Knowing which the best iPhone used to be easy – you just had to choose the colour and the storage capacity. It was guaranteed to be among the best smartphones on sale. But now, things are not so simple. From Mini to Plus to Pro to Pro Max, Apple’s flagship phones ship in more variants than ever before.

Getting one of the best watch winders is an essential investment for any automatic watch enthusiast. If you own one or more self-winding timepieces, you already know they rely on your wrist’s movement to stay ticking. But what happens when your favourite watch spends more time in its display case than on your wrist? That’s where a watch winder comes in. The right winder not only keeps your watch wound and ready to wear at a moment’s notice, but, arguable, also helps maintain the accuracy of its timekeeping by stopping the delicate lubricants from drying out.

When it comes to music streaming recaps, Spotify Wrapped gets most of the attention. However, Apple Music has its own review feature, and it does Spotify one better: it shares your listening trends on a monthly basis. Apple Music Just Dropped the First 2025 “Replay” January did feel like an entire year, but the reality is we’ve only made it through one month of 2025. While Spotify users can only wait patiently for the next ten months—or perhaps use them to prepare for Spotify’s end-of-year Wrapped recap—Apple Music subscribers are already privy to those delicious listening stats.

CarPlay links your iPhone – even mid-range models – to your car’s infotainment display. It puts access to familiar apps and features right on your dashboard, partly replacing your car’s built-in system – which, let’s face it, probably isn’t as slick. But at Apple’s WWDC 2022 software showcase, the brand unexpectedly stole the show with a major CarPlay refresh. The next generation of CarPlay is headed to all in-car screens, not just the main infotainment panel. In theory that means Apple-styled speedometers, dials, and widgets. The tech giant first pegged 2024 for compatible cars to be on the road. But…

With the Xbox, PS2, Gamecube and Dreamcast, the early 2000s heralded the golden age of gaming. With it, came landmark titles like Halo, Tekken Tag Tournament and Timesplitters. Games were graphically superior and more immersive, but that wasn’t important. What really mattered, was whether your preferred console was an Xbox or Playstation. In the early days, Sony’s PlayStation carved out a hefty chunk of the home gaming market. Microsoft, naturally, was under pressure to respond, lest its dominance of the PC market be under threat. The firm’s answer was the Xbox, the first of which joined the pantheon of sixth-generation gaming…
