While I’ve been testing out the iPhone 17 Pro, I’ve also been testing the less expensive Apple iPhone 17. Nobody would call it “cheap”, but it’s the iPhone that I recommend you buy this year. Here’s why.

Apple iPhone 17 Review: Your best iPhone option - Alex Reviews Tech

Apple's iPhone 17 is the lowest-cost new iPhone you can buy -- and it's very much the model you should buy if you're after a new iPhone.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Review: Great phone, high price - Alex Reviews Tech

Time for not one, but two fresh reviews! First up, Apple’s pricey (and premium) Apple iPhone 17 Pro. Can it live up to Apple’s hefty asking price?

The iPhone 17 Pro is a superb phone with excellent cameras, but it's also expensive, and the battery life left me wanting just a little more.

Over at Digitally Downloaded, I’ve reviewed Ball x Pit, a game I would review in just two words if the editor there would let me. He wanted more, so I wrote a few more about one of the year’s best games — go check it out!

Just enough time to sneak out one last review (written and video) for the week as I test out the Nothing Ear (3) Headphones… with a little help from Jabberwocky.

How Bad are Two Dollar True Wireless AirPod Clones? Worse Than You Think

Alex Kidman @alexkidman.bsky.social · 6d

Just got reminded of the time (now a couple of years ago) when I rather stupidly decided to review some $2 AirPod clones.

My ears still regret the experience.

Joke's on you there; I'm a consumer tech journalist. You think we have money in the first place, let alone RETIREMENT money? But sure, I'll transfer my mounting retirement debt into your account, no worries.

That would explain all the dreams about electric sheep, I suppose.

There are SO many very-obviously-AI-generated-and-voiced videos out there. Not hard to spot, but yes, for written work it's considerably more complex, and the "easy rules" for spotting AI written content are mostly garbage. As is most AI writing.

Truth be told, I always found Breakout kind of dull. So a game that’s best described as “Breakout, but more” might not tickle my fancy.

But Ball x Pit does, and so very very much. Here’s my full video review!

Ball x Pit is one part Breakout, one party city builder, one part roguelike... and a whole lot of fun. Here's my video review.

Fresh review time, as I’ve had the Google Pixel Watch 4 strapped to my wrist for the past couple of weeks. While it’s not a radical reinvention of Google’s approach to smart time pieces, it is rather nice…

Not until they're 16 under new legislation at least.

Shop our collection of Canteen bandannas - Find your favourite bandanna design at the Canteen Shop and support a fantastic cause at the same time.

Reminder: It’s a little under two weeks until Bandanna Day (though I wear them often, every day *can* be Bandanna Day if you want it to be).
