When it comes to iPhone upgrades, Apple is incremental. So are iPhone reviews. Those of us who review iPhones are, for understandable reasons, focused on what’s new between this year’s model and the last. The problem is that most people don’t buy a new iPhone every year. The primary upgraders to the iPhone 13 will be coming from the iPhone 7, or 8, or X, or XS, or XR. For them, several years of Apple innovations will be rolled into a single purchase. But reviews of the new iPhones will not address what happened in 2018, or 2019, or 2020.

Sooner or later, something had to give, and amid a worldwide chipset shortage, sooner or later, we were bound to see an increasing number of re-badged smartphones arriving, with the only change being their new SoC. It's the only viable strategy available to manufacturers to keep a certain model on the shelves when the supply of the originally released chipset runs dry.

Apple just took the wraps off of the new iPhone 13 series, which promise the fastest iPhone performance yet, up to two and a half hours more battery life, new cinematic video options and a twice-as-smooth display on the Pro models. But as someone who just plunked down a bunch of cash on last year’s iPhone 12 Pro, those upgrades aren’t enough for me to make the switch just yet. And, even for those coming from an especially old phone, last year’s model just became an even better value.

Apple today announced the Apple Watch Series 7 at its "California Streaming" event, featuring a new larger design, a new Retina display,...

Watch Lotti Tajouri explain how mobile phones are vectors for bacteria and viruses, why this is a problem in our hospitals, and how you can sanitise your phone to help stop the spread of disease.

Ahead of Tuesday’s “California Streaming” Apple event for the iPhone 13, Bloomberg is out with its last-minute roundup of expectations for the event. According to the report, the Apple Watch Series 7 and iPhone 13 are a lock for the event, and many of the previously-rumored features are likely to come to fruition.

Back in July, Motorola unveiled an exciting trio of Edge 20 smartphones with a few shared key features - HRR OLED screens, 108MP primary shooters, 5G connectivity, and 30W fast charging.

Your current phone might get security patches for several years to come, at least if Germany has its way. C't reports the German federal government is pushing the European Union to require seven years of security updates and spare parts for smartphones as part of negotiations with the European Commission. That's two years longer than a recent Commission proposal, and would effectively give phones a more computer-like support cycle.

Earning the "top-dog" title in a niche as competitive as the gaming one is no small feat. Managing to actually do that consistently across four generations of smartphones seems almost impossible. Yet, despite some turmoil along the way and a few polarizing decisions in the latest ROG Phone 5, we still believe Asus is the only one out there that can claim this monumental achievement.

Samsung's new ISOCELL HP1 is the first 200MP camera sensor for smartphones. It features Samsung's all-new ChameleonCell pixel binning technology for impressive low-light performance.

I think at this point we can call the Pixel A series a "mid-range powerhouse." Google has again turned in one of the best mid-range phones out there, thanks to its no-nonsense software with day-one OS updates, a long-lasting battery, and good-enough modern internals. In a world full of wild gimmicks and smartphones with a thousand extras, Google is going with just the basics for $449. It's not really what you would call "new" or "exciting," but for basic usage, the Pixel 5a has everything you need in a smartphone and nothing you don't.

Google launched the Pixel 5a just a few weeks back and the mid-ranger is already creating problems for some of its users. Multiple reviewers and testers are reporting that the phone has overheating issues just like the Pixel 5 did when it launched. For many, the issue seems to crop up when recording 4K videos at 60fps. According to folks over at CNET, shooting videos in the higher frame rate causes the Pixel 5a to stop recording even in a normal environment. Reviewers at Android Police also had their Pixel 5a units throw up a warning message after just over five minutes of 4K recording.

How does a manufacturer fill a product box? Does it do so with the consumer in mind where everything required for a rich and full user experience is included? Or does frugal intent take over, nickeling and diming accessories like a wall adapter or a stylus in order to recoup margins missed by pricing your third series of foldable phones at their lowest prices yet? For the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Fold3, it seems Samsung is counting on the latter's resulting wow factor beyond all else as its leading motive.

Pixel 5 and 4A 5G stock will likely sell out soon. Amidst the news of a new Pixel phone this week, Google quietly indicated that it’s the end of the road for two other Pixel devices: the Pixel 4A 5G and the Pixel 5. Both are currently listed on Google’s online store as sold out, and remaining stock at other retailers likely won’t last long.

Over a decade ago, a handful of rumors indicated that Apple was developing a more affordable alternative to the iPhone 4, dubbed the iPhone nano. Emails unearthed as part of Apple’s legal battle with Epic Games confirm that this is something Apple and Steve Jobs were mulling sometime around October 2010.

The story of folding phones thus far has been one of compromise. Choosing a folding phone over a standard slab design has generally meant you compromised on performance, durability, and most of all, price. They’ve been the domain of early adopters, the people willing to put up with those compromises.

The next week Apple will introduce its new series of iPhones. This time it is an iPhone 13. As per the reports, the iPhone 13 price will be kept the same as its previous models. In the upcoming iPhones, there will be a change in design, better 5G but there will be no major difference in the prices. Will social media and the internet be filled up with some of the upcoming designs of the iPhone 13.

Apple will likely unveil its next-generation iPhones next month, and ahead of time, Taiwanese research firm TrendForce has outlined its expectations for the devices. TrendForce said its latest investigations indicate that some of the notable hardware upgrades for the iPhone 13 models will include a faster and more power efficient 5nm+ chip that will presumably be named the A15 Bionic, support for mmWave 5G in additional countries outside the United States...

A business executive makes a difficult confession when he endures what he thinks is outrageous treatment at the hands of Google's customer service.

When Android and Apple operating system updates started giving users the option to put their smartphones in dark mode, the feature showed potential for saving the battery life of newer phones with screens that allow darker-colored pixels to use less power than lighter-colored pixels.
