For some reason that still alludes me, my embarrassingly long career in journalism has seen me test all manner of consumer technologies, from power tools to electronically-powered scooters and bicycles. Perhaps a healthy interest in, erm, health and fitness, has also seen a number of editors task me with trialling fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, smartwatches and even those bizarre contraptions that aim to spasm your abs into some kind of pin-up washboard stomach (spoiler alert: they don’t, not eating pies does). Anyway, despite this depth of experience in fitness-y gadgetry, the en vogue smart ring has evaded my radar…
Stuck on how to choose a smartwatch for your kids? It can be a tricky decision. On the one hand, you’ll want to buy a fun bit of kit for children to play with, but whatever product you settle on should also offer peace of mind for adults too. Parents and guardians will want to ensure that their children’s smartwatch of choice fits everyone’s needs. There are quite a few offerings out there — as shown in our list of the best smartwatches for kids — but before you start scrolling through the different options, we thought it might be…
The latest software update for your Apple iPhone is iOS 26.3. I’ve been digging through iOS 26 since its earliest versions to bring you loads of new iOS tips and features – and one absurdly tall clock. Below, you’ll find the best iOS 26 tips I’ve found so far, fully updated. iOS 26 runs on all iPhones released this decade and some more besides. Read our guide to iOS 26 system requirements if you need to know whether it will work on your iPhone. And if you’re wondering why Apple decided not to call this version iOS 19 (given that…
Prime Video just wrapped up the second season of Fallout, its post-apocalyptic drama based on the Fallout video games that have been coming out since 1997. Our heroes (such as they are) found themselves in New Vegas, a dilapidated shell of the city it once was, but still full of people who love a good bet. Will they return order to the wasteland? Will the Ghoul (Walton Goggins) find his family? We won’t get the answers to those questions for a good long while, since producing a new season of a show this complicated takes time. But in the meanwhile,…
It’s well-known that movie theaters have been struggling for a while now, with people not going as much as they used to. You can blame it on the pandemic: attendance dropped in 2020 and still hasn’t recovered. You can blame it on streaming services like Netflix, which buy the rights to popular movie series like Knives Out and then do everything they can to keep them out of the cinema. You can blame Hollywood itself for prioritizing big-budget spectaculars over small or mid-sized movies that might attract a more specialized audience. There’s lot of blame to go around. But there’s…
The premium smartwatch space isn’t exactly crowded. In fact, it really only has two main players – the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the TAG Heuer Connected E5. Both have very different ideas of what a luxury smartwatch should be, and both are vying for a spot in our best smartwatch guide. On one side, the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 is keeping things as traditional as possible. It’s the Swiss watchmaker’s most polished Connected watch yet, with heritage and craftsmanship paired with modern fitness tracking and smart features. On the other side is the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple’s…
Can you believe it? 2025 is done and 2026 is well underway. There were some huge releases last year, including Sinners, 28 Years Later and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. But now we’ve got almost the whole of 2026 to think about. 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 teeth into. From deadly games of hide and seek to extraterrestrials to charismatic stuntmen, there’s no shortage of cinematic…
Logitech’s productivity-minded MX Master series has consistently been the top mouse choice for office workers. That blend of comfort, connectivity and an ability to spool through spreadsheets at the pace of an Olympic sprinter hasn’t gone anywhere for the MX Master 4 – but now there are a bunch of creator-friendly functions also in the mix. The headline addition, a haptic button built into the thumb rest recess, gives you force feedback a bit like a MacBook’s Force Touch keyboard. As someone who works across multiple monitors I love how it buzzes as my cursor moves from one screen to…
Cleaning up storage on my devices is oddly satisfying. Recently, I managed to recover nearly 5GB of system storage on my Android device using a free open-source tool, and a hidden Android menu helped me free up even more space. My MacBook, however, did not offer the same obvious options. That is when I started digging around and realized just how many duplicate files were quietly piling up. These files do nothing but quietly eat up your storage, and no one wants their laptop running out of storage space because of clutter they did not even know existed. I knew…
Summary YouTube Music now creates playlists from text or voice prompts via Library > New > AI Playlist on iOS/Android. Available to YouTube Music and Premium subscribers (plans start at $10.99/mo). Spotify offers similar AI playlists, plus a Promoted Playlist option for more control. Playlists are the perfect way to create a mix of music spanning genres, artists, and even decades of music. The only problem is that creating one usually takes some time. But that’s no longer an issue if you’re a YouTube Music or YouTube Premium subscriber. The music streaming service is taking cues from Spotify and introducing…
