Ausente no lançamento na Europa por incompatibilidade regulatória, a nova Siri AI continua a confundir os utilizadores que fizeram o upgrade para o iOS 27, fora do território europeu.
Era questione di giorni, lo avevamo scritto, ma in pochi avrebbero scommesso sul fatto che di tempo tra le indiscrezioni e l’ufficialità ne sarebbe passato così poco. Oggi, mercoledì 16 settembre 2026, Enel Mobile debutta ufficialmente sul mercato italiano, portando sotto lo stesso marchio telefonia mobile, luce e gas.
L’offerta comprende 150 GB in 5G, minuti illimitati e 200 SMS al mese e può avere uncanone di 0 euro per i clienti che rispettano determinati requisiti legati alle forniture energetiche. Per avere la linea mobile + bundle gratis occorrono due forniture attive tra luce e gas, intestate alla stessa persona, e almeno una deve appartenere alle offerte abilitate: Enel Luce e Giga, Enel Gas e Giga oppure Enel Per Te Luce e Giga. Per i residenti in Sardegna la formula è differente e coinvolge invece un’offerta luce abbinata a Enel Fibra o Enel Fibra e Voce. Nel bundle ci sono anche 17 GB di traffico dati/mese da spendere all'estero (anche in Regno Unito) in virtù del roaming zero.

Mint Mobile offers a straightforward buy-in-bulk plan system that lets you purchase wireless in 3, 6, and 12-month increments of time. There are four data plans to choose from: 5GB, 15GB, 20GB, and Unlimited, all of which give you coverage on T-Mobile's vast 5G network, along with a free mobile hotspot, unlimited talk and text, and coverage in Mexico, Canada, and the UK.
How much does Mint Mobile cost?
Mint Mobile's wireless plans start at $15 per month, but since you have to pay for a minimum of three months of coverage, you're looking at an upfront payment of at least $45. That can make things a bit confusing when you're first introduced to Mint's pricing model, but as long as you're comfortable buying phone service in bulk, the potential wireless savings could be immense. Just imagine dropping a single payment of $180 and not worrying about your phone bill again until 2027. Sounds pretty good, right?
Who owns Mint Mobile?
Although Mint Mobile used to be partly owned by actor Ryan Reynolds, the prepaid carrier is now fully owned and operated by T-Mobile. This allows Mint to give you the Big Three carrier experience without charging the Big Three carrier price, and since Mint Mobile is no longer an independent company, network de-prioritization from T-Mo is much less common.
O iOS 27 estreia 27 melhorias que aceleram o iPhone e inauguram a nova Siri baseada em IA. A atualização chega aos modelos desde o iPhone 11 e marca a mudança mais profunda da Apple na forma como o sistema aprende com o utilizador.
But it is not just the rules concerning foldables the company has now defined; it has also set the standard competitors must follow in chip design with its A20 Pro, a super-powered processor that delivers noticeable performance improvements even compared to last year’s iPhone 17.
Memory bandwidth is 50% higher than last year’s chip.
GPU graphics performance increases up to 40% over the A19 Pro.
AI performance is expected to double.
These are all significant improvements that make for noticeable experience boosts for anyone using one of these phones. Prosaically, I anticipate first reviews will celebrate how fast and responsive these devices are, and this will be most evidenced in tasks such as video capture and photography. Pictures will capture more swiftly, open faster, and edit features will become (and already are) more advanced and sophisticated than before. Apple spent ample time celebrating the iPhone 18 Pro series for the new frontiers in digital photography they open up, and not just because of the new reflexive lens.
The point is that the devices have the horsepower to get through computationally intensive tasks, including AI, thanks to the Neural Engines and GPU.
Thermal management is the icing on the quake
What those tasks have in common is heat, which Apple’s product designers have addressed in two critical ways: liquid cooling and processor design.
The processor design is the important thing, because in this case Apple has moved away from the InFO POP packaging of the A19 Pro in which the DRAM is stacked above the chip. It’s now embraced a side-by-side design it described as “inspired by” M-series Apple Silicon.
That works because placing both components alongside each other, rather than in a perpetual embrace, reduces the overall temperature of both by putting a little space between them. As Apple explained it, this Wafer-level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) approach means the memory gets out of the way of the processor, allowing the latter to make direct contact with the vapor chamber cooling system.
In layman’s terms, it means both memory and chip can perform more intensively while being more efficiently cooled, a move that helps Apple’s iPhone meet those astonishing performance achievements. The vapor chamber is also bigger, made of new material with three times the surface area of before, making it even better at cooling the device.
It also means Apple has achieved a lot of things competitors have not, most particularly in packaging, the use of 2nm chips in a mass market product, and overall design.
That’s where it gets interesting. Both Qualcomm and MediaTek now plan to follow in Apple’s footsteps with the adoption of 2nm chips and side-by-side packaging.
Digitimes suggests it is a move others will follow, as vendors work furiously to ensure their hardware can run AI effectively on device, which iPhones already do. Apple, of course, already knows its Macs, iPhones, and iPads have been designed from the ground-up to support on-device AI as it works to provide the world’s best mass market platforms for secure and private use of the tech.
Friends don’t let friends bet against Apple
All the same, even at the microprocessor level, it’s hard to ignore that where Apple goes, others follow — even while where others go, Apple frequently follows later, but seems to do it better. It has never been a company to bet against, after all. People really should stop doing that.
