The FCC has proposed new rules for wireless telecom carriers to require best practices for authenticating customers who are attempting to move service to a new phone or new carrier. The rules are an attempt to crack down on SIM swap fraud and port-out fraud, where a bad actor impersonates a wireless customer in order to take over their phone number. This then allows the bad actor to receive one-time passcodes intended for the victim, and access other online accounts, including email, social media, and bank accounts. The new rules require authentication by pre-established password or a one-time passcode. The rules also tighten requirements for giving out any sensitive customer information, banning authentication by "readily available biographical information, account information, recent payment information, or call detail information", and requiring photo ID for in-person interactions. The rules also require specific new customer notifications when a SIM swap or number port ha...

Boost Mobile has introduced the Celero5G, a white-label affordable 5G phone with two launch promotions attached. Like T-Mobile's REVVL V+ 5G, the Celero5G is manufactured by Wingtech and powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, (but the two phones differ in size and specs.) The Celero5G has a 6.5-inch display, 4,000 mAh battery, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage, expandable by up to 2 TB. The main camera is 16 megapixel, along with a 5-megapixel wide camera and 8-megapixel front camera. It also has a side fingerprint reader, 15W fast charging, and a headset jack. The "premium design" has a glass back and metallic frame. Until October 31, customers can choose between two launch deals: get a free year of service when paying the full $280 retail price for the phone, or pay just $50 for the phone. The free year of service includes unlimited talk, text, and up to 35 GB of 5G/4G data. Boost's web site shows the phone as shipping October 17th. Boost also offers the Samsung Gal...

Apple has released new versions of its productivity apps for its platforms, including Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for iOS on iPhones. Keynote now lets you place "live video objects" into presentations, allowing "the presenter to appear alongside the content in their slide — ideal for lectures, how-to videos, and remote presentations through video conferencing apps." The feature can use the front-facing camera on an iPhone or other Apple device. The live video objects can be resized or styled with masks, frames, drop shadows, and reflections. Keynote for Mac can also now "show the screen of a connected iPhone or iPad right on a slide for live, interactive demos." Pages for iPhone has a new Screen View mode that re-arranges page layouts into a single column that's easier to read on a small screen, while supporting full editing tools. Numbers now supports pivot tables, including on iPhone and iPad, making it "the first app to bring full-featured pivo...
