In line with its traditions, Apple announced the new iPhone series with a new in-house chip, which is now called Apple A19 Pro. The chip powers the new iPhone 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and the iPhone Air, which replaces the 16 Plus from a year before. Only the vanilla iPhone 17 runs on the non-Pro version of the new chipset. While we are working on the full iPhone 17 series reviews, we compiled some early benchmarks to give us an idea of the iPhone Air's performance with the A19 Pro on board. The A19 Pro inside the Air isn't the full-fledged SoC that's inside the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. It...

The wait is over – the new iPhones went on sale this Friday. A lot of places are already running out of units, though thankfully, Amazon still has the new models in stock. We will look at some Android offers too, but we start with Apple’s new designs. The base iPhone 17 is more capable than any of its predecessors. Apple no longer locks 120Hz ProMotion behind the Pro price tag. It’s a larger 6.3” LTPO panel (up from 6.1”) with an anti-reflective coating to boot. Apple also upgraded the cameras and the battery system. Also note that the base storage for all 2025 models is 256GB. All this...
Apple opens a new chapter with the launch of its new iPhones – it introduces the slender Air and significantly buffs the base iPhone. But how is the iPhone 17 Pro doing? It has major changes on the surface and below that too, join us as we experience them first hand. [#InlinePriceWidget, 14049, 1#] We will talk about the design in a minute, first we have to address the materials. Apple has switched several times over the last few years and now it is back to aluminum, a material it hasn't used on a premium iPhone in many years. Looking back at the iPhone 14 Pro, the last stainless...
Sony’s latest Xperia mid-ranger launched on Friday – the Sony Xperia 10 VII brings significant changes to the design while maintaining that Sony feel, plus it features several important hardware upgrades. The new camera “visor” design may be the most visible change, but the new display is the most important one – the 6.1” panel now has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9 instead of the tall and narrow 21:9 of the Mark 6. It’s also a 120Hz panel (finally!), though we found a lot of issues with this particular implementation. Sony Xperia 10 VII The new aspect ratio makes the phone a...

Last week, we asked you which (if any) of the new iPhones you would buy. We are now looking at the results and, unsurprisingly, the vanilla model is eating into the small Pro’s market share, while the big Pro Max is the most popular. The Apple iPhone 17 may be the big winner this generation, at least in terms of improvement over its predecessor. With a number of significant upgrades and staying at the same price as last year, many will flock to this model - including people that in previous years would have gone with a Pro. The vanilla model is 29g lighter than and has a, how shall we put...
