LG’s new robot Cloid isn’t what you think
I’ve just come out of a LG’s CES 2026 press conference – dubbed a ‘World Premiere’, giving the sense of something new and exciting about to appear (although it transpired all of what was spoken about had already been press released).

Bring the iPhone 17 Pro Max into the spotlight, Apple
Did you notice how short the iPhone 17 launch event was last night? Just over 70 mins. It was odd to see Apple rattling through the products so speedily – when the iPhone 17 appeared after just over 30 mins, I firmly expected it to be because there was a fancy new product coming at […]
