  • The iPad Air brand makes no sense – it needs a rethink

    The iPhone Air is an impressively slim 5.6mm-thick smartphone that really showcases the best of Apple’s engineering prowess. It’s just a shame the same can’t be said for the similarly-branded iPad Air. Despite the iPad Air branding suggesting that, like the iPhone Air, it’d be super thin and light, that’s not actually the case. The…

  • 2025 has had some fantastic foldables – but the best is still to come

    To me, 2025 represents the year that foldables have finally gone mainstream.  They’re still absurdly expensive, yes, but prices are starting to creep down, and more importantly, the hardware finally feels mature.

  • People are going to be very confused about the iOS 26 camera app

    I’ve been living with the iOS 26 public beta for the past week or so, and, overall, I’d describe it as a big win. The Liquid Glass UI, while seemingly divisive, is certainly impressive. It’s somehow both reactive and subtle in design, in a way that makes the phone feel more alive without screaming for…

  • Fast Charge: Curved-screen phones are flat out wrong

    OPINION: I’ve had enough of curved smartphones screens, which offer downsides but no added utility. Isn’t it time that all smartphones had flat screens? Android manufacturers have, as usual, started the year in style with the release of a bucketful of flagship phones. However, there’s one trend in common with most of these pricey devices…
