MLS fans, the best perk from T-Mobile has returned for the 2025 season. After taking off 2024, T-Mobile and Apple are bringing back the “MLS Season Pass On Us” promotion that gets you the entire MLS season through Apple TV for free.
Apple has been working with Starlink and T-Mobile in secret to get iPhones ready for expanded satellite connectivity, and the feature is now enabled with iOS 18.3 ahead of the full service launch.
Apple's iPhone devices are now eligible to test SpaceX-owned Starlink's direct-to-cell capability that provides coverage from space, according to T-Mobile , a partner in the program.
Apple is said to be in secret talks with SpaceX and T-Mobile to add Starlink support, boosting satellite connectivity for iPhone users.
T-Mobile partnered with SpaceX last year and launched a beta program for Starlink connectivity last December. However, the company originally only offered the option on Samsung phones. Now, this has been expanded to the iPhone as well.
After taking a break from the promotion last year, T-Mobile is once again giving away free MLS Season Pass access to “qualified T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers,” Apple has announced. You can redeem it “for a limited time” using the T-Mobile Life app starting on February 18th.
The latest iOS 18.3 update enables the satellite texting feature offered by T-Mobile through Starlink for select iPhone users.
T-Mobile wants customers on its low-tier plans to pay for using the Starlink-powered satellite texting down the line.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but SpaceX CEO Elon Musk seemingly confirmed the partnership on X, writing: "Medium-resolution images, music, and audio podcasts should work with the current generation Starlink direct-to-phone constellation. The next-generation constellation will support medium-resolution video."
Just in time for the 30th season of Major League Soccer, T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers can enjoy MLS Season Pass on Apple TV on Us. MLS Season Pass features every live regular-season match,
The new iPhone 16 Plus is available to buy from Apple, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and many other carriers. And despite the best deals being during the pre-ordering phase, there are still some really great deals available.
