There is no iPhone 16 yet; it will not be until later this year. But people have their wishlists because when there’s talk of a possible update to their daily carry on the horizon, it inspires them to think of where they’d want to spend their money. - Florence Ion Read More

The point of a budget smartphone is to exist as the “fast fashion” equivalent of its flagship counterparts. For instance, in the case of the top Android phone seller, Samsung, its A-series delivers some of the brand’s premium experiences at a fraction of the cost. Mid-range Samsung devices are known for sporting the brightest, most vibrant displays, just like their Big Phone counterparts. Or, in the case of Google’s Pixel A-series, it’s a cheaper way to access Google’s camera algorithms and other AI smarts without buying into unnecessary features—like a temperature sensor. - Florence Ion Read More

Now that the M3 MacBook Airs are out and available in stores and online, it might be time to take a moment and truly consider what you’re getting before you jam down on that “Purchase” button. It’s easy to recommend Apple’s lightest laptop with either a 13-inch or 15-inch screen. However, even though they’ll perform identically, you still have a fair few options for RAM and memory storage, not to mention the vast difference in price between the cheapest MacBook Air and the most expensive, 15-inch version. - Kyle Barr Read More
