This year is no different, and the final version of iOS 11 became available to consumers on 19 September. Only a week later the first update – iOS 11.0.1 – is rolling out.

Once you’ve done this, reboot your iPhone to see the latest official software update....

Android Wear rebranded to Wear OS in early 2018, a move that takes away the ‘Android’ branding and also apes Apple’s naming of its watchOS (and ergo iOS and macOS). Denmark’s Skagen meanwhile has transitioned from regular watches to smartwatches. Its hybrid smartwatches are similar to Withings’ efforts, but the Skagen Falster is a full Wear OS effort. With Huawei, LG and Moto also in the game, does Skagen do enough for us to recommend over those established tech brands?...

This isn’t because the bezels are actually that much of an issue. Big bezels do not a bad phone make. It’s because Sony releases so many phones with such regularity that we, and other tech reviewers and consumers, end up getting disappointed at seeing the same design every three to six months. The design itself isn’t much of a problem. But if you just hate on bezels (and many do), the Xperia XA2 Ultra won’t make you happy....

The device comes with a gorgeous 6.1in Infinity-O Dynamic AMOLED display, while the S10 Plus ( reviewed here) comes with a larger 6.3in screen. Both feature 93% screen-to-body ratio which means it’s a lot of glass to protect. The S10 and S10 Plus were the first phones to introduce an ultrasonic, in-display fingerprint scanner to the mass market. While it’s an innovative feat, it does creates a problem where screen protectors are concerned....

Although at their core, they all do the same job: encrypting your internet connection and giving you a new IP address to hide your real one, this doesn’t mean they’re all the same. There are many differences between them, from speed and cost to the more nuanced aspects such as the level of privacy and security they offer. What that means is that the “best” can be different for different people....

The latter has been rumoured for quite some time, with various online sources claiming that Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will feature a 120Hz display, double the 60Hz of the current iPhone range. It’d bring the Pro iPhone branding in-line with the iPad Pro range, which has offered a 120Hz display for quite some time now. It makes sense for Apple to include a high refresh rate display in its upcoming iPhone range, as it seems to be a staple among flagship Android smartphones in 2020, featured on the likes of the OnePlus 8 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S20, and even the budget-focused £219 Realme 6 features a 90Hz display....

Announced almost precisely one year on from the original TicWatch Pro, this second-generation smartwatch looks to offer a markedly similar proposition, with regards to both features and design. Aside from mobile connectivity, Mobvoi has granted this 2019 model a little extra memory and a reworked finish, but that appears to be the extent of the update. If you’re not familiar with the original TicWatch Pro, it’s served as the company’s most advanced wearable to date, offering one of its most feature-rich designs and the only watch on the market with a secondary FSTN display (more on that in a bit)....

TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio sport watch review: what it is The TomTom Multi-Sport Cardio is a watch with a built-in heart-rate monitor. This sits neatly in the base of the watch in order to accurately measure your heart rate from your wrist, meaning you don’t need one of those weird chest-strap things. A built-in GPS receiver provides real-time speed and distance information, so you can track distance, time, pace, speed and calories burnt as you run, cycle, walk or even swim....

At a little over £400 we can expect better than lowest-budget specification, and the Toshiba Satellite L50D-C-12X did demonstrate a few tricks unavailable to laptops at half the price. The A10-8700P processor continues AMD’s reputation for hiding its clock speed (baseline 1.8 GHz, and overclock capable to 3.2 GHz in a turbo mode). Integrated into the same one-chip SoC (or accelerated processing unit, APU in AMD-speak) is a Radeon R6 graphics processor, with potential for action games at modest resolutions....
