Telus-owned Public Mobile has bumped its $29/mo plan back up to 20GB of 4G data.

Earlier in April, Public refreshed its plans and downgraded the $29/mo plan to 10GB, but a recent change on the provider’s website shows it’s back up to 20GB.

Public caps 4G data speeds at up to 100Mbps. The plan also includes unlimited Canada-wide minutes and messaging, along with international messaging when sent from Canada.The move comes as several wireless providers increased their own 20GB 4G plans from $34/mo to $39/mo. Koodo, Fido and Virgin Plus have all done this, but I’m not sure why anyone would pay $10/mo more to go with one of them when Public has the $29 plan.

Eastlink is the lastest Canadian wireless provider to launch a device return program that offers customers discounts on their mobile contracts if they agree to give back their device after two years.

Dubbed ‘easyTab Flex,’ the new program lets customers get a cheaper rate on a smartphone purchased from Eastlink. After 24 months, customers can either pay the difference to keep the device or give it back to Eastlink. The provider said in a press release that after being returned, “phones are securely refurbished and repurposed or recycled.”

As an example of how this works, Eastlink’s website says that for the Galaxy S24, customers can expect to pay $384 at the end of their two-year contract if they want to keep the device. The easyTab Flex option costs $30/mo for 24 months, which means you’re paying $720 to effectively rent the S24 for two years, compared to the $46/mo ($1,104 over two years) easyTab option.

The two options both work out to $1,104 paid for the Galaxy S24 over two years. Given the Galaxy S24 costs $1,099.99 outright, this isn’t a terrible option, though you could always buy the phone outright and pick up a cheaper plan to save some money that way.

Eastlink notes that easyTab is available for the iPhone 15 series, iPhone 14 series, Galaxy Z Fold 5, Z Flip 5, S24 family and more.

For years, the internet has clamoured for an Apple-developed iPad calculator app — well, that might finally be happening.

According to MacRumors, Apple plans to introduce a native calculator app alongside iPadOS 18. The tech giant will likely reveal its tablet operating system update in June at WWDC, followed by a public release in September.

It’s been possible to download third-party iPad calculator apps for several years, but most of the good ones have a cost attached to them.

What will the official iPad calculator app look like? While we still don’t know for sure, I bet it’s just a larger version of the already excellent stock iPhone calculator app. In 2022, Apple brought its official weather app to the iPad following years of demand.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Apple make a joke at WWDC regarding the arrival of its calculator app on iPad.

In other Apple-related news, the tech giant recently announced its ‘Let Loose’ iPad event is scheduled for May 7th.

TL;DR: View the cordless vac at Amazon Canada.

It’s easy to understand why people feel a sense of loyalty towards Dyson products. The innovative company has taken an “engineering before everything” approach to redesigning and rethinking the way household appliances should look and function—and in most cases, what they should cost.

We’re all for paying a premium when a stellar product deserves it, and that applies to a lot of Dyson’s lineup. But if you’ve got a small-enough space that you can do your vacuuming with around 30 minutes of battery life—and if you’re not particularly passionate about the tool that’s doing the sucking, the BuTure Cordless Vacuum Cleaner gets the job done with a stick-vac design that’s, shall we say, Dyson-inspired.

And since it’s 32% off right now, it might be time to clean up. Check it out at Amazon Canada.

Right after laying off its entire marketing department, Tesla revealed a new Performance trim with 510-horsepower and 741 Nm of torque. For comparison, the 2019 Model 3 Performance is packed with 470 horsepower.

Tesla says the new car can hit top speeds of 163 mph (262km/h). As noted by The Verge the acceleration of 0-60mph (96.5 km/h) in 2.9 seconds is subtracting the rollout time and is probably under extremely specific conditions. You can read more about it in this Motor Trend review of the Model S Plaid. Regardless, the new Model 3 is extremely fast.

Beyond the speeds, Tesla says that the new trim has lower overall power consumption, a more robust Track Mode, and a slightly more aerodynamic exterior that reduces drag by five percent.

For most, this is likely a modest upgrade over the existing Model 3, but if you want to go faster, this is a car for you.

Bell has announced that Shoresy will premiere on its Crave streaming service on May 24th. Two episodes of the six-episode season will be available on that date, with one new episode available every following Friday.

Alongside the release date, Crave dropped a new teaser trailer for the comedy series’ third season.

A spin-off of Crave’s popular Letterkenny series, Shoresy follows the misadventures of the titular foul-mouthed veteran hockey player (Listowel, Ontario’s Jared Keeso) and his team, the Sudbury Bulldogs.

Crave has also confirmed that some of this season’s guests include multi-platinum Québecois artist Marie-Mai, hockey fighter and UFC veteran Steve Bossé, former NHL enforcer Pierre-Luc Létourneau-leblond and current LNAH captain Danick Paquette.

With Letterkenny having wrapped its impressive 12-season run in December, Shoresy is now the only ongoing project in that franchise.
