With rising processor prices, it’s time for phones to stop focusing on performance
Flagship phones are already expensive enough, but with component prices continuing to climb, 2027’s top-end smartphones could get even pricier – and for what? A slightly faster processor that most people will barely notice in everyday use? With Qualcomm confirming that Snapdragon chip prices are going up, it might be time for phone makers to…
Apple’s Mac and iPad price hikes have me worried about the iPhone 18 Pro
Apple might not have hiked the price of the iPhone 17 range this week, but the same likely won’t be true for the iPhone 18 Pro later this year. Earlier this week, the multi-billion-dollar company jacked up prices on everything from budget iPads to workstation‑class Macs, blaming what it calls an “extraordinary surge” in the…
I’m so conflicted about Snap’s new high-tech Specs
It’s no secret that Snap has been working on a pair of AR-powered smart glasses for quite some time now – the dev kits for the hardware have been available for the past few years, and CEO Evan Spiegel always claimed that they’d be available by the end of 2026. Well, we’ve just had our…
iOS 27 is a huge update, but I’m still waiting for Apple to fix these basic issues
Every year, Apple unveils the latest version of iOS with the kind of polish and fanfare you’d expect from one of the biggest tech companies on the planet. And this year is no different, with WWDC 2026 playing host not only to the reveal of iOS 27 but also to the much-anticipated Siri AI, finally…
Tim Cook’s final WWDC is looking pretty Siri-ous
WWDC 2026 is Tim Cook’s final Swan Song ahead of him leaving the firm later this year, and it gives him one opportunity to scrub clean one of the biggest blemishes on his time at Apple: the botched launch of the redesigned, smarter Siri. Now don’t misunderstand me; Tim Cook has been a force to…
Android 17’s Gemini Intelligence is finally making mobile AI useful
Modern smartphone launches are frequently less about hardware and more about what the new phones can do with AI – the problem is that most of them are, well, gimmicky. When was the last time you used Apple’s Image Playground? Or added a doodle to your photo using Samsung’s Galaxy AI? Have you ever actually…
Google’s about to steal a whole lot of Whoop users with the Fitbit Air
For a long time now, if you wanted a screenless fitness tracker that could properly dig into your health and recovery, there was really only one name worth talking about: Whoop. The wearable brand has carved out a loyal following with pro athletes and data obsessives alike, offering the kind of in-depth insights that most…
Flip-style foldables are stalling – and the Motorola Razr 70 proves it
Flip phones were supposed to be the fun side of foldables – but lately, they feel like the forgotten ones. While the tech is undoubtedly getting more reliable, the sense of wonder that I felt with early flip-style foldables is being replaced by a nagging sense of deja vu. We’re seeing the same chassis, the…
Your next smartphone should be thicker, not thinner
Smartphones like the Oppo Find X9 Ultra prove that a slightly thicker phone isn’t a flaw – it’s the reason it’s actually good. For the better part of a decade, the smartphone industry has been chasing thinness like it’s the ultimate sign of progress. Every launch cycle brings another round of applause for shaving off…
The Galaxy S27 Pro won’t replace the S27 Plus – and that could be a problem
Samsung might finally be giving power users the mid-point Galaxy they’ve been asking for – but in classic Samsung fashion, it’s also at risk of turning an already confusing lineup into an even bigger headache. With the Galaxy S27 Pro tipped to bring plenty of Ultra-grade hardware without the bulk or S Pen baggage, yet…
