There’s plenty to be excited about as 2026 edges closer. New phones. New game consoles. Smarter AI software. Even more powerful electric toothbrushes. But if I’m honest, the thing I keep coming back to is a car. More specifically, the electric Range Rover. That’s partly because I’m a long-time Range Rover fan. I love the way they feel unbothered by the world, as if potholes, weather and time itself are someone else’s problem. But this one matters for reasons that go well beyond personal taste. The electric Range Rover feels like a hinge moment, not just for the brand, but…

Good sci-fi shows are pretty plentiful these days. Apple has scored hits with series like Severance and Pluribus, and of course everyone is eager to see how Stranger Things will wrap up over on Netflix. But just because they’re the most popular sci-fi shows currently on TV doesn’t mean they’re the best. In fact, there’s one series that’s easily as good or better than any of them, but which doesn’t get talked about nearly enough. For All Mankind is fantastic A masterpiece in the making For All Mankind was created by Matt Wolpert, Ben Nedivi, and Ronald D. Moore, the…

There are always more stats on what we’ve been consuming on the internet this year and Amazon has put together this (mostly fun) list of Alexa’s most-asked questions during 2025. There are some interesting ones – Alexa smart speaker users really are interested in how tall Tom Cruise is (the people questions are a little old hat). Some categories are very logical, such as people asking how long they should poach an egg for. And the list of music artists is a combo of the most popular new music in combination with some of the most famous of all time…

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the phone world’s new favourite buzzword. Almost every upcoming phone has plans to incorporate machine learning and large language models in some form or another, and the first to do so are already on sale. But what are the best AI phones – and the features they bring actually worth having? I’ve used a bunch of phones with AI on board, and a handful more that offload their AI processing to the cloud. The best AI smartphones have a mix of both. You’ll even find AI cameras and AI image editing on certain flagships. Some…

I’ve never really loved smartwatches. That might sound odd coming from someone who reviews the best smartwatches for a living, but it’s true. I appreciate what they do. I just don’t enjoy wearing them. Give me a mechanical watch any day. They’re timeless, they don’t nag you, and they don’t feel obsolete after three years. Strap one on, and it’ll still look good in a decade. A smartwatch, on the other hand, always feels temporary. Useful? Yes. Permanent? No. And yet. The health and fitness side of smartwatches is genuinely brilliant. Steps, sleep, recovery, heart rate, all of it can…

There’s hardly any gadget left that doesn’t bombard you with ads. Every screen you use is pushing products from different brands, and it’s no longer limited to the apps you expect. Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and even Pinterest now regularly serve ads. If you want peace, you’re usually asked to pay extra for an ad-free experience. But what’s more frustrating is seeing ads creep into places you can’t escape, like your smart TV. Unskippable ads that run for minutes quickly turn into a massive waste of time. That’s exactly where this clean launcher steps in, cutting out the clutter and giving…

YouTube dominates online video. There is no other site with as much free video content; YouTube is incomparable in this department. But that doesn’t always mean what you find on YouTube is the best quality content. There are numerous other video streaming sites focused on user uploads that provide arguably better viewing experiences, with greater depth of content, often covering topics deemed too controversial for YouTube (rightly or wrongly). It’s hard to judge the outright best streaming platform. Most folks will default to YouTube because it’s become so embedded in our daily lives. It’s on our smartphones, smart TVs, tablets,…

If you’re into automatic watches, getting a decent watch winder isn’t just a luxury – it’s genuinely useful. These watches rely on your wrist’s motion to keep ticking, so if your favourite piece spends more time sitting in its case than being worn, it’ll eventually stop. A winder solves that by keeping everything moving when you’re not. A good one doesn’t just keep your watch running, either. It can also help preserve its accuracy by preventing the oils inside the movement from drying out – something that can happen if it’s left idle for too long. Whether you’ve got a…

A lot happened in the world of tech in the past year. OLED TVs have gotten brighter, AI has spread everywhere, phones got thinner, and Apple continued pretending it had AI under control. I’ve tested some of the best tech from the year including the Tesla Model Y, iPhone 17, Whoop MG, and LG G5 OLED. With this year’s best (and worst) tech moments behind us, I’ve sat down and looked into a crystal ball to lay out my tech predictions for 2026. Okay, I haven’t done that, but I am qualified to dish out my own predictions. Feel free…

As team Stuff emerges from a mountain of wrapping paper, tinsel and cranberry sauce, it realises 2026 is waiting to get started. And that means a new year for Apple – one that could be its most crucial yet. Because while Apple made serious piles of cash in 2025, the coming year brings with it major opportunity paired with serious risk. Here’s my take on what Apple needs to get right. It’s a mix of expectation, rumour, analysis, wishful thinking, barely suppressed impatience and, mercifully, no turkey. If someone could load this directly into Tim Cook’s Vision Pro, that’d be lovely. Almost…
