In an unexpected turn of events, Apple is giving out a rare carrier subsidy when you purchase their new 5G iPad Pro. Considering these kinds of promotions are common on smartphones, it’s kind of a surprise that it is offered on these tablets too.
AT&T shared some good news to first responders this week.

Recently, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held an auction for its C-Band radio spectrum. And of course, the major carriers did their best to outbid each other.
