People love Apple’s AirPods. I know this because I can’t walk down the street or ride the subway or go anywhere without spotting the striking white “stems” poking out of peoples’ ears. They are everywhere the same way EarPods were everywhere during the height of the iPod. Read more…

Apple iPad mini (2019) review: Reliable, not revolutionary

After three long years, Apple’s smallest tablet, the iPad mini, is back.

But the new iPad mini isn’t completely new the way the iPad Pros are. Like someone returning from years spent abroad, the new iPad mini is still mostly the same tablet as the iPad mini 4 released in 2015 — it looks identical (bezels and all) and works with all previous accessories — but its skills have leveled up.

Powered by the A12 Bionic chip found in the iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR, the new iPad mini has the performance to go the distance. Not just for today, but for years to come. Moreover, Apple Pencil support evolves the new iPad mini beyond being a tablet for consuming content and into one for creating it. Read more…

Samsung Galaxy S10e review: ‘Small’ phones are back

sudshr47 March 12, 2019

Samsung Galaxy S10e

$749.99 (starting)

View Product

The Good

Super fast performance • Reliable physical fingerprint reader • Fun ultra-wide secondary camera

The Bad

Bixby button only partially customizable • Wireless PowerShare feature was slow

The Bottom Line

Samsung’s Galaxy S10e costs less and has virtually every feature the S10 and S10+ have, including one they don’t: a physical fingerprint reader that works really well.

As much as much as I like Samsung’s bigger and pricier S10+ — it’s only a couple of complaints shy of perfect — the smaller and cheaper Galaxy S10e, which starts at $750, is a better phone. Read more…

Samsung Galaxy S10 review

The Galaxy S10+ is everything I expect from Samsung after a decade of refining its Android phones

The phone’s large, notch-free display is a visual treat on the eyes. Samsung’s One UI customization of Android 9 Pie is clean, fast, and responsive — exactly the way software should be. The Galaxy S10+ powers through up to two days on a single charge. The cheapest model has twice as much storage as the least expensive versions of Apple’s latest iPhones. There’s a new third camera on the backside and a second one on the front. Read more…

OnePlus 6T review: Making affordable unbeatable

Android darling OnePlus moves at a speed that often feels too fast. Didn’t the OnePlus 6 just come out six months ago and set the bar for a value-packed premium Android phone?

It sure did! But unlike other phones that cram more into a glass-and-metal sandwich to justify ballooning prices, OnePlus keeps pushing innovation forward without charging an arm and a leg.

As fantastic as the OnePlus 6 hardware and pricing is, mimicking the best parts of the most popular phones and selling them in your own device can only get you so far. At a certain point, a flagship phone needs to lead by other means to really step out of its competitors’ shadows. Read more…

Like a baby learning how to walk and talk, the Apple Watch can finally stand on its own two feet and proudly say “Look world, I’ve arrived!”

In hindsight, it’s clear Apple at first didn’t know what it wanted the Apple Watch to be. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the smartwatch as “the next chapter in Apple’s story” at the tail end of its iPhone 6 event in 2014, and at first it seemed like the Apple Watch would be a tiny iPhone for your wrist.

iPhone XS and XS Max review: Going for the gold

sudshr47 September 18, 2018

The biggest misconception about “S” model iPhones is that they’re just the “tock” to the previous “tick” release, and there isn’t much reason to upgrade because Apple recycles the same design.

That couldn’t be more incorrect. The iPhone 3GS brought speed, more storage, autofocus for the camera, and video recording; the 4S introduced Siri; the 5S gave us Touch ID; the 6S birthed Live Photos and 3D Touch (though its usefulness is debatable); and if you think about it, the iPhone 8, which easily could have been called the 7S, helped make wireless charging more popular.

Each S model pushed the iPhone forward in meaningful ways. The iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are no different. Read more…
