Apple has continued its tradition of annual iPhone releases with the iPhone 16 generation, following last year’s iPhone 15. While both devices share Apple’s familiar design traits and a focus on mainstream performance, the iPhone 16 brings several big upgrades that step it more into Pro territory than previous efforts. The display is stronger than ever, the cameras are prepped for action, and there’s a brand new button (or two, if you count the addition of the iPhone 15 Pro’s Action button). But how else does Apple’s newest iPhone stack up against last year’s model? Here’s what you need to…

Now that Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone 16, the best smartphone race heats up once again. The iPhone 16’s top competitor is Google’s Pixel 9. Both devices are packed with powerful features, offering improved performance, cameras, and AI capabilities. But how do the two biggest base-level smartphones stack up against each other? Let’s take a closer look at how the iPhone 16 compares to the Google Pixel 9. Design & Display: Brighter vs stronger The iPhone 16 brings a familiar design but with notable improvements. It maintains a 6.1-inch display size, just like last year’s iPhone 15 model, but…

It’s the only Florida restaurant to do so, and a pretty big accomplishment, especially when you consider how tightly curated the lineup is. Tâm Tâm has been on our radar since its fledgling days as a roaming pop-up and quickly climbed toward the top of our own list of the best restaurants in Miami since opening its brick-and-mortar location last summer. The restaurant was…

Yep, there’s no iPhone 16 mini (again). Why? You’re about to find out. Apple introduced a number of changes with the iPhone 14 series of smartphones that launched in 2022. With the iPhone 14 Pro devices, Apple finally kicked the infamous notch to the curb, replacing it with the Dynamic Island. We got a large handset without the pro price tag, and saw some impressive camera updates as ever. But one of the most noticeable changes was an exclusion from Apple’s line-up of smartphones – there was no iPhone 14 mini. Rather than follow up the iPhone 13 mini, Apple decided to abandon its pocket-friendly smartphone…

Apple’s Pro line-up continues to get even better, showcasing Apple’s flagship features. They’re at the top end of all the iPhone releases.

Here, we take a look at the differences and improvements Apple has introduced with its latest flagship device. Design & Display: Slim vs slimmer The iPhone 16 Pro maintains the premium…

UPDATE: There wasn’t an AirPods Max 2 at Apple’s Glowtime event, but Apple has launched new colours of the standard AirPods Max and moved it to USB-C rather than Lightning. That seems to suggest we might not see AirPods Max for some time to come. Read more in our news story here. Original story continues below. Apple’s first generation premium wireless headphones first launched in 2020, with not much more said since. The AirPods Max are definitely due an update – will we get AirPods Max 2 or 2nd generation in early 2024? That’s already later than we thought. But…

Blink and you’ll have missed it, but laptop processors have been multiplying faster than Gremlins at a 1am all-you-can-eat buffet. What used to be a slugfest between Intel and AMD became a three-way contest once Qualcomm came out swinging, and Microsoft is goading on all three with its Copilot+ program. New silicon from all three chipmakers meant this year’s IFA show was overflowing with ultraportables. Lenovo launched 10 new models; Asus, Acer, Dell and MSI weren’t far behind. Admittedly these were pretty much all mild refreshes of existing systems, rather than all-new designs, but I still can’t remember there ever…

It seems like a PS5 Pro is very nearly upon us, with Sony confirming a PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation hosted by Mark Cerny – read on to find out when it is. It took three years for the PlayStation 4 to get a new version, meaning an upgraded version of the PlayStation 5 is a little tardy to join the latest console generation. Sony launched Playstation Portal, a PS5-dependent gaming handheld, in November 2023. A PS5 Slim also joined the ranks in 2023, although that model was a shrink only. There’s no new capability aside from 1TB of storage. So…
