The new iPhone 17 line-up was unveiled at Apple’s “Awe Dropping” event on 9 September. There’s a shake-up in the line-up, with the all-new iPhone Air replacing the Plus model. Apple’s annual autumnal ritual of top smartphone upgrades is back, with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air now squaring off. There’s plenty new under the hood – and a surprising amount that’s stayed the same. While we’re yet to get our hands on the whole range, I’ve been pouring over every little detail about the new smartphones. There’s a lot to like, no…
One of this year’s hottest upcoming phone series is set to debut shortly. Yes, it’s time for the iPhone 17, which is set to appear alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. And there’s also a super-thin iPhone Air as well. Like the Galaxy S25 Edge, that will likely have a smaller battery but sleeker finish. You can read more about the iPhone 17 in our dedicated piece – but when will it actually be out? We now know iPhone 17 pre-orders start on Friday 12 September with the general iPhone 17 release date on Friday 19 September. How…
Every time I see a flat-panel TV installed without a soundbar, I ask myself, “Why?” They’re sleek, relatively inexpensive, easy to install, and far more powerful than built-in TV speakers. However, while most sound good right out of the box, your soundbar can perform much better with just a few quick adjustments. While a soundbar will significantly improve the audiovisual experience without the bulk of a full home theater system, with a few simple placement tweaks and some fine-tuning, it’s possible to unlock its full potential. Whether you’re watching movies, gaming, or listening to music, optimizing your soundbar will help…
There’s no iPhone 17 Plus this year, ditching the larger base-model option. Instead, we’ve got a new addition to the latest smartphones: the iPhone Air. It’s lighter, thinner, and more expensive, which probably tells you everything you need to know. Apple’s not just shuffling names for fun – this is a strategy shift, and the Plus has quietly been shown the door. We’ve now seen a few years of the Plus-size iPhone. It gave buyers a bigger screen and bigger battery without needing to fork out for a Pro Max. But for 2025, Apple decided the middle child wasn’t pulling…
The Apple Watch line-up has once again had its annual refresh of Cupertino’s best smartwatches. 2025 sees the arrival of the Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3. While these watches bring a fair bit of polish, they’re hardly revolutionary – more focusing on generational upgrades. Still, there are a few shiny new tricks up their sleeves – and a price tag to match. So which one should you slap on your wrist? Design & build: now with more buzzwords Design-wise, Apple hasn’t strayed too far from the path. The Series 11 is sleeker than ever, thinner and…
Imagine my surprise when I opened my email account to find a lovely fresh warning from one of the world’s leading media streaming platforms. That’s right: It’s time to change your Plex password, because it’s suffered a data breach specifically affecting your password, email address, and authentication data—which means your account is in danger of being hacked if you don’t act now. Change your Plex password now before your account is breached It’s time to make a change NAR by Gavin The Plex email that landed in my inbox is titled “Action required: Notice of a potential security incident,” which…
Knowing which the best iPhone used to be easy – you just had to choose the colour and the storage capacity. It was guaranteed to be among the best smartphones on sale. But now, things are not so simple. From Mini to Plus to Pro to Pro Max, Apple’s flagship phones ship in more variants than ever before. And just to muddy the waters further, the mobile maker still sells a few of its former headline handsets from previous generations, as well as the entry-level SE for buyers on a budget. So there’s an Apple smartphone for everyone. The tricky…
There are now three generations of AirPods Pro, and if you’re still clinging to your AirPods Pro 2 like they’re sacred relics, you might be wondering if Apple’s shiny new AirPods Pro 3 are actually worth the upgrade. Both wireless buds are unmistakably Apple, both are loaded with features, and both look like they’ve been nicked from a futuristic dental clinic. But AirPods Pro 3 go a step further. From proper in-ear fit upgrades to double the ANC power and even built-in heart rate sensors, there’s more going on here than just a new name. So how do AirPods Pro…
AirPods are comfortably the best-selling true wireless earbuds in the world and the excellent AirPods Pro 2 and newer AirPods 4 hammer home that advantage. But, given the various price points, deciding are the best AirPods for you is a difficult task – especially when there are so many rivals we consider among the best wireless earbuds on sale. In addition to the super-expensive AirPods Max, Apple actually has four pairs of wireless buds – the AirPods Pro (2nd gen), AirPods (3rd gen), AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and AirPods (2nd gen) and that’s before you get to its…
Everyone has a comfort sitcom or two they always return to. Heck, some of us (definitely me) binge-watch a select few options in rotation, breaking out occasionally to watch a new film or the latest show everyone is talking about. But as creatures of habit and comfort, we return to the warm, glowing embrace of our favorite sitcoms, where we’re always greeted with open arms. Now, everyone’s list will differ, but these are the sitcoms I could watch forever without ever getting bored. 12 Peep Show Watch Peep Show on Prime Video or Hulu Peep Show is a uniquely British…
