Skip to contentI wasn’t expecting to get excited about the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Another year, another slab of unquestionably capable and good-looking metal, glass, and Apple silicon, I thought.I bet you did, too.Well, yes, that’s exactly what the iPhone 15 Pro Max is. But having used it for two weeks, I’m fairly sure that this is the best iPhone Apple has ever made. And, yes, I know they always say that themselves – they have to because it has to be the best one.This time, though, I think Tim and co. have very good reason to be bullish about their flagship smartphone. It is, in my opinion,...…Skip to contentI wasn’t expecting to get excited about the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Skip to contentIs this a review? Can it be a review of a product which is, basically, exactly the same as the one it replaces, bar a different type of charging port?Probably not.Do I care? No – because the emergence of a new pair of second-generation AirPods Pro with a USB-C-equipped charging case is one of the best decisions Apple has made in 2023.Equally, you might be thinking of buying a pair yourself, and if you’ve found this blog post during your hunt for an answer, that makes this a review by default.I’m glad we’ve cleared that up.In June, someone nicked my AirPods Pro 2 from a gym...…Skip to contentIs this a review?

Skip to contentLast week, I took the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to London for a full-on camera test.This is, after all, the flagship smartphone battle most people care about. Certainly, whenever a new iPhone is launched, my audience wants to know how it compares against Samsung’s best offering.The differences between these two devices continue to reduce in an era where we really have reached peak smartphone innovation.But there are differences, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max and S23 Ultra have very defined audiences.However, there was one huge disappointment that took me...…Skip to contentLast week, I took the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to London for a full-on camera test.This is, after all, the flagship smartphone battle most people care about.

Skip to contentBose has revamped its entire QuietComfort lineup recently, but I think it’s fair to say that, among my audience, the new earbuds are the most hotly anticipated.Whenever I review a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds I’m told, in no uncertain terms, to immediately try the Bose QuietComfort, instead.I’ve resisted until now. And I think that was a smart decision because the wait has been utterly worth it.Bose sent me the brand-new QuietComfort Ultra earbuds a couple of weeks ago and, well, spoiler: they are absolutely incredible. I can now see what all the fuss was about. Yet,...…Skip to contentBose has revamped its entire QuietComfort lineup recently, but I think it’s fair to say that, among my audience, the new earbuds are the most hotly anticipated.Whenever I review a pair of noise-cancelling earbuds I’m told, in no uncertain terms, to immediately try the Bose QuietComfort, instead.I’ve resisted until now.
