Nikon has unveiled its first cinema camera developed in collaboration with the company it acquired last year, RED. The Nikon ZR (the "R" is for "RED" I imagine) is a camera that neither company could have made on its own, marrying RED's color science and video codecs with Nikon's advanced subject detect AF and in-body stabilization. It will go up against other creator-oriented models like Canon's new C50 and the... Read more ›

This year, we're getting the Watch Series 11, Watch SE 3 and Watch Ultra 3, and each of them have some interesting features. At a hands-on session here at Apple Park, I spent some time with the...

Surprising absolutely no one, Apple has unveiled the new iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone Air, which CEO Tim Cook said at the launch event today freed the company up to make the Pro handsets the most Pro ever. Is that claim true or mostly hyperbole? Here at Apple Park, I was able to take a high speed hands-on demo of the iPhone 17 Pro, and though obviously I can't... Read more ›

In this bonus episode, Devindra and Deputy Editor Nathan Ingraham recap all of Apple's new hardware and try to determine if the iPhone Air has any substance behind all that style.

There's a lot to like about the new iPhone lineup: new selfie cameras, a new unibody frame and a even a super-thin iPhone, if that's your thing. All of the new phones share one important upgrade you might have missed during Apple's 72-minute livestream, though: they all start at 256GB of storage. For the first time in four years, Apple raised the base-level storage on its entire iPhone lineup. Since... Read more ›

Earlier this year, I typed up an open letter to Apple, giving the company my unsolicited (but completely free of charge!) suggestions on what it could do to improve its entry-level smartwatch, the Apple Watch SE. Now that the iPhone event has concluded I wanted to see if anyone over in Cupertino took my advice. I asked for a bigger screen, a faster processor and faster charging. I said flashier... Read more ›

This is Apple's third extension since Emergency SOS via satellite launched with the iPhone 14. "The free trial will be extended for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 users who have activated their device in a country that... Read more ›

The announcement of the iPhone Air surprised exactly nobody during today's Apple "Awe dropping" event. As we finally get officiall details about this lightweight smartphone model, one of the biggest questions is about the battery. Thin devices mean thinner batteries, so we've been curious to see how the iPhone Air will stack up. One thing we now know is that it's less beefy than standard smartphones when it comes to...

There’s a marketing practice called Anchoring, where a mediocre product is offered at a similar price to the one the manufacturer actually wants to sell. Sure, you can buy the base model but the next model up, for just $50 more, offers so much more that buying the cheaper one feels like a bad deal. Apple is no stranger to this practice, but I do think that the iPhone Air... Read more ›

If you're trying to decide whether to buy a new iPhone 17 model and looking at the camera updates, there's mostly good news and a little bad following today's big event.

The C1X and N1 chips enable wireless features like 5G connectivity and Wi-Fi 7, building on the original C1 modem the company introduced in the iPhone 16e. At least one reason Apple was able to pull off the thin design of the iPhone Air... Read more ›

Apple might not admit it (at least not yet), but the iPhone Air is more than just a slimmed-down version of the company's latest handset or a more sophisticated take on its usual Plus model. It's a super sleek preview of its upcoming foldable. Now this might seem like a stretch and there's something to be said about the difference between a traditional OLED display and one that's meant to... Read more ›
