OPINION: After a brief hiatus, Asus’ ProArt range has come back swinging with a 2024 refresh that looks poised to take down competing devices from both Apple and Microsoft, and I think it has a solid case. Last week I had the chance to play around with the new Asus ProArt range which is comprised […]

Voxi has just dropped a phenomenal deal on the Pixel 8a which, if I’d seen it sooner, I probably would have nabbed instead of an iPhone 15. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore my iPhone 15. It has great software, solid cameras and an excellent battery life, but because I got swayed by the […]

OPINION: We live in the age of wireless devices. There are probably only a few electronic devices in your home that you couldn’t connect to via a wireless connection. And we all think that’s great, right? Wireless is more convenient, wireless presents less clutter. Wireless devices simply fit more into our lives than they did […]

It’s Sunday, which means it’s time for us to name our final winner and loser of June 2024. This week its Amazon vs Apple.

Motorola has well and truly brought the foldable fight to Samsung with the Razr 50 range

Apple announced at WWDC24 the new features that will be included into the upcoming iOS 18 upgrade.  While we are undoubtedly excited for iOS 18 to roll out this autumn, it’s worth noting that a lot of the new features are already available on most Android smartphones and have been for quite some time.  Read […]

OPINION: The big news this week came from the music streaming service Tidal as it started a clean of its service by brooming a few features. MQA will be officially removed from the service, which I think we all saw coming after a) MQA went into administration and b) it started using FLAC as a […]

It’s been a busy week in tech with Nvidia being named the world’s most valuable company, Nintendo announced more exciting titles coming to the Switch during its Nintendo Direct stream, and Apple ditching its Pay Later loan scheme less than a year after it was announced.  In mobile news, Motorola unveiled a new flagship phone […]

Maybe don’t buy that foldable you’ve been eyeing up – for now, anyway.

Perhaps finally sensing that people who use Spotify want music and not podcasts and audiobooks, the streaming service is throwing those folks a bone. Well, sort of. On Friday, Spotify introduced a ‘Basic’ plan for subscribers in the United States, which enables them to avoid an incoming price increase, by dropping their access to audiobooks. […]

OPINION: Not just five years ago, 8K was touted as the way in which people would be viewing sports …

With Apple delivering announcement after announcement at WWDC, it seemed natural that the company would take our winner spot.

OPINION: Apple's decision to limit Apple Intelligence to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will no doubt disappoint many consumers.

It might be £550 cheaper, but the Honor 200 Pro and its Harcourt Portrait mode can out-shoot the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

OPINION: iPhone Mirroring in macOS Sequoia is nuts and bolts small ‘i’ Apple intelligence that will save users time and taps so they can use them more productively and creatively. WWDC 2024 was dominated by Apple Intelligence, which will give users access to all manner of generative artificially intelligent tools that could change the way […]

OPINION: Last night’s WWDC event brought about tons of new announcements for Apple fawns to over, from Apple’s own take on AI to iPhone mirroring on your Mac, but amongst the watchOS 11 presentation, there was a bit of news hidden in plain sight that has huge ramifications for Apple Watch lifecycles going forward. In […]

Using headphones to watch TV is often a secondary choice based on circumstances. Take a tablet on a train, for example, or hook up a pair at home because it’s late at night and you won’t want to disturb those sleeping in your house. While a good pair of headphones lets you hear what’s going […]

OPINION: Judging by the VisionOS 2 announcement, Apple isn't quite sure what to do with its super high-end mixed reality headset.

The first week of June is behind us, meaning it’s time to choose our winner and our loser from this past week.

OPINION: Another year, another price hike. For all the scuttlebutt a rumours of the Supremium tier finally launching, US subscribers getting another jump in price for a service that general consensus would say hasn’t improved much or is getting better. I’ve written about how Tidal’s reduction in its subscription prices would increase the pressure on […]

OPINION: Five of my favourite features rumoured to be coming to the iPhone with iOS 18 ahead of its official reveal early next week. 

OPINION: Apple making OpenAI-powered iOS 18 features 'opt-in' would acknowledge the giant risk it i…

OPINION: No quarter asked and no quarter given. Loewe is not messing about with its 2024 product launches, telling everyone that it’s not only back, but it’s here to stay. So far Loewe has announced plans to manufacture its own OLED TVs: jumped into premium hi-fi with floorstanding and standmount speakers, signed Kylian Mbappé as […]

Opinion: Adobe recently unveiled the newest and most advanced version of its Firefly generative AI model, Firefly Image 3. But, could this update trigger an increase in art thefts and imitation?  Currently in its beta phase, the Firefly Image 3 model promises some significant upgrades for both Firefly and Photoshop.  Firefly is now better at […]

OPINION: To me my xMEMS! You may not have heard about xMEMS and might even confuse the name with the fictional mutants from Marvel Comics, but I’ll wager that you’ll be hearing more about this company in the coming months as it has the potential to disrupt the headphone and speaker market for the first […]

May is officially behind us, meaning it’s time to recap the last week of the month. This week, Google rolled out RCS message editing, while Sony gave us a disappointing State of Play.

OPINION: Last week I had the chance to see a sneak preview of Google’s AI plans for its Chromebook Plus range. In the time I was able to test out those same AI features on a Chromebook supplied by Google, but instead of moving back to my trusty Windows laptop after the news became public, […]

OPINION: 2024 could be a particularly transformative year for some of the most popular foldables around, if leaks and rumours are to be believed.

OPINION: It hasn’t even been a year since Google launched its Chromebook Plus branding and yet it feels as if more time has passed given just how much the concept has dropped out of general conversation. Luckily for Google, this is about to change. For the uninitiated, the Chromebook Plus line was launched in October […]

OPINION: From Microsoft unveiling its new AI ventures to the latest generation of handsets from Poco, there’s been no shortage of tech reveals this week but the two that have absolutely floored me are, funnily enough, from the same company. Unless you decided to ignore the news this week (and no judgement there), you’re likely […]
