Slim TVs might look slick on your living room wall, but they don’t leave much space for speakers. And if there’s one way to ruin movie night, it’s with disappointing audio. Don’t fancy filling your room with surround sound speakers? These contenders for the title of best soundbar deliver beefy bass, room-filling volume and clarity that won’t leave you reading subtitles – all from a single bar that sits neatly beneath your TV. So, you don’t need a fleet of separates to sort out your subpar sound. Better yet, you don’t have to drop thousands to give your ears an…

OpenAI says GPT-5 is their “smartest, fastest, and most useful model yet.” If putting expert-level brains in everyone’s pocket was the goal, they might’ve just cracked it. What Makes GPT-5 Different? GPT-5 is much smarter across the board compared to its predecessors, especially in math, coding, visual perception, and health. OpenAI claims that it’s also “significantly better” at instruction following and doesn’t hallucinate as much. It’s also more honest. GPT-5’s responses are 45% less likely to contain a factual error compared to GPT-4o. The model also communicates its actions and capabilities more clearly, especially for tasks that may be impossible…

One plan to rule them all? Apple One is a comprehensive, single subscription that combines various services into one convenient package.

The latest smartphones pack all manner of changes to get you to buy them. But one unsung feature upgrade is new colours. Each new phone line-up sports a new range of colours for you to pick from. It might sound like a subtle change, but it can be enough for some to upgrade their handset. I’m guilty of it, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s purple and 15 Pro Max’s Natural Titanium catching my eye. And the iPhone 17 is no different. Apple’s next iPhone is set to come in a slew of different colours. Before slipping one of the…

Apple’s upcoming releases are always ones to watch, and 2025’s iPhone 17 will be no different. In fact, it’s at the top of my list of the best upcoming phones. The 2025 iPhones are expected to launch in September as per usual, likely alongside new Apple Watch and AirPods models. And seeing how several features once slated for the iPhone 16 never reached final production, the rumour mill is swirling about whether they’ll make an appearance here. We’re still months away from the iPhone 17 launch, but leaks have already given us a good idea of what’s in store for…

Apple doesn’t make it easy for Android users to play nice with its ecosystem, and the Apple TV streaming box is no exception. However, despite Apple’s tight ecosystem, I’ve managed to turn my Android phone into a reliable remote for my Apple TV. There’s No Official Apple TV Remote App for Android One of the reasons I can’t love Apple TV as much as I want to is its lack of compatibility with Android devices. Apple doesn’t provide an official Apple TV Remote app for Android. The only official way to control an Apple TV is by using either the…

Most people searching for ChatGPT alternatives will usually find familiar names: Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, and a few others. But even with these options, many are still missing the standout solution that brings a fresh perspective to what AI can do. Perplexity Isn’t Just Another ChatGPT Clone When most people think about ChatGPT alternatives, they think of popular services from rival companies like Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and maybe Meta AI. These are all great general-purpose AI chatbots. However, aside from a possibly better AI model, you don’t really get much more functionality by switching from ChatGPT to the other. When…

We’ve never been more connected to the web at any other point in time. At home? Most of your devices are likely connected, including your smart speaker. Out and about? You’ll either be gobbling up data or asking for Wi-Fi password hand outs. There’s not a single model on our best laptops list that doesn’t have multiple bands of wireless goodness inside it. And there’s plenty of extra usage, too. Light bulbs now talk to the internet – not to mention fridges, ovens, and even tumble dryers (we think). To keep up with all this traffic, we rely on Wi-Fi standards to provide a certain…
