    I'm amazed how well the AirPods 5, iPhone 18 Pro and new Apple Watches dodged price hikes — but the iPhone 17 and Air weren't so lucky (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Earlier this year, many Apple products (but not iPhones, AirPods or Watches) were hit with a huge set of price hikes. And then, more recently, Apple unveiled its new Mac mini range, which also comes at a 50% higher starting price than just five months before. This left me (and probably a lot of other people) fearing the worst about the prices of the new stuff coming at Apple's September 2026 event. But as we watched new products being announced that were the same price, or actually better value,

    I rode in a self-driving powered wheelchair that avoids obstacles and people, and can be summoned when you need it — it’s like Tesla’s Autopilot for personal mobility (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I saw a lot of fun things at IFA 2026, but among the many halls full of tech, one experience has stuck with me the most. It was the Strutt ev1c personal mobility vehicle, which basically mashes up tech from robot vacuums and self-driving cars to create a wheelchair/mobility scooter that can take you from room-to-room in your home without you touching the controls. Equipped with cameras and LiDAR to sense the world around it, the ev1c really has two key sets of interesting features that come from

    I heard the Sonos Beam Ultra, its 7.1.2 channels of Dolby Atmos sound make it sound way, way bigger than it is (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Sonos recently announced that it's launching a new soundbar to fill the gap between the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) and the Sonos Arc Ultra — it's called (perhaps predictably) the Sonos Beam Ultra. It's launching on September 29th 2026, and it costs $699 / £699 / AU$1,099. It's small, like the regular Beam, but it features nine drivers to deliver 7.1.2 channels of Dolby Atmos, including upfiring drivers (which the Beam doesn't have). Sonos' promise is that it's a bigger, more expansive, and meatier home

    I just saw the world’s first micro-LED 3D TV, and I really hope Hisense makes this available in more countries, because it’s the best 3D experience I’ve ever had (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Visiting Hisense's booth at IFA is always good for some future-gazing technology — the company often shows off product concepts that it's aiming to actually launch, but often only in China. So obviously, I like to go, find the best ones, and then write articles like this to persuade the company to release them more widely. And here we are, in one of these articles, because I just saw the world's first micro-LED 3D TV (according to Hisense), and I thought it looked incredible. The reason why is s

    'In 5 months, the entry price of the Mac mini has jumped 50%': The M6 Mac mini has moved out of the affordable range — but Apple already has everything it needs to make a genuine budget Mac again (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Apple has just unveiled the new Mac mini with M6 processor, and for me the biggest news is the price hike to $899 for the cheapest model. This is a jump from $799 for the previous Mac mini M4 model — but that had also received a de facto price rise only back in May, when Apple discontinued the $599 entry-level option (with 256GB of storage) and made the $799 version (with 512GB of storage) the new lowest-price option. It means that between April 2026 and August 2026, the minimum price you can pa
