Is it worth the upgrade? — I can’t give you a full review of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’ve barely had it for two days. However, I can reveal exactly what it’s like to play with Apple’s latest flagship smartphone for those first few hours of ownership. This is a really important time. It’s when…

I’ve always said that when a particular Mac app ‘sticks’ for me, it really sticks. — Nudging your way into my processes and workflows is no mean feat. For an app to do this, it needs to be immediately enjoyable to use, simple and unrestrictive to make my own, and — most importantly — capable of delivering a decent return on my investment. Today, I’m going…

There was an outside chance, wasn’t there? — A hope. A desperate wish, no matter how desperate. Alas, it didn’t arrive. At Apple’s ‘Wonderlust’ event earlier this month, Tim Cook and his ever-expanding team of public-facing spokespeople revealed the brand-new iPhone 15 lineup. We were treated to the regular version, a supersized edition, and the range-topping Pro and…

Which one is the right one? — Do you believe what those supply chain sniffers say? Are those back-of-a-cigarette-packet notes left in shady bars by ‘people in the know’ really worth the paper they’re written on (which, clearly, isn’t much)? Is Apple really going to wait until 2024 to give us a new iPad mini, an updated…

But it’s good news for you! — I’ve made a big decision. I will not be reviewing the Apple Watch Ultra 2. This really is quite a big deal — the reasons for which I’ll explain in a moment. It’s a decision I’ve made not because I want to make a public display of ‘boycotting’ Apple, but…

What are you going for — 1 or 2? — In yesterday’s YouTube video, I revealed that I will not be reviewing the Apple Watch Ultra 2. There aren’t enough meaningful updates to warrant investing a not-insignificant chunk of my silly season review unit budget into Apple’s latest flagship wearable. Sorry. Actually, I’m not sorry — this doesn’t make the…

Although, there’s a problem… — Yesterday, Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 in all of its variants: regular, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max. I think we might be beyond the whole ‘tick/tock’ update cycle for the iPhone. As I’ve noted on multiple occasions, Apple is firmly in the mould of iterating the iPhone rather than shoving…

Will this reviewer’s dreams come true? — By the time you read this, we’ll probably already know whether or not I’ll actually be reviewing any of the potential new Apple products in this list. Regardless, I thought I’d spend the morning of the Wonderlust event (which macOS still insists on autocorrecting to ‘Wanderlust’) musing on the stuff…

And why Apple will probably NEVER do this — I’ve been using the Samsung Z Fold5 for a few weeks now. It’s been my only Android device for that period and travelled with me to Berlin for the IFA tech conference and some extensive camera testing. I’ve used the Fold5 productively, I’ve shot loads of photos and videos with…
