The best portable jump starters can be literal lifesavers. They’ll all jump-start your car when the battery is flat, of course, but many of them bring extras along with them that can just as useful. One of the biggest problems with needing a jump start using just cables is needing someone else (and their car) there with you. That’s not always possible, so a portable jump starter puts you (back) in the driver’s seat....
The watch face lets you create a slew of pages where you can pin your apps and contacts. This is especially useful for creating groups of complications, such as tasks and note-keeping apps, as well as clusters of friends, such as frequent contacts and family members.

Other important general smartphone traits to look for range from the display size and quality, camera technology, and battery longevity....
If you can afford it, our experts think you should just buy Samsung’s 55inch QN55 - a 55inch screen won’t overwhelm your room, and the picture quality is superb.

Apple’s official announcement of the Apple Watch Series 7 detailed much of the device’s specifications, but far less about the intended release date. In fact, the official web page for the new smartwatch still says “available later this fall.” However, according to well-known Apple leaker Jon Prosser, many sources are saying the release is just around the corner. Prosser’s sources claim we could see pre-orders for the Apple Watch Series 7 open next week, with shipping beginning as soon as mid-October....
Apple’s AirPods are just great. They have deep integration with the iPhone and iPad, sound great, and have some genuinely useful features only on Apple devices. On the other hand, there are only three models (not counting the over-ear AirPods Max), and they’re all very similar.

The iPhone Pro has had the ProRAW format for a while now, and it has been a neat way for pro and enthusiast photographers to squeeze some extra quality and control out of their phone camera.

The level of detail is astounding but more important, you get this without all of Apple’s enthusiastic image processing, which often turns photos into oil paintings....

The Master 3 is the Ginsu Knife of mice, with a beguiling number of buttons and features. Feels Great The first thing I noticed was how much more comfortable the Mx Master 3 was than the Magic Mouse....
Apple CEO Tim Cook threw cold water on the concept of the metaverse and virtual reality (VR) technology in a recent interview. Instead, Cook argued that augmented reality (AR) would be more valuable for everyday users. He’s among a growing number of skeptics who say the idea of the metaverse is overblown. “AR is better aligned for productivity in the real world,” Chris Harrison, a professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, told Lifewire in an email interview....
We’ve seen Apple’s plan for its Apple Silicon computers. While the first M1 Macs were just the shells of its old Intel-based Macs with Apple chips stuffed inside, the iMac and MacBook Pro were designed from scratch to use the high-powered, low-energy chips.
