If the iPhone 15 Pro Max is just a wee bit too big for your dainty digits and you wont miss the 5x zoom, then Apple's smaller iPhone 15 Pro version packs in just about everything else the flagship has to offer and at a lower price than last year's 14 equivalent. Sound ideal? We check if there are any downsides...
Apple's iPhone 15 and 15 Plus smartphones for 2023 feature last year's iPhone 14 Pro A16 Bionic chip, a debut 48MP camera, the introduction of Dynamic Island plus the long awaited move to USB-C connectivity... you might not like the new colours though.
With a classy move to Titanium, the new A17 Pro chip, a 5x telephoto lens included in the rear camera array and a shift to the convenience of USB-C, has Apple done enough to guarantee another flagship winner?
Between this thread and our announcement news article, the forum has had plenty to say on Apple's latest iPhone line-up, with the added benefits of the Plus, Pro, and Pro Max models all up for debate.
The final piece of Apple's 2022 iPhone jigsaw ups the screen real estate of the standard iPhone 14, drops some of the camera and processing extras of the Pro and Pro Max handsets and keeps many of the range's new features for the year. Has the 'screen-battery-features-value' equation been balanced in the iPhone 14 Plus?
It may be missing a few of the big gun features found on the latest Pro and Pro Max handsets but Apple's standard iPhone 14 still has a handy basket of goodies that make it tremendously appealing. Has it got enough to keep it ahead of the iPhone 13, which has just had a price drop, though?
Keeping a similar design to its immediate predecessor and meting out the usual processor and camera improvements, Apple has instead focussed on new user interface features and invites you to... Dynamic Island.
Avoiding the standard Android vs iOS debate, AVForums member cunnas asks if the added cost of upgrading to a new iPhone 13 is worth it, bearing in mind that Apple is likely to announce the iPhone 14 pretty soon which could see a healthy drop in price for its predecessor…
Apple's latest MacBook Air and Pro laptops are powered by the upgraded M2 processor and were announced along with a host of new OS 16 updates from the latest WWDC event.
Only Apple has the chutzpah to take a midrange phone and bung its latest screamingly fast processor in it. Add in 5G plus improved battery and camera performance and you may well end up with something that smaller hands and pockets are crying out for.
Apple Event unveils new iPhone SE, iPad Air and Mac Studio
by Ian Collen
There's 5G support and new and improved chips for enhanced performance all round, plus the Studio Display monitor, some new looks for the iPhone 13, and some bonus baseball.
Apple's iPhone range for 2021 includes the high-end iPhone 13 Pro and flagship iPhone 13 Pro Max which share most of the latest features, differing only in screen and battery size.
Apple’s new iPhone range consists of the iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max, all benefitting from brighter Super Retina XDR screens and the brand new, all powerful A15 Bionic chip.
The flagship iPhone 12 Pro Max features the series' best cameras and biggest screen. Does this put it ahead of the competition as well as its stablemates?
The iPhone 12 Pro takes the iPhone 12 series staples of 5G connectivity, an OLED display, A14 Bionic chip, Ceramic Shield protection, MagSafe accessories and Dolby Vision recording and adds an extra camera and depth sensing LiDAR scanner. Does this make the already good even better?
The iPhone 12 range is Apple's first to feature 5G connectivity and there's also a move from LCD to OLED displays. Throw in a brand new 5nm
A14 Bionic chip, Ceramic Shield protection, MagSafe compatible accessories and the ability to record video in Dolby Vision and the price rise over last year might just be seen as acceptable.
Apple’s new iPhone 12 range consists of 4 handsets; the iPhone 12 Mini, the standard iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max - all powered by the 5nm A14 Bionic chip and all with 5G capabilities.
This phone is the very definition of déjà vu. At a glance it’s nearly identical to the iPhone 8, released in September 2017. But inside, though much of the hardware is the same, it’s powered by the latest iPhone chip, the A13 Bionic, also found in the current flagship phones. Despite the price rise, it is arguably the most affordable, and certainly best-value, iPhone yet.
Initially touted as the iPhone 9 as it was assumed to fill the gap between the iPhone 8 and iPhone X models, Apple’s latest handset actually lands as the iPhone SE - albeit the 2020 version.
The new, £1000, iPhone XS has 3 problems causing problems for users.
