The fact that there are so many Android smartphones out there now that support wireless charging is terrific. Of course, it would be even better if the companies that make these phones actually included a wireless charger in the box with the phone. Instead, they try to hit you for another $40, $50 or even more for a wireless charger that has to be purchased separately.

For a limited time on Amazon though, you can grab the highly-rated RAVPower Wireless Charging Pad for under $20 shipped.

After years of predictability from Samsung’s Galaxy line, we were pleasantly surprised by the significant changes that Samsung brought to the table with the S6 and S6 edge earlier this year.

Things are not going well right now for HTC, which makes what are indisputably some of the best smartphones in the world. The company’s problem — apart from the fact that it thought releasing a flagship phone that’s barely an update from last year’s model was a good idea mid-tailspin — is that it simply doesn’t have the size or marketing budget to battle Samsung in the Android market.

However, it looks like things are about to take an interesting turn: Just as Samsung ripped off Apple’s iPhone to aid in its climb to the top (remember that damning 132-page internal report on how to copy the iPhone pixel by pixel?), it appears as though HTC is preparing to follow suit as it struggles to regain its footing in the smartphone market it once briefly led.

Every carrier wants you to believe they have the best iPhone 6s offer in the history of the world… that’s if you can figure out exactly what they’re offering you. Sometimes you’ll think you’re buying a new iPhone from your carrier only to discover that you’re actually just leasing it. Other times you’ll bank on getting a giant trade-in credit for your old device only to find out it’s either not qualified or isn’t worth as much as you thought. But fear not! We’ve gone through all the four major carriers’ iPhone 6s offers and will break down exactly what they’re looking to sell you.

Note: For the purposes of this exercise we will be comparing carrier offers for the 16GB iPhone 6s. If you’re interested in buying a larger iPhone 6s with more storage, it will obviously cost more than the prices we’ve listed below.

Growing up in the ’90s, I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for All That, Nickelodeon’s live-action sketch show. Looking back, there aren’t many sketches I can remember off the top of my head, but there is one sketch so famous, so ubiquitous, that almost anyone can recite the first lines:

“Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order?”

With the first wave of iPhone reviews now out in the wild, 3D Touch appears to be the one feature that reviewers seemed to universally love. Much more capable than your typical right-click, the iPhone 6s display can not only detect a hard press, but varying levels of pressure as well. As a result, 3D Touch opens up an entire new world of user interaction, with one reviewer noting that 3D Touch represents the biggest leap forward in smartphone UI design since multitouch.
