Whether you’re about to climb a mountain or dive to the depths of the ocean, you’ll want the best action camera in your hand – or attached to some part of your body. These small, lightweight and highly survivable cameras are built specifically to go where even the camera phones can’t. Mountable on helmets, surfboards, bikes, cars and more, action cameras can capture smooth, stable and cinematic footage in all kinds of situations. And their portability and wide-angle lenses make them ideal for on-the-hoof vlogging, too. GoPro has long been the go-to brand in this category, becoming essentially synonymous with…

All the top movies due to be released this year – and 2027. What are you looking forward to the most? Mahershala Ali in Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother Blockbuster season doesn’t wait for a calendar to tell it when to start, and 2026 has already proven that. Whether you’re braving the multiplex or holding out for something to land on your favourite streaming service, there’s a serious case for spending the rest of your summer in the dark — ideally somewhere with decent air conditioning. Hollywood isn’t short on ambition this year either. The cinematic slate ahead swings…

Apple’s September event is usually the fruit company’s biggest consumer hardware moment of the year, and the 2026 version looks set to follow that tradition with a new range of iPhones. Yet there may be some key differences this time around. The event should take place in the second week of the month if previous form is anything to go by and usually – though not always – Apple events are on a Tuesday. That means we are almost certainly looking at the event taking place on Tuesday 8 September. So what’s set to be different this year? Multiple reports…

I get it: buying HDMI cables is confusing. First, you need to check what bandwidth the cable supports and whether it’s sufficient for your resolution and required refresh rate. Some marketing tactics for HDMI cables are misleading, and as a result, you might buy the wrong cable that fails to deliver on its promise. However, when trying to avoid a wrong purchase, most people buy expensive HDMI cables, assuming they’re better. Most fall for the false advertising that an expensive HDMI cable will magically output a better picture, spending $200 down the drain on an HDMI cable when, in reality,…

While I grew up listening to music on hand-me-down Sony headphones, I’ve been an earbuds person for as long as I can remember. They’re small, they disappear into a pocket, and they’ve never given me a reason to look for anything bigger. That is, until I booked a long-haul flight recently for a much-needed vacation and realized my earbuds weren’t going to cut it. Airports and airplanes are practically designed to make you wish you had a proper pair of over-ear headphones, and they frankly fit the travel aesthetic far better than earbuds ever could. So, I started looking for…

I distinctly remember walking into a car garage six years ago. When the salesman asked what my requirements were for the new car I was looking to buy, I said Apple CarPlay. Not a sunroof, special alloys, or metallic paint; CarPlay was what I had decided I couldn’t do without. Needless to say, he looked at me a little strangely (fair), but given that the customer is always right, he thought better of arguing.  As it turned out, CarPlay came as standard on the cars I was looking at (not true of all car manufacturers), so, much to his delight,…

When it comes to realistic sci-fi series, The Expanse books by James S. A. Corey are often held up as the gold standard. The Expanse keeps in mind things like the amount of time it takes for messages to travel through the vacuum of space, how artificial gravity is created, and how the Coriolis Effect works. So far as book series that have been adapted for the screen, The Expanse is definitely among the most realistic, but in terms of book series in general, it has a lot of competition.

If I had a pound for every time someone asked me whether they need a smart ring and a smartwatch, I’d be so rich I wouldn’t need to write about them. But alas, here we are. The truth is, it very much depends on who you are and what you are looking to track as to whether one is better than the other. Or, like me, you might appreciate the insights of both. I’ve worn both an Apple Watch and an Oura Ring for the past two years. Currently, I have the Apple Watch Series 11 and the Oura Ring…

It truly is a minefield out there, littered with influencer-tied apps and fad diet-eating routines. But, and trust us here, whatever your pursuit there is an app out there for you.
