HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon is back for its third season, and by and large, it’s off to a good start. The third season made up for the sluggish pace of Season 2, which opted to end on a series of cliffhangers rather than resolve much of anything, by kicking off with a pair of action-heavy episodes that upended the status quo. It’s good watching, and there’s even better stuff to come. But the show has proven itself unwilling to break with patterns that keep it from being as good as it could be. Meanwhile,…

The new Apple TV 4K 2026 – widely expected to launch as the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K – has been a long time coming.

Busy? The biggest changes are tipped to come…

Getting dressed is a series of small decisions, and which watch you put on your wrist is just as likely to be noticed as the colour of your T-shirt. Get it wrong and it’ll stick out like a sore thumb. Get it right and you’ll feel like a million bucks. But, before we get started, it’s important to remember these ‘rules’ aren’t really rules. They’re more what you’d call ‘guidelines’ (Pirates of the Caribbean anyone?) Here’s what I actually think about before I choose my watch for the day. 1. Match the formality, not just the colour A chronograph with…

There are only so many hours in the day, so why would you want to spend any of them bored? Sure, there is a time and a place for some peace and quiet when you can pick up a good book and relax. But some people would much rather watch the movie or TV series that the book is based on than do that. Whichever way you land on the never-ending “is the book or the movie better” debate, you have plenty of ways that you can find the movie. In this day and age of streaming, some movies and…

All the highlights coming to a small screen near you this year Anya Taylor-Joy in Lucky on Apple TV Cord cutting – swapping a costly satellite or cable subscription and getting all your visual entertainment from cheaper, more convenient streaming services – was once sold to us as a utopian dream. And, for a while, it was just that. But the days of a monthly Netflix subscription costing less than a pint of beer are long gone, and the fragmentation of streaming services over the past decade or so means most of us are now subscribing to at least half…

Apple’s smart speaker ambitions have felt strangely quiet over the past few years, but with whispers of a new HomePod Mini 2 and Home Hub incoming, that’s soon set to change. Reports suggest that Apple is preparing its first HomePod Mini refresh in almost six years, alongside an entirely new smart home device widely referred to as the Home Hub. Together, they’re expected to usher in a more capable version of Siri AI powered by Apple Intelligence, while giving Apple a much stronger answer to products such as the Amazon Echo Show and Google Nest Hub. Nothing has been officially…

I’ll admit it upfront: I’m a bit of a badge snob. Years of testing everything from Bentleys and Aston Martins to Breitlings will do that to you. So when Jaecoo offered me a day with its new flagship car, the Jaecoo 8 SHS-P, I wasn’t expecting to come away impressed… boy, was I wrong. I spent the day threading it through the lanes around West Wycombe, to fully test it out. Here’s how I got on. The hybrid system is the star of the show Jaecoo calls it the Super Hybrid System, and while that does sound like a gimmicky…

Smartphones that transform into sizeable tablets used to be pure sci-fi… but now bendable screens are our tech reality. Besides the obvious wow factor, these book-style foldables offer innovative flexibility that could change the way you use your mobile – while also packing in hardware to rival the best phones with more traditional form factors. Think folding phones are just a hinged gimmick? Think again. The best foldable phones are about as versatile as handsets get, even if they almost exclusively come at prices that make regular flagships look cheap. We’ve tested them all to work out which is best,…
