apple iphone xr review feat

iPhone XR review

Apple’s iPhone XS and XS Max are its flagship smartphones that do everything and anything. The iPhone XR is more interesting, because it looks futuristic like its siblings, but it’s cheaper, and more stylish. It comes in a range of colors like blue, red, coral, and yellow, and we can’t stop staring.

iPhone 11 Pro in Pocket

iPhone 11 Pro review: The best camera on the best phone

The iPhone 11 Pro is the best phone money can buy right now. A beefier battery and new triple-camera system with Night mode set the bar for smartphone cameras, and help put the 11 Pro at the top of the pack. But Google's Pixel 4 is right around the corner, and it could steal the camera throne back.

The iPhone 11 succeeds the iPhone XR, yet it's even more affordable at $699. Is it worth saving $300 by going for it over the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max? For most people, yes. The upgrades include a second ultra-wide-angle lens, Night mode for the camera, and slightly better battery life.

Apple iPhone 8 review: A gate into Apple’s walled garden

Apple recently cut the price of the iPhone 8 to $450, following the announcement of its new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Is this a legitimate budget option that can stand up to Android phones? Or are you better off upgrading to the $700 iPhone 11?

Apple MacBook Pro 15 (2019) review

The 15-inch MacBook Pro was given an update in 2019, though you can’t tell from looking at it. What’s changed? A more powerful 9th-gen Core i9 processor option and a slightly tweaked keyboard. Do these changes rectify the MacBook Pro’s biggest problems?

Apple MacBook 12-inch review: Just buy the Air

At $1,300, the 12-inch MacBook isn't cheap. With just one USB-C port and a lower-powered processor, the MacBook doesn't look like it has a lot to offer. However, do its multiple color options, tiny frame, and high-end design make it worth the price? We take it up against its competitors to see where it stands.
