple’s iconic smartphone will experience a decline.

AT&T finally has an answer for the Un-carrier, but AT&T subscribers can’t have it

%name AT&T finally has an answer for the Un carrier, but AT&T subscribers can’t have it by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

You can already get an unlimited data plan from AT&T right now, but only if you’re a DirecTV subscriber. Barring that, your next best option is to switch to Cricket Wireless, an AT&T prepaid subsidiary that’s now offering unlimited talk, text and data for just $70 a month. For the record, this is better than T-Mobile’s best offer of $95 per month for unlimited talk, text and data.
