AT&T Launches $3 Unlimited Day Pass for iPad Cellular Data
AT&T has introduced a $3 'Unlimited Day Pass' offering 24 hours of cellular data to eligible iPad users in the US, with no contract, subscription, or credit check required. The pass is available to anyone, including non-AT&T customers, and works on eSIM-capable iPads dating back to 2019 across iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro lines. The offer provides a flexible, low-commitment connectivity option for travelers, tourists, and occasional users who need short-term internet access without a monthly plan.
AT&T has launched a new 'Unlimited Day Pass' for iPad users, priced at $3 for 24 hours of wireless data with no contract, subscription, or credit check. The service is open to all users regardless of their existing carrier, and the first pass is available free as an introductory offer, limited to one per customer. Activation is handled entirely through the iPad's Settings app under Cellular Data, requiring no app download or existing Wi-Fi connection. Approximately 30 eSIM-equipped iPad models are eligible, spanning generations from 2019 through 2024 models including iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and standard iPad lines. AT&T notes it may temporarily reduce data speeds during network congestion, though no hard data caps are specified. The company positions itself as the first major U.S. wireless carrier to offer this type of on-demand, no-commitment day pass for iPads. AT&T has indicated plans to expand the service to Android tablets, smartwatches, laptops, and drones, as well as multi-day options such as weekend and week-long passes.
What's missing
It is unclear what data speeds users can expect under normal (non-congested) conditions, as AT&T has not specified whether the pass operates on 4G LTE, 5G, or both, nor what throttling thresholds might trigger speed reductions.

Anthropic Disables Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI Models Globally After US Government Export Control Order
Anthropic has suspended all public access to its two most advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, after the US Commerce Department issued an export control directive ordering the company to block foreign nationals from accessing them on national security grounds. The order came just three days after Fable 5's public launch and reportedly stems from government concerns about a potential jailbreak that could enable the models to assist with cyberattacks, though Anthropic says it received only verbal evidence of a narrow, non-universal vulnerability. The shutdown affects all customers globally — including enterprise users and Anthropic employees — and marks a significant escalation of US efforts to restrict foreign access to advanced AI models themselves, rather than just the chips that power them.
