Apple has debuted loads of products this year (with many more to follow) to coincide with its 50th anniversary but we’re still awaiting a next-gen Apple TV streaming box, which our very own Dan Grabham has optimistically dubbed the Apple TV Pro. I’ve long had a soft spot for Apple TV. I’ve tested a bunch of alternatives, and Apple’s set-top box was the first that I didn’t want to hurl into a ravine. That’s admittedly a low bar, but one Apple didn’t just clear – it vaulted skyward with smug athleticism while presumably dreaming about a future where it would strive to make…
Setting up my soundbar was relatively straightforward: I simply connected it to the TV via Bluetooth, and it worked right away. However, to achieve the best sound, I found that it needed to be optimized to suit my TV—and one setting is especially crucial. The one setting affecting your soundbar’s audio quality The right audio format can make a surprising difference Image by Jack Mitchell – no attribution required.

Ever since I mastered the Gozney Arc Lite pizza oven I became a certified pizza snob. If the base isn’t light, airy and leopard spotted and the crust doesn’t have puff to compete with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, I’m not really interested. Is there room for improvement with my pizzas? For sure – I’m just getting started. One of the ways I think I could improve my pizza prowess is with better bases. Up until now I’ve been using my usual kitchen mixer (with the dough hook) – would swapping to the new Ooni Halo Core Spiral Mixer, available…
All the highlights coming to a small screen near you this year Alan Ritchson in Reacher Remember when streaming services were meant to save us money? That particular dream has aged about as well as most early-2020s optimism; between price hikes, ad tiers, and the sheer number of platforms now demanding a slice of your monthly budget, the average household is juggling more TV subscriptions than they’d like to admit. Cord-cutting promised simplicity, but instead we got cable’s fragmentation problem with a re-brand. But this cloud has a silver lining. The competition for your hard-earned cash means these platforms are…
Looking for the best camera drone? You’re in the right place. Drones have utterly transformed how we capture the world around us. What once required a helicopter hire or an impossibly long selfie stick is now achievable with a gadget that fits in your rucksack – or even your pocket. These flying cameras have democratised aerial photography, enabling everyone from weekend adventurers to serious content creators to shoot cinematic footage from perspectives that were impossible just a decade ago. Today’s drones are hugely capable machines. The best models shoot 4K or better video at super smooth frame rates, capture hyper-detailed…
Tracking your sleep can be a mixed bag. Wake up to a high score, and it’s a good motivator for the day. But wake up to a low score, and it’s a sure-fire way to make you feel worse than you already do. Ultimately, you don’t need a wearable to tell you if you slept badly – there’s a good chance you’ll already be fully aware, and on those mornings, I advise ignoring all scores. Sometimes, though, the scores can be better than you think, and dare I say it, they can even make you feel better than you might…
