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…

All the top movies to check out this year. What are you looking forward to the most? Willem Dafoe in Robert Eggers’ Werwulf Summer 2026 is in full swing, and so is blockbuster movie season. After all, there are few better antidotes to a sweltering heatwave than to retreat into a dark, air conditioned cinema for the hottest hours of the day. Hollywood has a full slate of new sequels and fresh adaptations ready to roll on film both at movie theatres and on home streaming services, as well as some entirely original stuff for movie lovers to sink their…

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,…

That’s it then. Game over for game discs. Sony has just confirmed it’s going to stop making physical games media from 2028. Apparently player habits have shifted enough that discs just don’t make sense anymore, so the firm is calling time on production. Microsoft is rumoured to be following suit with the next-gen Xbox. Sony’s announcement was a timely one, with Rockstar having only just revealed Grand Theft Auto 6 ‘boxed copies’ would just contain a download code. It’s also just one week removed from Sony mass-deleting hundreds of digital movies from gamers’ consoles, reminding us that anything you can’t…

I own three art TVs, and only one of them genuinely passes for a painting when I walk into the room. There’s a 32-inch Samsung Frame above a desk in our basement guest room, a 55-inch Frame over my office desk, and a 65-inch Hisense CanvasTV on the main wall of that same guest room. Most guests read all three as real artwork at a glance. I look at every one of them daily, though, which makes me a far tougher audience. After picking the Hisense over Samsung, I worked out why it fools me when the others only fool…

Whenever I buy a new smartphone, I instantly open the Settings menu, go to the About Phone section, and tap Build Number repeatedly to unlock Developer Options. This newly unlocked section gives me access to features that not only make my phone feel faster but also hide some that improve the overall usage experience. The best part is that your smart TV, especially if it runs Android OS or Google TV, also hides a secret menu with features that should’ve been enabled by default. Here’s how to unlock this secret menu and enable these settings to make your smart TV…

Convenience isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I once thought it was. But I was wrong. The thing is, I come from the era of tapes. For music. For TV shows. Even for computer games. You think it’s bad now when your console decides to download an update? Try waiting 20 minutes for a game to – possibly – load from tape, before allowing you to feast on pixels so sharp they almost slice up your eyeballs. Hence, you know, me being quite glad when things sped up a bit. Floppy disks! Shiny discs! The magic of on-demand! A hundred million songs…
