T-Mobile is outpacing the rest of the Big Four US carriers on value, loyalty, and satisfaction — here's what consumers say is most important when selecting a mobile provider (TMUS, S, VZ, T)

This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence , Business Insider's premium research service. This report is exclusively available to enterprise subscribers. To learn more about getting access to this report, email Senior Account Executive Jeff Jordan at jjordan@businessinsider.com , or  check to see if your company already has access . Although competition in the US wireless carrier market remains fierce, the price war among the Big Four US carriers — Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint — began to cool over the past year. In an attempt to avoid further competition on price, carriers began shifting their focus to adding value to their mobile plans with new offerings to differentiate from the competition. This helped average revenue per user (ARPU) start to stabilize across all carriers in Q1 2018, after declining over the last two years. The Big Four have now begun reshuffling their unlimited plans to lure subscribers by providing more options. T

Did your aluminum Apple Watch mysteriously crack itself? Apple might replace the screen for free

So your aluminum Series 2 or Series 3 Apple Watch is suddenly cracking around the edges… but you don’t remember bumping it on anything, or being particularly rough with it. Surprise! It might not be your fault at all. Apple says that they’ve determined that “under very rare circumstances”, the displays on aluminum Series 2 and 3 are developing cracks that can wrap around the rounded edges. The good news? If Apple determines your display crack is caused by this newly discovered issue, they’ll replace the screen for free. The bad news? It’s not the kind of thing they can fix at the Genius Bar, so getting it patched up means shipping the Watch to Apple and being without it for 5+ days. (It sounds like the kind of cracks they’re looking for are pretty specific — they’re looking for cracks that developed around the rounded edges, as pictured above. So if you really just dropped something on the watch and the display got obliterated, you probably aren’t gonna be able to pull a fast one

A California official says red-hot coding bootcamp Lambda School is violating state law if it operates without the right registration — but the company insists classes can go on

On Thursday, Business Insider reported that Lambda School, a hot coding bootcamp with backing from big names like Y Combinator and GV (formerly Google Ventures), had been ordered to cease operations until it properly registered with California state authorities. At the time, Lambda School CEO Austen Allred told Business Insider that it was a misunderstanding on the company's part, and that the order had been stayed while it worked with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) to amend the situation. However, on Friday, a spokesperson for the California Department of Consumer Affairs told Business Insider that there was no stay on the order, and that if Lambda School is still operating while its registration is pending, it would be in violation of state law.  Lambda School disputes this, and says that it has a pending appeal that means it can continue to operate. The BPPE says it has no such appeal to the affirmed citation on file. Lambda School has attracted a l

AI IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS: Why carriers could lose out if they don't adopt AI fast — and where they can make the biggest gains

This is a preview of the AI in Telecommunications  research report from Business Insider Intelligence. Purchase this report. 14-Day Risk Free Trial: Get full access to this and all Connectivity & Tech research reports. In the face of rising demand for data, increasingly saturated mobile markets, and stiff opposition from legacy players, tech entrants, and startups, global telecoms are locked in a battle for market share. These market pressures have led to vicious price wars for mobile services and, as a result, declining average revenue per user (ARPU). Making matters worse, improvements in infrastructure and technology have made telecoms largely comparable in terms of coverage, connection speeds, and service pricing, meaning companies must transform their businesses if they hope to compete. For many global telecoms, shoring up market share under today's pressures while also future-proofing operations means having to invest in AI. The telecom industry is expected to inv

Peloton insiders will have 20 votes per share — twice as many as those at other startups — but CEO John Foley may not wield all the power after the IPO

Like many startups that have gone public recently, Peloton will have a stock structure that gives extra votes to certain insiders. Many companies with such arrangements give insiders 10 votes per share, but Peloton CEO John Foley and some early investors in the fitness firm will get 20 votes per share. At least as things stand now, Foley wouldn't have majority control by himself, because he's not the biggest holder of super-voting shares. Governance experts and institutional investors tend to frown on super-voting shares, because they shield corporate managers from accountability. Click here for more BI Prime stories . As has the case at many startups that have gone public lately, insiders at Peloton will have shares that give them extra votes after its initial public offering . But Peloton's insiders will get more votes than most — 20 for each of their shares. And, at least as things stand now, its CEO, John Foley, wouldn't be the number-one vote holder onc
