The latest technology news from around the world
Yesterday, Apple announced the new iPhone 14 series, which consists of 4 different phones and is the first time we have seen a Plus model since the iPhone 7 Plus. Apple appears to be separating the phones off into two distinct models with two sizes for each. You have the affordable (for Apple) iPhone 14…
[Update 8th September 2022] I have previously updated the prices on the running costs of fridges and hot tubs based on the 80% price rise that would occur in October. The government is finally pulling their finger out and stepping in to do something. the price cap was supposed to go up to £3,549, which…
[Update 8th September 2022] I have updated some of the figures again to represent what is expected to be the new-new October price cap which is a price cap on the price cap which will be government-backed through a £100bn of loans. I fully expect the government will find some way to screw us sooner…
Yesterday, Apple held their annual launch event where they revealed the iPhone 14 series and the new Apple Watch Series 8, including the new Ultra model. If you spent a lot of money on an iPhone last year, there is a good chance you spent a decent amount on a good-quality case to protect it….
I love my Jackery Explorer 1000, but just like electric cars, it would seem the trend of portable power stations is starting to shift towards using Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). Bluetti has multiple LiFePO4 portable power stations, including the relatively affordable EB70 priced at around £699. Recently Anker launched the 757 PowerHouse using LiFePO4, which…
Huawei may not have the presence in the western consumer market that they once did, but they still churn out some amazing and often innovative hardware. At IFA, they have launched several new products, with the Watch D being the most interesting. Huawei Watch D with wrist-type ECG and blood pressure monitoring device Launched on…
I have been a fan of smart scales for years, I found my Fitbit Scales, then Nokia (now Withings) scales were a significant help with my losing weight, allowing me to track the trend of declining weight compared to stressing about individual weigh-ins. Withings appear to be the only company attempting to expand the functionality…
A few days ago, I was mostly unimpressed with the Fitbit Sense 2 announcement, with very little difference between the previous generation and some of the new features not even available at launch. Yesterday, Garmin announced the new Venu Sq 2, and this launch is entirely different. Garmin has made massive improvements since the original…
It is easy to spend thousands on a large OLED TV, but if you are not obsessed with having the darkest blacks possible or fancy Dolby Vision HDR, then you can pick up some amazing buys at the lower end of the spectrum. I have never heard of the German TV brand METZ, before, but…
It has been ten years since Philips Hue launched its first smart bulb, and they have been the best smart lighting solution ever since. Today, at IFA 2022, they have announced new products in their ever-expanding smart lighting product range. Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip for PC – Synchonisable RGB lighting for gaming If anything,…
Yesterday, in Paris, not IFA, OPPO announced Reno8 Series in Europe, featuring MariSilicon X on Reno8 Pro. The TLDR is that the Oppo Reno8 Pro is basically the Realme GT Neo 3 that I reviewed earlier in the year. To be fair, the Realme GT Neo 3 is a superb phone. There are some infinitesimal…
Things are looking very bleak in the UK for the next couple of years. By far, the biggest issue we all face is the massive increase in the cost of electricity and gas. In the past few months, I have done some posts on the current running costs of portable air conditioners, washing machines and…
