1 META ORION • £TBC, meta.com This isn’t a make or break product. We sincerely doubt anything’s going to break Meta any time soon, and it’s not going to change the company’s direction overnight. What it is a clear representation of the company’s mission: Meta is ready to take its extensive experience in the VR and mixed reality world to the real world. The question, really, is whether the Orion smart glasses will be as the Metaverse was for Meta or whether this really is the time for AR to break through to the mainstream. The Google Glass damp squib happened a full decade ago, after all. Are we, as a society, ready? Maybe. There’s a way to go in terms of marketing and support – we have no idea,…

It’s the Apple Watch’s 10th anniversary, so you might expect Apple to pull something special out of the bag. While not a major redesign, the new Apple Watch Series 10 doesn’t disappoint, featuring a larger display, built-in speaker and exotic materials such as titanium. At just 9.7mm, this is the slimmest Apple Watch to date and about 1mm thinner than the Series 9. The aluminium case version also weighs 10% less than the Series 9, and titanium cases weigh almost 20% less than stainless steel. The back of the watch has been refined with a more seamless, single-form metal design. It also has more rounded corners and a slightly wider aspect ratio. The larger display options (42mm and 46mm) with reduced bezels allow more information to be shown on the…

For some of us, the launch of the AirPods 4 was the best new Apple thing this year. Finally, non-Pro AirPods with active noise cancellation (ANC), gesture control and more. Plus, two different versions to choose from. But what are the pros and cons of the entry–level AirPods and how do they compare to rivals? You can choose from either no-ANC for £129, or if you want ANC, it’s an extra £50. If you’re on iPhone owner on a budget, then these are the best in-ear headphones out there. Design wise, Apple’s playing it safe, but when you’ve got a winning formula, why mess with it? They’re sleeker, lighter and more compact than the previous generation AirPods, but feature the same open-ear design for longer-lasting comfort. The iconic stemmed design…

Projectors have evolved. More stylish, brighter and easier to use, you no longer need to tolerate models that look like they’re on the run from the office IT department, bolted to the ceiling, or tabletop beamers that belt out more heat than a fan heater. The latest generation of Ultra Short Throw (UST) projectors are far more conducive to real world living. They need only centimetres to cast a 100-inch (or larger) image, while a shift to laser light sources, able to deliver high brightness even in rooms with high levels of ambient light, has made them a feasible alternative to large, flatscreen TVs. Switched off, UST projectors rarely draw attention to themselves, but powered up they can transform a wall into a video display. These models typically come with…

CALIBRATE YOUR PROJECTOR To get the best picture quality, calibrate your projector to match your room and everyday viewing conditions. Explore the picture presets on offer, and favour the brighter, more colour rich options when watching daytime sports. OPTIMISE ROOM LIGHTING It sounds obvious, but for a true cinematic experience, minimise the amount of ambient light in the room. Blackout curtains pay dividends during summer months when you want a movie night, but it’s still quite bright outside. Avoid incidental light that may reflect onto the wall or screen area you intend to use with your UST projector. INVEST IN A QUALITY SOUND SYSTEM The cinematic experience can be elevated with a dedicated home cinema sound system. This can take the form of either a soundbar or a separate AV…

In the past the Pro Max model was seen as the top choice in the iPhone range, given its superior capabilities, but that’s all changed with the latest model. The 16 Pro offers everything that the bigger handset does, in a smaller, more usable format. It’s now the best choice for most. Unlike the last generation Pro, this year’s offers a bigger screen, up from 6.1-inch to 6.3-inch, so you’ve got more screen real estate to play with. That’s the biggest increase since the iPhone 12 Pro, which was the first to go to 6.1 inches. Resolution is 2622x1206 pixels, which remains the same 460 pixels per inch as before. That screen bump is the main reason why you might want to give the bigger Pro Max a miss, unless…

CAVIAR PARAMOUNT 18K iPHONE 16 PRO Caviar is well known for its absurdly decadent iPhone modifications, and that’s not changed with the iPhone 16 series. There’s a huge range of designs to choose from, with our pick being the Paramount 18K. Its side buttons and back surface are constructed from 18-karat gold for that touch of profligacy, while the eye-catching Art Deco rear design surrounds the Apple logo in shimmering lights like a celestial body. Caviar has limited this device to a run of just 16 units, so if you’re looking for your next tech folly and don’t know how to spend that pesky 40-something grand, here’s your answer.
