Apple Watch remains at the front of the smartwatch pack, proving the most popular option available. In the market for a smartwatch from Cupertino to slap on your wrist? You’re in luck during Amazon’s first savings event of the year. While there are plenty of good deals, the Apple Watch Series 10 might be the best. The latest Apple smartwatch is currently $100 on Amazon US – whichever size you go for.

I’ve reviewed dozens of wireless earbuds in my time as a tech reviewer, and while there are many I like for specific reasons, the Denon PerL Pro are my favourite. They have blown me away with their advanced customisation, exceptional sound quality, and secure fit (despite their slightly awkward looks). With an RRP of £250, they are on the expensive side. However, thanks to Amazon’s Spring Sale, the Denon PerL Pro has been reduced by 39% to £153 — their lowest price ever! Why do I rate the Denon PerL Pro so highly? For a start, I think they sound…

23andMe has filed for bankruptcy, raising concerns about what will happen to the DNA-testing company and all the data it’s collected from customers over the years. In the event that 23andMe is sold, its massive genetic database may end up in the hands of a different company entirely — one that users never consented to handing their personal information over to.If you’ve submitted your DNA to the company via its saliva-testing kits, 23andMe will typically have your genetic, ancestry, and family connections data on file, alongside any personal information that was used to create your account, including your name, address,…

Introduction Atomfall‘s initial reveal gave me major Fallout-but-British vibes, but given the alt-history premise is inspired by the UK equivalent of the Chornobyl disaster, it’s closer in spirit to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Yet neither are really a fair comparison: this first person survival adventure is very much its own thing, and a breath of fresh air from Rebellion’s WWII Sniper Elite series. The 1960s English Northwest setting has let the PC and game console developer really lean into its Britishness, going beyond typical post-apocalyptic tropes for inspirations including Doctor Who, John Wyndham sci-fi novels, and The Wicker Man. That makes…

Though movie studio heads are usually in the mood to pat themselves on the back around this time of year, it is always difficult to take the entertainment industry seriously when you stop to think about the many ridiculous projects that leave you wondering “who asked for this?” IP-based hits like Barbie get studio executives salivating at the idea of replicating their success and crafting new cinematic universes. And even though people are rarely excited when they hear about studios trying to reverse engineer the next Big Pop Cultural Moment™, the cycle continues like clockwork because changing things would require…

The iPad mini might be small in stature, but the latest model packs a mighty punch. In fact, it’s my favourite iPad thanks to its portability. Apple’s pint-sized powerhouse comes with refreshed internals and a design that makes it as pocketable as it is practical. And its even more of a steal with this Amazon deal. During Amazon’s Spring Sale, the iPad mini (A17 Pro) is discounted by $100 from $499 to $399 – that’s a rather excellent 20% saving. On Amazon UK, there’s a slightly smaller discount of £70 – taking the small tablet down from £499 to £429.…
