Feeling twitchy? Bird feeder cameras are the smart way to keep tabs on your feathered garden visitors and, thanks to motion sensor technology and high-res cameras, you’ll be able to capture all the species and bird drama unravelling in your outdoor space, with almost no effort. Built-in AI tech will even identify species for you, so if you don’t know the difference between a Marsh Tit and Willow Tit now, it’s unlikely you’re ever going to bother to learn… Both models on test here are weather-proof, solar powered with a night vision mode, but which one to buy – the…
As someone who adored the Cupra Born for its neat design and delicious drive appeal, I was super keen to try the Cupra Raval. I had a brief drive in it a while ago and it promised much, so getting to spend some quality time in the Raval VZ Extreme – arguably the best of the new model bunch – was fab. There are cheaper variants of this five-door supermini with trim levels that include Raval Origin, Raval Plus and Endurance. Prices start with the keenly priced Origin at £23,785 fitted with a 37kWh battery. This is followed by the…
The latest software update for your Apple iPhone is iOS 26.5. 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…
Over the years, streaming services like Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+ have raised their prices, and it’s getting to the point where maintaining subscriptions to all of them is becoming onerous. So it’s no surprise that people have been increasingly turning to streaming services like Tubi, Pluto TV, and the Roku Channel, where you can start streaming tons of movies and TV shows without even needing to create an account. The downside is these services don’t usually have the hottest new releases, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a ton worth watching. In fact, you can watch a surprisingly…
The ports on the back of your TV probably don’t get much attention, including the familiar ones like the USB-A ports. But that simple-looking USB port can actually do a lot of things. And no, I’m not talking about charging your devices or updating the software. You can use that USB port to improve wired internet speeds with an adapter, power ambient LED backlighting, connect keyboards, mice, and game controllers, or play local movies and photos directly from a flash drive like the good old days.

I recently started experiencing streaming “burnout” where, despite subscribing to several services, including Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO, and Disney+, I felt like I had exhausted all my options. Sure, the odd series would appear from time to time that would hook me in, but for the most part, I would find myself blankly scrolling through libraries that offered little to no inspiration. Having subscribed to ExpressVPN for years, I was surprised to see its familiar icon appear in my available apps menu, so I installed it on my Fire TV Stick via the Amazon Appstore. Accessing a…
Summary Plex Lifetime Pass goes from $250 to $750 on July 1. Current subscribers are grandfathered in. Monthly ($6.99) and annual ($69.99) prices remain the same. Jellyfin offers similar features for free, but needs more setup and local hosting. Plex is once again raising the cost of its Lifetime Pass, this time tripling from $250 to a staggering $750, effective July 1, 2026. The company claims the massive increase reflects the “real, ongoing value” of the streaming media server software, despite already doubling its cost in 2025. For current Lifetime Pass holders, nothing changes. The monthly ($6.99) and annual ($69.99)…
Too many things in our daily life are meant to be disposable. Things like wireless headphones are difficult to tear apart to replace parts, seeing as most manufacturers would rather have you purchase their upgraded model instead of repairing the pair you already own. That was one of the first of many reasons why the Fender MIX caught my attention. Rather than soldering the battery in place, one of their major features is a removable and user-replaceable battery, alongside plenty of other modular design choices. They’re sleek, slick, and full of fun features, but are they more than a marketing…
Summary 1000X The Collexion prioritizes luxury design and comfort with a thicker headband and slimmer ear cups. Upgraded audio tech (thicker copper, V3 chip, spatial upmixing) aims for the best Sony sound yet. Trade-offs: crisper highs but weaker ANC and 6 hours less battery This year marks 10 years since the release of Sony’s flagship XM series headphones back in 2016. The new range, called 1000X The Collexion, promises Sony’s highest sound quality yet — but it might come at the cost of my personal favorite feature of the WH-1000XM6. Related Sony’s new WF-1000XM6 earbuds are exactly the upgrade I…
The Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop collection is one of the most unexpected watch collaborations in recent memory. Eight pocket watches, each built around a hand-wound SISTEM51 movement and dressed in Bioceramic. They take direct design cues from AP’s iconic Royal Oak, right down to the octagonal bezel and eight hexagonal screws. The result is playful, bold, and genuinely difficult to rank (that’s why this list is essentially my personal preference). Every model packs a tapisserie dial, sapphire crystal, anti-reflective coating, and a swappable calfskin lanyard. There are two styles, Savonnette, with the crown at 3 o’clock, and Lépine,…
