Apple swears blind iPadOS and macOS aren’t one day going to merge. We’re not fooled. This year, the operating systems that power your iPads and Macs are more similar than ever. But that’s mostly a good thing. As our best iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 tips show, bringing a little iPad savvy to Mac – and vice-versa – makes both platforms better. And each platform still also has plenty of tricks of its own. Not sure whether your devices will run the latest system? Before sadness ensues, check out our features on iPadOS 26 system requirements and macOS 26 system requirements.…
Lossless audio has finally arrived on Spotify Premium – read our full story for more. Rumours of a higher tier Spotify subscription aimed at higher quality speakers or headphones have circled for years. The company first announced it was working on a new tier offering CD-quality music using a lossless compression format all the way back in February 2021. The high-quality streams would, the company said, be “rolling out in select markets” later that year. We even got a Billie Eilish featuring ad and everything. But since then, nothing official has happened. Yep, that’s over four years we’ve been waiting.…
Hulu is a terrific streaming platform, but it remains less popular than services such as Netflix, HBO Max, and its sister service, Disney+. The platform maintains an underdog status despite providing an extensive range of appealing content to its users. If you’re in the mood for something new, you could try some classic shows on Netflix or some hidden gems on Apple+. You could also skip both and consider Hulu instead. Hulu provides you with an extensive collection of original content that suits different viewer preferences. Hulu’s content collection includes multiple award-winning comedies and dramatic series, many of which remain…
I’ve been a tech journalist for over a decade, and in that time I’ve reviewed more phones, tablets, smartwatches and earbuds than I can count. It’s been fun, but if I’m honest, the last few years have felt like a lull. Phones were getting minor spec bumps. Smarthome tech was getting cheaper. Battery life improved a little each year. Useful, sure, but hardly thrilling. As someone who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, my bar for “exciting tech” is probably a little skewed. I was raised on Spy Kids, Pierce Brosnan’s gadget-loaded James Bond, and even Robin Williams…

It’s entirely possible to use Plex without any third-party plugins or apps, especially if you’re just using it casually. Everything you need to stream your media library comes with the packaging, so to speak. However, once I discovered Plex could do more, I realized I needed it to do more, like a customer not knowing what they want until they have it. What I wanted was to turn Plex into a true media library—a server to house all of my entertainment, from photos to movies. And it just so happens I didn’t need to look into third-party software to make…
The new iPhone 17 line-up was unveiled at Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on 9 September. The all-new iPhone Air replaces the Plus model, and sits alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. There’s plenty new under the hood – and a surprising amount that’s stayed the same. If, like me, you can’t wait to get your hands on the latest iPhones, you’ll want to make sure you pre-order the iPhone 17. There are lots of dates to remember, so here I’ll walk you through how to pre-order the iPhone 17 line-up and where you can. When is…
iPhone Air is unlike any smartphone you’ve ever experienced before. iPhone Air is a total game changer. And iPhone Air is so light that you’ll need to use the new Apple crossbody strap with it, because if you accidentally release the thing from your grasp, it will soar up to the heavens like a helium-filled balloon. Apple CEO Tim Cook definitely said at least two of those things at the company’s September event, causing me to emit some air of my own (Sighing! I’m talking about sighing!) at yet another waft of Apple hyperbole. Look, it’s not that the iPhone Air is…
The new iPhone 17 line-up was unveiled at Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on 9 September. There’s a shake-up in the line-up, with the all-new iPhone Air replacing the Plus model. Apple’s annual autumnal ritual of top smartphone upgrades is back, with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air now squaring off. There’s plenty new under the hood – and a surprising amount that’s stayed the same. While we’re yet to get our hands on the whole range, I’ve been pouring over every little detail about the new smartphones. There’s a lot to like, no…
One of this year’s hottest upcoming phone series is set to debut shortly. Yes, it’s time for the iPhone 17, which is set to appear alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. And there’s also a super-thin iPhone Air as well. Like the Galaxy S25 Edge, that will likely have a smaller battery but sleeker finish. You can read more about the iPhone 17 in our dedicated piece – but when will it actually be out? We now know iPhone 17 pre-orders start on Friday 12 September with the general iPhone 17 release date on Friday 19 September. How…
