Interesting seeing the approaches between Samsung and Apple for their latest phone launches.
Apple: Here's why you need to get the iPhone 14 to save your life.
Samsung: The cameras on the #GalaxyS23 are a lot better. #GalaxyUnpacked
The Galaxy S23 will miss out on 2023's biggest phone trend: Satellite connectivity. cnet.co/3HQWIeN via

Lot of words, but no sneak peaks or teases of any hardware for this mystery Google/Samsung/Qualcomm XR headset.
And with that #GalaxyUnpacked is over.
Samsung, Google and Qualcomm are working together on a new mixed reality push. I got to talk about it with Samsung's TM Roh ahead of Unpacked:

For those wondering, the 360 view on Samsung's website shows that the #GalaxyS23 line will still have a physical SIM card slot. #GalaxyUnpacked

Carrier deals are more muted for the S23 line, though AT&T is still the most aggressive with up to $1,000 off (w/ a trade-in of any Galaxy S/Note/Z phone in any condition and an unlimited plan).
T-Mobile also offers up to $1,000 off with trade-in, but you need Magenta Max.

Oh great, customers such as myself were affected by a T-Mobile data breach. "The primary network provider for Google Fi" told Google "suspicious activity" affected my account. I've seen others on Twitter affected, too.

It’s been sketchy this season for NBA TV 4K:

Looks like NBA TV will be airing some 4K basketball this weekend, at least according to this YouTube TV email trying to get upgrades to its 4K Plus add-on.
Odd that there is no mention in email of NFL (Fox playoff games have been available in 4K).

If it makes you feel better, if you're a long-time #TMobile customer, your personal information was probably already compromised in one of their previous data breaches.🤷♀️ cnet.co/3kmkS7p via

For those keeping track, also reported data breaches in Aug 2018, Nov 2019, March 2020, a second 2020 breach revealed in Jan 2021, Aug 2021 and now this breach (Nov ‘22-Jan ‘23). Five consecutive years at least. Seriously what is going on over there??

The claim period for T-Mobile's $350M data breach settlement is juuuuuuust about to end and now they're apparently investigating another breach impacting 37M accounts? What gives @TMobile? Get it together.

T-Mobile's had a history of data breaches. Its 2021 breach exposed the data of roughly 76.6 million people and led to a several hundred million dollar settlement.
The claiming period for that breach ends next week.

In its press release, T-Mobile is seemingly trying to downplay the exposed data by noting that "basic customer information" is "widely available in marketing databases or directories."
It also notes that no passwords or financial information were at risk from this breach.

Delay is real on both Spectrum and YouTube TV, too. This is very odd.
Quote Tweet
I seriously can't fathom how the delay on @NBAonTNT can be this far behind the actual game. We're talking at least 4-5 possessions at this point. When TNT is on commercial, both teams have scored. I'm on @Xfinity.
This is easily the worst I've ever seen.

NFL officiating continues to be nothing more than a guessing game.
Quote Tweet
Kayvon Thibodeaux was essentially tackled by Christian Darrisaw on that touchdown to Osborn.
Maybe Washington can send a video clip of that to the league office.
This. Been wondering this for years.
Quote Tweet
Someone explain to me why the NFL can’t have chips in the ball for exact spots similar to the technology they have in World Cup? Insane to me given how much is at stake & technology available that it’s still just an eyeball test. “Eh I think he landed here.”
