Spotify’s been having some trouble this year keeping ads away from Premium subscribers. While those incidents were not intentional, a persistent rumor claims that Spotify is bringing ads to Premium. The company is publicly denying that claim, insisting that “Premium music listening is and will remain ad-free.” Life used to be so simple: We could enjoy content for free (like listening to music on the radio) and have to sit through some advertising, or we could choose to pay for our content (like buying an album) and get to enjoy it ad-free. That dichotomy didn’t take long to start crumbling, though, and these days we tolerate ads in paid services ranging from cable TV to the cheapest Netflix plan. Lately, we’ve been paying a lot of attention to Spotify Premium, because this is one paid service that’s resisted ad creep, rightfully earning its “premium” name. At least, that’s the way it’s supposed to work, but on a couple separate instances over the past few months, Spotify Premium users were hearing ads that they weren’t meant to. The company insisted this was all in error, and managed to restore ad-free playback, but apparently it hasn’t been able to fully shake the specter of these incidents.

Credit: Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority The Google Pixel Watch 3 Loss of Pulse Detection feature is now available in the United States. It was previously launched in many European countries and the UK, but thanks to earning FDA clearance, it is finally here in the US. As you’d expect, the feature monitors your pulse and looks for drops, which could indicate cardiac arrest, respiratory or circulatory failure, or other problems. Last year, Google started rolling out an incredible new feature for the Pixel Watch 3: Loss of Pulse Detection. This first-of-its-kind smartwatch feature monitors your pulse and, if it sees a drop, causes the smartwatch to trigger a response. Many European countries and the United Kingdom have been using this for months now. However, it was only in March 2025 that Google received FDA clearance for the feature. Finally, today, Google is rolling out Loss of Pulse Detection to the Pixel Watch 3 in the United States. This makes one of the best smartwatches you can buy even better.

A new report attempts to outline not just Google’s pricing plans for the Pixel 10 phones this year, but also the next few generations to come. Pricing on lower-level models could remain unchanged for the time being. The biggest movement could impact the Pixel Pro Fold, with Google slashing prices over the next few years. This year has the potential to be a momentous one for Google and its smartphone ambitions, as we’re expecting a big shift in the custom silicon powering these handsets as Google moves to TSMC for fabrication of its Tensor G5 chip. We’ve already brought you a ton of early information about what to expect from the Pixel 10 family, most recently detailing Pixel 10 camera hardware, but so far we haven’t had much insight into what Google could be thinking in terms of its pricing strategy. Now a new report attempts to start filling in those blanks — albeit not at all in the way we were expecting. Let’s start by looking at what Google’s pricing across Pixel phones is right now: We’ve got the Pixel 9a starting at $499, the Pixel 9 at $799, Pixel 9 Pro at $999, the 9 Pro XL at $1,099, and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold at a whopping $1,799.

The new fees apply to both current and legacy plans, according to user reports. Extra fees like these have become a common, controversial tactic among major carriers despite past legal challenges. Last month, we learned that T-Mobile would be increasing prices on certain legacy plans by $5 starting April 2, but only for those plans that hadn’t already been affected by the 2024 legacy price hikes. Unfortunately, that’s not the only increase happening this month. As first spotted by user UCF_Knight12 on the T-Mobile subreddit, the carrier has begun sending out text messages notifying customers of an additional price hike: a $0.50 per line increase for voice lines and a $0.20 per line increase for data-only lines. This latest increase will go into effect on April 23 and, based on community responses, appears to impact both current and legacy plans.
