Apple is working on its next major software update for the Apple Watch – watchOS 12. As you’d expect, watchOS 12 will work best with the latest Apple Watches, and it’ll come pre-installed on the upcoming Series 11. But a whole bunch of older Apple Watches will also get the free software update – stretching back a few years. But will your current Apple Watch get the update? Here’s our guide to the rumoured watchOS 12 system requirements. Will my Apple Watch get watchOS 12? Right now, we don’t have any rumours as to the compatibility for watchOS 12. Last year,…

Shoving AI into everything (wanted or not) is one of the biggest tech trends this year. All the latest smartphones have some form of AI features… just like most other devices. I’m not the biggest fan of this – especially when there’s not an obvious use case. While showing off Android 16, Google announced a bunch of new Gemini AI features. The best of these is the fact that Google Gemini is coming to devices with Google TV later this year. Not only am I excited for this feature, but I actually think it’ll finally make remotes with microphones useful.…

Eight Sleep is famous for water-cooled and heated smart mattresses, which are pretty much the state of the bedtime art. They’re some of the best smart bedroom devices you can get your hands on. And the new Pod 5 is one of the biggest upgrades in years. The latest sleep-improving device comes with new components and better processing behind the scenes. The standout new feature is a hydro-powered blanket that can heat and cool your entire body, not just the underside. It links up with the cover at the foot of the bed using a web of thin water tubes,…

Apple is working on its next major software update for the Mac – macOS 16. Its location-based moniker is yet unknown, but will be from California. My best guess based on existing trademarks is Mammoth, due to the nature of the changes coming (more on this later). As you’d expect, macOS 15 will work best with the latest Macs. But a whole bunch of older Mac desktops and MacBooks will also get the free software update – stretching back a good few years. But will your current Mac device get the new update? Here’s our guide to the rumoured macOS 15…

The best home theatre systems (or home theater systems, if you’re in the US) can truly transform your entertainment experience, making a significant difference when it comes to watching films and TV shows and stepping up from a soundbar. Whether you’ve struggled to hear dialogue in the past or found that the sound just didn’t live up to the visual experience, a quality home theatre system can change all of that. Imagine going from barely catching a whisper to hearing every word with crisp, spatial clarity, as if your ears had just been unblocked for the very first time. Add…

Apple is working on its next major software update for the iPad – iPadOS 19. As you’d expect, iPadOS 19 will work best with the latest iPads. But a whole bunch of older Apple tablets will also get the free software update – stretching back around five years. But will your current iPad get the update? Here’s our guide to the rumoured iPadOS 19 system requirements. Will my iPad get iPadOS 19? Rumours suggest Apple is keeping the system requirements for iPadOS 19 the same as those for iPadOS 18. That one was pretty similar to iPadOS 17, but with a…

Introduction It’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t seem to like the new reborn Renault 5. The French carmaker hopes it’s going to be the same for this, the slightly-less-retrotastic Renault 4. Having passed an original edition on the road during my test drive, it’s hard to make too much of a connection; the new Renault 4 is posher and packs in a lot fancier stuff than the original incarnation. What is still present, though, is the practicality. The Renault 4 is sold in a wonderfully simple way in territories including the UK, with a solo 52kWh battery pack and…

The Nothing Phone 2 was one of the best mid-range phones around, so a new Nothing phone has been near the top of my personal wish list for a while now. The design-minded disruptor brand already has one of the slickest takes on Android, and stands out from the crowd with unique features like glyph lighting. Now that Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro are available, all attention has turned to the Nothing Phone 3 due later in 2025. The British firm timed Phone 3a’s reveal around the Mobile World Congress show, and both phones are now on sale. My…

Love Spotify’s AI DJ or hate it, you’ve got to admit it’s one of the most unique (and fun) ways to listen to music. But unlike a real DJ, Spotify’s version has always been more of an “I talk, you listen” kind of affair. Well, until now. Spotify’s AI DJ Now Lets You Take Control Today, Spotify announced that it’s adding a new way to interact with the DJ through a post on Spotify Newsroom. The streaming giant shared that the DJ can now take music requests, offering users “an entirely new way to curate the vibe of their listening…

Not every budget smart TV is a hidden gem—some are just cheap for a reason. Finding a quality budget-smart TV is harder than it looks unless you know how to cut through the noise and spot the real winners without wasting your money. 5 Supported Smart TV OS A smart TV’s operating system (OS) significantly impacts your overall user experience. Yet, it’s often overlooked in favor of flashy specs or screen size. The OS determines how smooth the interface feels, how easily you can navigate between apps, and which apps are available. So, before you get that new TV, check…
