Should you buy the Apple iPhone 15?

If Apple makes a phone meant for everyone, it’s the iPhone 15. There are flashier models in the lineup such as the Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, and with the Apple iPhone 15 Plus Apple manages to get a little more screen real estate out of the design. But the iPhone 15 is the most affordable in the lineup, and it has a lot of great features that can be put to good use by anyone.

One of the top features of the Apple iPhone 15 is the 48-megapixel main camera, which was previously found only in iPhone 15 Pro models. New to the entire lineup is USB-C connectivity, which allows for fast charging, but also allows you to connect external drives and SD cards, which can come in handy if photography is a part of your daily iPhone usage.

The A16 Bionic processor tops off the feature set of the iPhone 15. It provides ample power for multitasking across apps and for keeping things up to date across your Apple software ecosystem. Apple software is is something that makes the iPhone one of the most popular smartphones in general, as it includes things like Apple Music, iCloud, Pages, and Photos, and everything syncs easily across all of your Apple devices.

One of the main draws of the Apple iPhone 15 right now is that it’s still Apple’s newest iPhone on the market and we aren’t that far into the product cycle. iPhones are typically end-of-the-year releases, so you’ve got some time before the next wave of iPhones come out. The internal hardware of the iPhone 15 is something to consider here as well. As evidenced by the continued success of the Apple iPhone 14, iPhones tend to be future-proof longer than many other smartphones, as Apple provides iPhones with plenty of power and software access to remain new in spirit for a few more generations of iPhones.

The HONOR Robot Phone feels like the first phone I’d actually buy for its weirdest feature
I wanted a better workflow. HONOR built a robot.
HONOR Robot Phone Hands On First Impressions Review

When I was at Computex earlier this year, I shot a lot of Reels using my DJI Osmo. And don't get me wrong: that little camera is excellent. The stabilization is great, the video quality is good, and it is exactly the kind of thing you want when you're running around a trade show trying to make content. But then came the annoying part: transferring all that footage to my phone or laptop, moving it to the cloud, and finally getting it onto the platform I actually wanted to use. At some point, I remember thinking, "Why are there so many steps?"

Apparently, HONOR had the same thought. The difference is that while I just complained about it, HONOR went ahead and built a phone around the idea. The HONOR Robot Phone is, admittedly, doing a lot. It's a flagship Android phone, a miniature motorized camera gimbal, a robotic arm, and an AI playground all rolled into one. But after actually using it at IFA Berlin this year, I found myself caring far less about the novelty and far more about the camera. Because, honestly, this thing is really good.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is an unabashedly bougie reader, but gosh, I can’t put it down
I am NOT telling you to spend $1,900 on it for reading books. And yet, here I am, surpassing my reading goals at an addictively quick pace.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8

On an ordinary day, if you ask me what's the best e-reader device out there, my answer would most probably be one of Amazon's Kindle readers. I will most likely ask about your budget and your preferences before doling out a few recommendations. 

If you tell me that the Kindle is too restrictive, I would point you in the direction of a Boox slate, which comes in multiple sizes across a wide price bracket. In case you are inclined towards a phone-like reader device, the Boox Palma 2 or the DuRoBo Krono would be my suggested picks. And if you're chasing something light, tiny, and open, the XTEINK X4 would be my go-to choice.

Three reasons I’m still hesitant to order the iPhone Duo
Apple’s first foldable had me reaching for my credit card, but a few days of thinking changed my mind.
iPhone Duo on table unfolded

Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo at its “Surprise and Shine” event, and my jaw dropped. To be fair, I had a pretty good idea about the phone’s hardware, but the software polish and little nice touches Apple added everywhere made me instantly pull out my credit card. 

From the opening animation to the almost creaseless nano-texture display to the under-display camera to the IP68 water and dust resistance, Apple has certainly delivered with its first try at a foldable phone.
