AT&T suffered a large outage of its mobile network this morning. AT&T acknowledged the issue and said it is working "urgently" to restore service.

Motorola has a new version of its affordable stylus-oriented phone. The new "moto g stylus (2022)" is similar to last year's 4G model, but with a larger battery (now 5,000 mAh) and an upgraded display with 90 Hz refresh.
