Apple iPhone 15 hands-on

For 2022, it was the iPhone 14 Pro models that saw all the love, while the iPhone 14 got a little left behind. Not only did it not get a new design, but it didn’t even really get a processor bump, sticking with similar to what we saw on the iPhone 13 models. That’s all… Read more

JBL Bar 1300 review: Big Atmos sound in a versatile surround sound package

JBL’s new flagship soundbar has quite a lot to shout about. Not only does the Bar 1300 (known as the Bar 1300X in some regions) manage to match the huge 11.1.4 channel count of Samsung’s excellent HW-Q990C, but it also claims an almost absurdly huge total power output of 1170W – not to mention an… Read more

When foldable phones first launched a few years ago now, they were brand-new innovations, which came with a hefty early-adopter tax. They were really expensive, costing almost twice as much as standard flagships which, in some ways, they didn’t measure up to.

Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini review: Beam me up

Soundbars are an interesting conundrum – it’s now an open secret that they’re a shortcut to massively upgraded sound for even the most premium of 4K TVs, so basically everyone wants one.
