If you pay for the $19.99 per month Google AI Pro plan or the whopping $250 monthly fee for a Google AI Ultra subscription, your account just received a big upgrade.
As noticed by 9to5Google, Google has announced that it is upgrading paying subscriber accounts to give them more daily Gemini prompts to work with.
For those paying $20 per month for the Google AI Pro plan, they can now use 300 prompts per day with the Gemini Thinking model. Gemini's Pro model, which is for more advanced math problems and code, now allows up to 100 daily prompts.
If you're a hardcore Gemini user paying $250 per month, your new daily limits are 1,500 daily prompts for the Thinking model and 500 daily prompts for the Pro model.
Previously, when Gemini 3 launched last month, Google AI Pro users had a total of 100 monthly prompts per day to use across both of Gemini's Thinking and Pro models and AI ultra subscribers had a 500 daily prompt limit. The new credit limits separate the two models and give them distinct prompt limits. No more shared prompt pool limits.
Free Gemini users will also now have distinct daily limits, however, Google does not share what those are, simply noting that prompt limits for Gemini's free tier can change daily.
Google says that it received significant feedback from users who did not want a "shared pool" for model limits.
"We’ve heard your feedback!" Google said in its announcement. "Many of you want more precision and transparency when deciding which model to use for your daily tasks. To give you more flexibility and control, we are separating the model limits for 'Thinking' and 'Pro' models."
The move away from the shared pool of limits makes sense, especially if the two models require different levels of computing power. As AI companies continue to try to outdo each other, making paying customers happy with alterations to how subscription plans work seems like a rather easy thing to do in order to beat out the competition.
Apple — the world's number one smartphone maker — will retain a great deal of oversight on its Apple Intelligence-powered Siri upgrade, despite its headline-making deal with Google, according to a report by the Information.
Speaking to the publication under anonymity, project insiders say that under the competitive deal, Apple has reserved the right to tweak the model independently from Google and will not be incorporating any Google or Gemini branding. For now. Google's LLM will act more as a base for Apple's specific needs, the insider reports suggest, rather than a complete package.
SEE ALSO: Apple's iPhone 17e will get Dynamic Island, report claimsIn addition to its general processing upgrade, the Gemini-powered Siri will be better at providing general knowledge and emotional support in a more conversational tone, similar to how other AI assistants operate, the Information reported. With Gemini's help boosting Siri's on-device technology, the assistant will also be able to contextualize requests that aren't so clear, such as searching through your messages to figure out what names you call your contacts, and generate content, like writing Notes with information pulled from the internet.
Earlier this week, the tech giant announced it would be relying on Google's Gemini AI models to power its mega upgraded Siri, following months of speculation as the company ebbed between other developers, including partners like OpenAI. Gemini, however, was rumored to be the top contender as the company headed into 2026. Despite this new partnership, Apple will continue its deal to route complex questions through ChatGPT, an Apple spokesperson told the Information, but the publication reports that OpenAI has seen minimal traffic directed to ChatGPT from Siri tests.
Under the partnership, Siri's new brain won't be hosted on Google servers, but will run directly on Apple devices or the company's Cloud server — this also means no data sharing. Insiders speaking to the publication say Google invested heavily in building a model version that could run on Apple servers to honor the company's commitments to on-device privacy.
SAVE $1,502: As of Jan. 15, the Samsung 77-inch S85F OLED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for $1,497.99. That's over $1,500 off its list price and matches its all-time low Black Friday price.
Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung 77-inch S85F OLED 4K TV $1,497.99 at AmazonWe just featured the Samsung's 77-inch entry-level OLED TV on Monday when it dropped to $1,597.99 — about $100 away from its record-low price from Black Friday. Well, turns out we jumped the gun, as a few days later, it plummeted down to that all-time low.
As of Jan. 15, you can upgrade your TV to the Samsung 77-inch S85F OLED 4K TV for only $1,497.99. That's over $1,500 in savings, which makes it a discount of over 50%. Best Buy also has the same TV for just $2 more as its deal of the day, if you prefer to purchase it there.
"It's not quite as impressive as its higher-end siblings, the S90F and S95F, but it's pretty snazzy and an excellent value," as I noted on Monday. Technically, the S85F is Samsung's entry-level OLED, but it still offers great specs. Its picture quality is brilliant, with vivid colors and deep contrast. Its gaming features are decent as well, with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1, and FreeSync Premium. Plus, it features the latest version of Samsung's smart TV platform, Tizen 9.0, which offers smooth and speedy navigation.
The star of the show with Samsung's 2025 OLED TVs is, of course, AI. The S85F includes AI tools like Click to Search, Live Translate, Adaptive Sound Pro, and Real Depth Enhancer to enhance your viewing experience. Not to mention, it will deliver tons of content recommendations.
If your TV requirements are a big screen and a brilliant picture, the 77-inch S85F OLED 4K TV certainly won't disappoint. And now that's it's half the price, it won't put quite as much of a dent in your wallet.
SAVE $55.99: As of Jan. 15, the Ninja Foodi Everyday PossibleCooker (6.5 quart) is on sale for only $74 at Walmart. That's a savings of 43%.
Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Foodi PossibleCooker (6.5 quart) Get DealWe're mega fans of Ninja appliances at Mashable. Not only do they deliver excellent performance with beginner-friendly designs, but they're also reasonably priced. And one of our favorites just got even more affordable.
As of Jan. 15, the 6.5-quart Ninja Foodi Everyday PossibleCooker is on sale for only $74 at Walmart. That's 43% or $55.99 cheaper than usual. For what it's worth, it's still full price over at Amazon (not to mention from a third-party seller) and Ninja's own website.
The Everday PossibleCooker — the smaller version of our favorite Ninja multicooker (the PossibleCooker Pro) — replaces up to 10 different appliances in your kitchen. Mashable shopping reporter Sam Mangino writes, "This device doesn't look like a lot, essentially a hot plate and non-stick pot, but it's incredible how much it can do."
Besides cooking up to four cups of rice in a flash, it's also capable of slow-cooking food to perfection, searing and sautéing, boiling up to a pound of pasta, or roasting a seven-pound chicken. The pot itself can be transferred directly to the oven (up to 500 degrees), essentially acting as a dutch oven, and be used as a serving dish. The 6.5-quart option is ideally sized for family meals and won't take up a ton of counter space. Plus, its cool-touch handles make it a breeze to bring to potlucks.
It's usually a solid deal at $129.99, but for only $74, it's a total steal.

On the morning after a day of massive, countrywide outages for Verizon customers, the telecom giant has offered an apology and a little bit of credit to address the loss of service.
In an announcement posted on social media, Verizon announced that customers affected by the downed services can cash in on a $20 credit voucher. According to the company, that amount should cover multiple days of service, "on average." It followed other statements by Verizon that as soon as the issue was resolved, the company would "make it right" with affected users.
"This credit isn’t meant to make up for what happened. No credit really can. But it’s a way of acknowledging your time and showing that this matters to us," the company wrote.
SEE ALSO: Verizon outage map: How to check your areaVerizon has not yet issued a full explanation for the incident, but the service drop was severe enough to grab the attention of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which said it was monitoring the situation. Its not the first service outage for the company over the past year.
Read the full statement below:
Yesterday, we did not meet the standard of excellence you expect and that we expect of ourselves. To help provide some relief, we are giving you a $20 account credit that can be easily redeemed by logging into the myVerizon app to accept. On average, this covers multiple days of service. Our business customers will be contacted directly about their credits.
This credit isn’t meant to make up for what happened. No credit really can. But it’s a way of acknowledging your time and showing that this matters to us.
If you’re still having trouble connecting, please restart your device (power down and power back on). This is the fastest way to reconnect your phone to the network.
We are sorry for what you experienced and will continue to work hard day and night to provide the outstanding network and service that you expect from Verizon.
Customers logging into their account on the myVerizon app should see an option to claim the offer, although some customers have reported the offer has yet to appear. Mashable reporters have also experienced problems logging onto the myVerizon app.

As of Jan. 15, the EcoFlow Delta 3 1000 Air is on sale for just $308.99 at Amazon. That's $190 off its list price of $499 and the lowest price since its late fall release.
The Delta 3 1000 Air power station is only about the size of a rice cooker, yet powerful enough to keep 99% of home-essential appliances up and running with its 960Wh battery capacity and 500W power output (1000W surge). So not only does it make a ceonvenient home backup power solution, but it's also portable enough (just 22 pounds) to power up a campsite or RV.
It sports AC, USB-C, and USB-A ports to cover your connectivity needs, with an indicator light on front to display your grid voltage stabilization. When it's time to charge up the power station itself, you can choose from four different options. A standard AC outlet will charge it up in just two hours, but if you don't have access to an AC outlet, you can utilize solar panels, gas generators, or your car's auxiliary port.
Between the huge surge in camping and off-grid living to the ongoing threat of extreme weather, portable power stations are having a moment. This is a smart opportunity to invest in one for your home and adventures without breaking the bank.

A gimbal stabilizer is the perfect way to get a jumpstart on recording life's best moments to share with the rest of the world. It's much less expensive than investing in a creator-approved camera since it lets you use the iPhone or Android device you already own.

Of course, since DJI is a content-creator brand, they loaded up the Osmo Mobile 7 with other fantastic features like ActiveTrack 7.0 which follows your subject and a lightweight design, weighing only 300 grams.
Mashable Assistant Editor Amanda Yeo recently tested out the new DJI Osmo Mobile 8 and noted the weight of about 370 grams to be a downfall. At times, going with an older model is a more practical option, and in this case, it comes with a lower weight in addition to a lower price.
DJI mentions users will be able to get about 10 hours of use from the Osmo Mobile 7 before it'll need a recharge. Did we mention you can use some of the juice from the Osmo Mobile 7 to recharge your phone? That'll come in handy during longer days of recording content. Pair this with the oh-so popular DJI Mic Mini, and you'll have a complete set-up.
Since the DJI Osmo Mobile 7 has never been this cheap before at Amazon, it's a great time to snag the super capable gimbal stabilizer. It's on sale for only $59 and it even includes a travel-friendly carrying case.

Tea, the platform designed for women to discuss the men they date and potential "red flags," is relaunching today — but it won't be on the App Store.
Tea is part of an online ecosystem of whisper networks for women to find information ("tea") on potential suitors, similar to Are We Dating the Same Guy Facebook groups. Last July, Tea made headlines when two hacks exposed thousands of user images (including selfies and photos of ID cards like drivers' licenses) as well as personal chats and phone numbers. Then, in October, Apple removed Tea from the App Store (as well as its rival app for men, TeaOnHer) for not meeting its content moderation and user privacy requirements.
SEE ALSO: Google reverses key parental control policyNow, Tea is back as a website: app.teaforwomen.com.
Asked about how Tea intends on protecting users following the 2025 leaks, Tea's vice president of trust and safety, Jessica Dees, told Mashable, "We have taken meaningful steps to strengthen the platform's safety and security posture, including enhancing internal safeguards, reinforcing access controls, and implementing additional review and monitoring processes designed to protect sensitive information and support responsible participation."
Credit: TeaDees went on to say that the relaunch "reflects a deliberate focus on strengthening and expanding access to Tea's safety and verification tools while reinforcing accountability across the platform." Following the incidents, Tea began working with third-party security teams to understand how they occurred and implemented additional security controls.
Screenshots of the website experience shared with Mashable make the website appear Instagram-like, featuring images of men alongside captions about women's (usually negative) experiences with them, complete with comments from other users. You can even react with green or red flags.
As for Android users, Tea remained on Google Play despite the App Store removal and is still available to download. Tea also announced today that the Android app is getting new community features: an "elevated" forum experience with interactive spaces like a virtual speakeasy and an in-app AI dating coach. According to images shared with Mashable, the AI dating coach chats are "private and secure," and an upcoming feature is the ability to use the AI to analyze the vibes of a dating app conversation (like "playful" and "casual").
Credit: Tea Credit: TeaOnline whisper networks, often led by women, have emerged in the dating app era as users encounter bad actors, ranging from scammers to assaulters. They're unlikely to go away, but whether women will come back to Tea following what happened last year remains to be seen.
Apple's iPhone 17e might be getting a big display upgrade.
The original "e" iPhone — the iPhone 16e, which launched in February 2025 — was an affordable iPhone variant with a powerful chip, but with no MagSafe and a display that featured an old-school cutout instead of Apple's Dynamic Island.
The iPhone 17e, which is rumored to arrive in the next couple of months, will have a significantly upgraded display. According to leaker Digital Chat Station's Weibo post, it will have a 6.1-inch, 60Hz LTPS OLED display with the Dynamic Island. Other improvements include the new A19 chip, and Face ID facial recognition.
SEE ALSO: iOS 26 bug is turning Android photos red in iPhone camera appYes, at 60Hz it won't match the displays on the iPhone 17 series, all of which feature a 120Hz display, but at least it will have a similar design and the added convenience of getting notifications and other info via the Dynamic Island.
The same leaker account also posted some predictions about Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 series of phones. According to the report, the screen sizes on the iPhone 18, iPhone Air 2, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max, will be exactly the same as on their predecessors.
The iPhone 18 will thus reportedly have a 6.27-inch display; iPhone Air will come with a 6.55-inch display, the iPhone 18 Pro will have a 6.27-inch display, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a 6.86-inch display.

The leaker claims that the iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air 2 will have the Dynamic Island display, while the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will have an under-display camera "with new area."
We've heard several rumors about this before, including one that says the Dynamic Island will be completely gone from these devices.
This is one of the wildest stories about the making of a Hollywood film EVER and many of you have probably never heard it before.
In 1984, film librarian Merle Ray Harlin was charged with stealing 419 films. One scrap found in his vast collection was a missing scene from the 1954 film A Star Is Born starring Judy Garland. So many films that could have been lost to history… and so many more that we don’t even know are lost! Unfortunately, that loss still includes 7 minutes of A Star Is Born.
If you try to watch the entire originally screened cut of A Star Is Born now, it’s a pretty odd experience. About 41 minutes into the film, it briefly ceases to be a “motion” picture, instead suddenly consisting of still images like some avant-garde thing your Brooklyn boyfriend would drag you to see. It’s odd.
Only 4 missing minutes from A Star Is Born were recovered from Merle Harlin…there are still 7 minutes of the full cut of the movie that are presumably lost to time forever, resulting in a somewhat incomplete film. So, who stole those last seven minutes? And why does it matter?
Spotify Premium is about to become more expensive.
The company announced the change in a blog post Thursday, saying it's updating the price of Spotify Premium in the U.S., Estonia, and Latvia. And when Spotify updates prices, it's typically upwards.
The change, which is going live in February, will soon be announced to Premium subscribers via email.
In short, you'll have to pay one dollar more for Premium in the U.S. Starting in February, the price for Individual Premium plans will go up from $11.99 per month to $12.99 per month, while Student plans are going up from $5.99 to $6.99.
Things won't be anything better for Duo subscribers, as the price of that plan is going up $2, from $16.99 to $18.99, while Family plan is going up from $19.99 to $21.99.

Spotify prices have gone up steadily over the past couple of years. Most recently, the company lifted prices in June 2024 in the U.S., which was the second such hike in a year.
NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 has safely returned to Earth in an unprecedented ISS medical evacuation, splashing down off the Californian coast on Thursday morning.
Landing in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego at 3:41 a.m. ET / 12:41 a.m. PT, a Dragon capsule saw four astronauts safely returned from the International Space Station after a 167-day mission. NASA's Commander Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan's Kimiya Yui, and Russia's Oleg Platonov landed right on time, according to NASA, and were retrieved by a SpaceX recovery crew waiting nearby.

Mashable space reporter Elisha Sauers took a detailed look at NASA's first medical evacuation from the ISS. According to NASA, the crew member "remains stable," and stated in a press release, "Due to medical privacy, it is not appropriate for NASA to share more details about the crew member."
