Apple Vision smart glasses are in the works – here’s what I’d expect to see

Late last year Apple debuted a second version of the Vision Pro headset with the latest M5 chip – but when will we get a genuine successor? Apple Vision Pro was in the works for a long time and was finally announced in 2023. But the reaction from both users and developers has been somewhat underwhelming over the last couple of years, even if the technology on board has to be experienced to be believed (the Wall Street Journal published a particular damning article from users’ perspectives). What it can do is simply incredible. After all, the M5 version is…

Upcoming Apple products guide – here’s everything we expect in 2026 and beyond

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… For one, it’s not just phones. Whispers suggest Apple could unveil its first proper HomeKit security camera, a beefed-up Apple Watch Ultra 4 with a built-in fingerprint scanner, and even AirPods packing infrared cameras that let Siri see what you’re looking at. It’s shaping up to be one of Apple’s most interesting Septembers in years – here’s everything we…

3 Android Auto apps I never knew existed — and now I can’t drive without them

I’m a longtime Android Auto user, and one of the things I enjoy most about it is how much control it gives me. Over time, I’ve tweaked the interface, experimented with different apps, and shaped the experience to fit exactly how I use my car. It has really turned my dashboard into something more useful than just a screen for navigation and music. But as good as Android Auto already is, I couldn’t resist digging a little deeper. I went looking for apps that fly under the radar — tools and services that don’t get talked about nearly enough. What…

I loved the premium electric DS No7 E-Tense  – here’s why it’s way better than the hybrid

It isn’t long since I was behind the wheel of the DS N°4, which was recently updated to bring it in line with a refreshed range of cars from this most niche of French brands that also includes the wafty DS N°8. Now the DS No7 has returned, having ditched the smoother-edged looks I was rather fond of in favour of a more angular design. It’s an altogether more aerodynamic and very premium SUV, which is likely to appeal to anyone who doesn’t want a run-of-the-mill motor on their drive. It’s commendable that DS is providing a wide range of…

Is Apple seriously making AirPods with a camera? The answer might surprise you

Apple’s AirPods make for some of the best headphones money can buy, especially if you’re all-in on the Apple ecosystem. But would rumours of AirPods with a camera be a step too far? It sounds absurd, but there appears to be some logic behind the speculation. Over the past few years, Apple has patented earbuds with outward-facing image sensors, with numerous analysts reporting that the company is actively exploring the tech, even going as far as making prototype hardware – though a proper launch date remains completely up in the air. And before you grab the Privacy Pitchforks (no judgement…

This forgotten Netflix superhero movie will bring you back to the genre’s golden age

In the 2010s, superheroes were so popular that more or less every superhero movie — even if they were about little-known characters like Captain Marvel or the Guardians of the Galaxy — was guaranteed to be a hit at the box office. Fast forward to 2026, and even a premiere movie like Supergirl can’t break even. The age of the superhero movie, it seems, has ended. But we’ll always have the memories. While DC and Marvel movies tend to grab all the headlines, there are quite a few superhero films outside that bubble available to watch on Netflix, including the…

The Razer Viper V4 Pro is my equal parts high performance, no-nonsense gaming mouse of choice

Long-time Razer aficionados will say it looks the same as the old one, but underneath a familiar shell the Viper V4 Pro gaming mouse has been completely overhauled. New optical switches for the buttons and scroll wheel; a new ultra-fast sensor with clever polling tech that basically doubles the battery life; and lower-latency cordless connectivity that’s as close as it gets to playing wired. It takes much of what made last year’s Deathadder V4 Pro one of my favourite ever gaming mice, while bringing back the symmetrical shape that has proved such a hit with pro players. You’ll find more…
