They pack a ton of features, can hold a ton of books, and they even have educational value. For example, the Kindle's Vocabulary Builder is a lesser known built-in function that allows you save a list of words that you want to learn more about. It works side-by-side with the integrated dictionary and is great for folks looking to improve their vocabulary.

The season has a ton of deals on Apple's recently-released iPhone 15, including trade-in deals to get something back from your old phone and carrier switch plans for massive savings. Even if you don't want to go through a carrier, there are discounts available from major retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart and Apple themselves. These deals might come with the phones already locked to a carrier or entirely unlocked, so you can connect to any service provider.

]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2023 21:55:26 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-iphone-deals/ While demand for smartphones remains fairly soft, Samsung says its Galaxy S23 lineup has been floating the business along. As we pass the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 and head into 2024, our attention now turns to the Galaxy S24 releases.

]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2023 21:09:44 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung-galaxy-s24-features-specs-rumours/ The USB-C port is becoming so standard that even Apple has ditched its longstanding tradition of specialty chargers - yet few computer mice have followed suit. Despite the latest gadgets trending towards the faster, smaller USB-C rather than USB-A, finding a USB-C mouse isn't an easy task, let alone finding the best USB-C mouse. Thankfully, a few wired and wireless mice that connect via USB-C have arrived, from high-end gaming mice to budget clickers. Another option is to use a Bluetooth mouse, which doesn't require a port for connection, only recharging.

]]> Mon, 04 Dec 2023 19:00:23 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-usb-c-mouse/ Even if you've purchased an Android phone with what you thought was a larger amount of storage space you may well soon find that it's filling up. Apps, games, photos and videos can all add up to clog up your device and ruin your experience. It's easy to think you'll never run out of space. But one day you will, and it'll affect how well your phone works.

The best coding laptops include fast processors and at least 16GB of RAM to ensure smooth operation while developing software and compiling code. A great keyboard also does wonders for your speed and accuracy, and it's worth getting a laptop with responsive keys to make your typing a pleasant experience.

We spend too much time on screens, which damages our eyesight. We spend too much time gaming indoors, which saps us of vital vitamin D. We obsess over social media, which puts strain on our mental health.

]]> Thu, 30 Nov 2023 19:45:09 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-wellness-tech/ With all the time that most of us spend on various social media apps on our phones, messaging friends, writing posts and checking out the newest trends, it's no surprise that texting has mostly replaced calling. It's so much more accessible, convenient and less demanding, so choosing to text someone at a convenient time for you, without the need for a whole conversation, is almost a no-brainer.

]]> Wed, 29 Nov 2023 19:00:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/how-to-use-latest-microsoft-windows-ai-features/ Being able to print a return label or form to sign is one of those things you won't need to do until you absolutely need to do it. And if you don't want to make the trip to your local library, pack and ship store, or your parents' house, it's one of the things only owning your own printer can solve. Owning a digital printer is far less critical than it used to be, but it can still come in handy if you own a good one to round out your home office.

]]> Wed, 29 Nov 2023 15:48:53 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-digital-printer/ If you can't wait to get back to the studio to edit your latest footage, a laptop is the way to go. But because photo and video editing is so hardware-intensive, you'll need to choose a powerful laptop to keep up. This means something with an advanced graphics card and processor, as well as 16GB of RAM or more.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 21:21:23 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-laptops-for-video-and-photo-editing/ In 2020, we saw a resurgence of 90s fashion and aesthetic amongst Gen Zers, and even in tech when Samsung launched the original Z Flip. Instead of fading out, the trend has continued to dominate the foldable phone market and the Galaxy Z Flip just launched its 5th generation handset this past fall.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 20:30:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/z-flip-5-black-friday-trade-in-deal/ Cyber Monday may have come and gone, but the deals aren't all gone yet. For some items, we're seeing a shift in price, while others are exactly the same as they were yesterday with extended sale pricing. So, if you were too busy to shop yesterday because Mondays can be a nightmare, we get it, and we have your back.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 19:35:54 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/the-best-deals-still-available-for-cyber-monday/ Every year in tech kicks off with one huge show. Run by the CTA - Consumer Technology Association - the Consumer Electronics Show is notorious because it's held in Las Vegas - the city of sin - but also because it was designed to focus on consumer products. It's the largest event in the tech calendar, often seeing some of the biggest launches of the year, or outlining some of the biggest trends in technology for the next 12 months.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 18:00:23 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/ces-dates-and-announcements-what-it-is-and-when/ It wasn't all that long ago that iOS 17 landed on iPhone models, but there are already a number of rumours surrounding what is next for iPhone in terms of hardware and software. We are covering off the hardware rumours for iPhone 16 separately, but here we are looking at what has been said about the upcoming features for iPhone's software.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 16:06:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-ios-18-release-date-features-compatible-iphones/ As we approach the end of the year, I like to draw a line under the smartphone launches that have defined the past 12 months. It's a moment of quiet when the tech giants focus on selling their devices rather than announcing new ones; a brief moment of respite, when we can all draw breath and enjoy our phones.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 16:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/smartphone-launches-are-a-mess/ There aren't many things as versatile as smartphones nowadays. They are small, pocketable devices that can take great pics, connect us to people around the world, get some work done, or let you unwind and relax with a game or a movie - all in the palm of your hand.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 15:35:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/how-to-block-suggested-apps-on-google-pixel/ Over the years, Google has steadily grown into a company well-known for its smartphones. These are often the enthusiast's pick, offering great value for money, incredible camera performance, interesting features and a software experience that none of the competitors even come close to matching.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 14:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/google-pixel-9-rumors-release-date-specs-price-features/ This December, mobile-first tech brand OnePlus will celebrate its tenth anniversary. In that decade, the company has matured from raucous maverick to a part of the establishment in the smartphone market. So, beyond its first folding phone, what's next?

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 11:00:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/oneplus-12-rumours-release-date-specs-features/ Cyber Monday is nearing its end. However, it's not too late to grab some fantastic deals, especially on one of the most sought-after items this holiday season: Toniebox and Tonies.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 01:56:22 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/tonie-cyber-monday-deals-toniebox-sale/ Now, don't get us wrong, buying the best hard drive for music production isn't exactly the most extravagant or inspirational purchase, but it could potentially be one of your smartest. Chances are, you’ll have bought the best PC for music production with plenty of memory. After all, we all know saving recorded music files and huge band projects from a DAW takes up lots of room.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 00:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-music-production-hard-drive/ The biggest sales event of the year is - Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend - is coming to a close with today's sale being the last of the major price drops. The Amazon and Best Buy sales are live right now, and they include some of the biggest smartphone discounts that we've seen all year. If you need an upgrade or a gift for a loved one, it's a perfect time to pick one up. You'll find massive savings from all the popular brands, whether you're iPhone obsessed or an Android evangelist.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 23:15:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-black-friday-phone-deals/ The iPad has come a long way since its 2010 debut. It started off being criticized as nothing more than an enlarged, clunky iPhone, but it has since become the tablet to aspire to. With many iterations targeting both portability and power in a durable and sleek build, there's a lot to love about these aluminum slabs.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:58:24 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-black-friday-ipad-deals/ This particular Baseus magnetic power bank is one of the best MagSafe battery packs we've tested thanks to its compact and portable form factor, and of course, powerful charging capability. While it's not Apple's official MagSafe charger, it boasts the same overall look, which means it'll align nicely with your iPhone's back magnet and overall look.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:52:05 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/this-magsafe-power-bank-is-cheaper-and-faster-than-apples-version/ Apple devices are rarely discounted and when they are, the discounts aren't usually huge. You aren't ever likely to see 50 per cent off an iPad for example, but money off devices like iPads and Apple Watch models are very much welcomed when they do appear. Thankfully, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are when you'll often find the best prices on Apple devices rather than just the occasional bit of money off AirPods or a deal on an iPhone model and this year's deals don't fall short.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:27:36 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-apple-black-friday-deals/ We're now at the tail end of the holiday deal-dash and it's officially Cyber Monday - the deals are almost gone, people. This is the biggest sales event of the year, but it doesn't last forever.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:07:50 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-amazon-black-friday-deals/ A couple of years ago, Apple introduced a feature in iOS which allowed you to tap and hold an object in the foreground of any photo in the Photos app, and then either drag and drop it into a document or message. In iOS 17, you can also use it to create a dedicated sticker to use in Messages. It seems Samsung has been inspired by this feature and introduced its own version in One UI 15.1 earlier in 2023.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 22:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung-gallery-photo-subject-tip-drag-and-drop-one-ui/ While everyone is discussing what kind of deals you can get on TVs, tablets, phones, and other conventional gadgets on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we're here thinking about the weird stuff you can save money on right now. Cyber Monday Weekend is officially here, and we've gone deep hunting for weird gadgets at big discounts.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 20:33:33 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-cool-gadget-deals-black-friday-cyber-monday/ The Black Friday deals have really impressed me this year when it comes to Apple products. There have been some incredible discounts across iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch and MacBooks, with some devices hitting the lowest prices we've ever seen them. It isn't just the core products you should be paying attention to however, because there are also some excellent deals on Apple accessories and some, like AirTags, don't get anywhere near the attention they deserve. Black Friday deals across Amazon and Best Buy are offering $20 off a four-pack of AirTags and this is one deal I will most definitely be snapping up to add to my collection.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 20:15:21 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-airtags-black-friday-deal/ If you're browsing around the internet looking for some nice Cyber Monday deals, we have you covered. Walmart has its flash deal section packed with discounts that won't last long. There are tons of products on sale, but many are underwhelming in terms of discount percentage. We didn't let that stop us, as we spent a few hours combing through everything Walmart offers to find the best of the rest.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 19:30:17 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/cyber-monday-walmart-cant-miss-flash-deals/ As both a coffee lover and slow drinker, my coffee often becomes too cold before I'd like it to - and reheating in the microwave just doesn't preserve the same taste. That's why I was thrilled when I saw Ember introduce a second-generation travel coffee mug which, like the standard mug, is controlled via your phone using Bluetooth technology. However, almost as hard to digest as stale coffee was the $200 price tag.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 19:03:54 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/ember-travel-mug-2-cyber-monday-deal/ Cyber Monday deals at Amazon and Best Buy are officially here, which is great but can be a bit overwhelming. So, we did the work for you and looked at some of the best items on sale right now that make great stocking stuffers or fun Secret Santa gifts.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 17:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-stocking-stuffers/ The cameras on our phones are getting more capable with every generation. So, it's not surprising to see them being used more frequently for professional content creation. Almost everyone in the world uses their phone to take photos and videos, but if you want to separate yourself from the crowd, you might want to invest in some gear that can take your shots to the next level.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 16:35:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-smartphone-camera-accessories/ In recent months, there's been a trend towards slimmer, lighter gaming laptops that offer a degree of portability rather than simply spending their entire life indoors.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 13:30:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/msi-raider-ge78-hx-review/ The Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are nearly at an end, meaning you must move fast if you want to secure this deal on the best Kindle. The Kindle Paperwhite has a 14 per cent discount, saving you $20 on the Kindle that I most frequently recommend to people. It has been reduced for the sales period, but that's about to end, so move fast to secure this discount.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 13:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/the-kindle-i-recommend-is-on-sale-for-cyber-monday/ We've been hearing things about the OnePlus 12 for a little while now and we already heard that there was going to be a OnePlus event on 5 December, but now we can firmly put the two things together. That's following the confirmation that the date will most definitely be the big flagship phone announcement day.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 12:04:38 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/confirmed-heres-when-the-oneplus-12-will-be-announced-as-expectations-grow/ The Pixel 6a has always been great value for money, offering a lot of the flagship Google Pixel experience but at a much lower cost. It has never been as affordable as it is today, though, where it can be had for an astonishingly low $49.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 12:00:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/cyber-monday-pixel-6a-deal/ Living in New York City, there are a few things I don't leave my apartment without - my keys, my earbuds, and up until I misplaced it last month, my Birdie personal safety alarm. At a super intimidating five foot one, I constantly have my head on a swivel. Up until I was gifted this device for college graduation, I had little confidence when it came to actually defending myself. Sure, pepper spray is also a great option, but even experts warn that it can potentially be used against you and isn't the most conducive for travel.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 04:15:21 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/birdie-safety-alarm-black-friday-cyber-monday-deal/ Several of Apple's official iPad keyboards went on sale for Cyber Monday, and they're incredible deals compared to what they typically cost. However, as nice as they are, Logitech has one that's at least around the same level as Apple's for a lot cheaper. And to make it even better, it's discounted by $30, making the price difference between this and the first-party model even larger.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 03:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/logitech-ipad-keyboard-folio-cyber-monday-deal/ It’s that time of year when the debate of whether it’s acceptable to play holiday music before Thanksgiving rages on has subsided and Mariah Carey is on full blast. While I personally believe you can wait to blast your favorite holiday tunes, one thing I look forward to every year is shopping for holiday gifts - especially with great early Black Friday savings. Along with purchasing big-ticket items, it's also fun to pick up smaller stocking stuffers, gag gifts for present exchanges, holiday parties, or grab bags.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 01:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-tech-gifts-10-or-under/ Cyber Monday is already going for online retailers, and Walmart just unleashed a wave of massive deals you will want. We're talking about the kind of big-ticket items you usually see on Black Friday. If you waited and missed out on the TV, headphones, or other awesome tech item of your dreams, you get another chance thanks to the magic of Cyber Monday.

]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2023 01:00:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/walmart-cyber-monday-deals-are-here/ Apple products are seeing all kinds of great deals for Cyber Monday. We've steep discounts on all of the popular devices like iPad and MacBook. However, the incredible deal few are talking about is the Mac mini. Currently, Best Buy has two Mac mini models on sale for $100 off the regular price. Whether you want the 128GB or 256GB versions, you get the speed and performance offered by Apple's M2 chip at a nice discount.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 23:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-mac-mini-cyber-monday-100-off/ The holiday season is right around the corner and there's no reason why you can't get some holiday shopping done early. Stocking stuffers in particular are pretty tough gifts to find. You don't want to spend an arm and a leg on something super expensive, but you also don't want to gift something that'll break in two months or that the other person won't like.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 23:00:21 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-gifts-under-30/ The Pixel 8 Pro is a game-changing device and, thanks to a Cyber Monday discount, you can save yourself $200 at the checkout. That's an impressive offer for a phone that only launched in October - but seriously, it's one of the best Cyber Monday phone deals you should be looking at. Normally retailing for $999, the discount brings it down to $799, the price of some mid-range phones.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 22:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/pixel-8-pro-black-friday-phone-deal/ Black Friday came and went, and I wrote about many deals on products I already owned. As such, I didn't buy much, but one deal I did take advantage of was a new case for my iPhone 14 Pro Max. There are a lot of cases out there for iPhone, but the ESR for iPhone 14 Pro Max case caught my eye with its $23 price tag (it usually sells for $36, so it's a sizable discount).

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 22:01:02 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/black-friday-cyber-monday-esr-iphone-case-deal/ Following Black Friday and making our way into Cyber Monday we're well into the holiday deals dash, which means a lot of folks are thinking about shopping for gifts. Apple's venerable iPad is a common gift every year. It's a little expensive, but highly functional, and lots of people want to own one. We're also big fans of the latest Apple iPad.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 20:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/should-you-buy-an-ipad-on-cyber-monday/ Lightweight and compact, it's hard to believe the now $120 tablet can hold up to two million titles, boast a waterproof rating, and last for weeks on a single charge. The Kindle Paperwhite, picked as our choice for the best Kindle overall, lets you read in the dark, has plenty of storage, and is all together just a wonderful tablet on sale this holiday season.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 19:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/black-friday-kindle-deals/ Black Friday and Cyber Monday is here, and it's the perfect time to snag fantastic deals on the Toniebox and its adorable Tonie characters.

There are great savings on iPads and Apple Watch models, with the iPad (10th generation) and the Apple Watch Series 9 both highly recommended on our must buy list. There is something else you should be adding to your basket if you are planning to buy the Apple iPad (10th generation) or you already have it however, and that's the Magic Keyboard Folio. It currently has an incredible deal on it for Black Friday and Cyber Monday with $86 off, putting it at $163 instead of $249.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 04:27:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-magic-keyboard-folio-black-friday-deal/ If you have a car with wired Apple CarPlay, you know how excellent the system is for controlling your music, podcasts, and navigation. You also probably know how much of a pain it is plugging in your phone every single time you sit down in the car. That's where a device like the Ottocast U2-Air comes in, as it takes your standard wired CarPlay and makes it wireless. You jump in the car and let it connect to Bluetooth automatically; it's that easy.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 04:11:08 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-wireless-apple-carplay-adapter-nearly-half-off-black-friday/ Cyber Monday is one of the best times of year to get a new computer monitor.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 02:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/cyber-monday-monitor-deals-live-right-now-you-dont-want-to-miss/ Black Friday might be wrapping up, but the next shopping event is already underway, with Cyber Monday spinning up. Amazon offers its most popular iPhone 15 USB-C charger at a significant discount. And you don't get just one charger, but you get a second one and two cables for just over $14.

]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2023 01:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-selling-iphone-15-charger-20-off-for-cyber-monday/ This Black Friday was rife with deals on Apple iPad models. If you managed to grab one, congratulations are certainly in order. But no iPad experience is complete without Apple's amazing Apple's Magic Keyboard Folio. It turns the iPad from a useful tablet into a productivity powerhouse that can replace a laptop for many tasks.

]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2023 22:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-ipad-magic-keyboard-black-friday-cyber-monday-deal/ If you're looking for a powerful gaming laptop to play on the go (with a full keyboard, unlike a Steam Deck or another such device), you'll love these Razer Blade 15 deals from Amazon. These laptops have specs to make even the most dedicated PC gamers drool. They pack high-end mobile GPUs, tons of RAM, and enough storage space to keep every digital game you've ever purchased downloaded. Throw in the 15-inch screen, and you have laptops that will make any gamer happy.

And while everyone is talking about the incredible deals available on Apple's beloved iPad models, you don't want to let the Pixel Tablet slip under your radar. Currently, both Amazon and Best Buy offer $100 off the tablet and its nifty speaker doc. This is the all-time low price ever offered for this relatively new tablet, which our review said brought "a good experience compared to much of the rest of the Android tablet market."

]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2023 19:36:39 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/google-pixel-tablet-black-friday-cyber-monday-deal/ When Pocket-lint's Rob Webb got to review this little device from AAwireless, he gave five solid reasons why it rocks. And with a 30% discount on Black Friday, the reasons to buy it just keep mounting. Of course, quality technology like this isn't exactly cheap, which is why the dip from $80 to $56 is such a win. If your car doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity, this is the solution.

]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2023 04:29:10 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/android-auto-adapter-black-friday-deal/ Bigger isn't always better, but bigger certainly can be more enjoyable when it comes to watching movies and other content. That's where a great projector comes into play, as you can watch your favorite stuff at sizes up to 500 inches. If you could even get a TV that massive, it would cost more than your house, but these projectors won't break the bank nearly that much. In fact, with these deals from Best Buy, you can get a really good projector for as little as $100.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 22:31:01 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/black-friday-projector-deals/ After weeks of early access sales and discounts, Black Friday is officially here and retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are discounting big-ticket tech items, and with its hardware being some of the most desirable on the market. Apple, a company almost synonmous with the tech industry also has Black Friday plans. Starting today, November 24th, Apple is offering customers an Apple Gift Card worth up to $200 for purchasing a full-price item from the Apple Store.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 21:00:21 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/dont-fall-for-apples-black-friday-deals-get-your-apple-discounts-elsewhere/ Black Friday is here, and the deals are pouring in from every corner of the web. Today, we will look at five products that we're particularly fond of that have reached prices that are too good to ignore. Whether you want a nice pair of headphones or the luxury of ditching crossed wires in your car's console, there's a deal available for you on this list.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 19:57:48 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/black-friday-brings-prices-that-will-make-you-want-to-buy-these-5-things/ I reviewed the 16-inch Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro when it launched early this year, and it's safe to say I was impressed. This laptop has an astonishingly slim chassis, and despite its size and thinness, it feels rigid and solid throughout - which is not something I can say about all 16-inch ultraportables.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 17:45:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung-galaxy-book-3-pro-black-friday-deal/ Apple's iPad (10th generation) is an excellent everyday iPad. It delivers everything the majority will need from a tablet and while there are more powerful options in the iPad portfolio, if you're after an iPad for browsing, watching content and dabbling in the odd bit of work, the iPad (10th generation) is superb.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 17:30:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-magic-keyboard-folio-review/ There are a lot of tablets available right now, with the iPad being the first model most people think of. Samsung also makes some incredible slates, including the massive Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. This tablet will take your productivity to the next level through smooth multitasking thanks to the giant 14.6-inch display and Samsung DeX.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 17:15:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-ultra-black-friday-deal/ There are some superb Black Friday deals out there at the moment, and on devices that rarely get discounted throughout the year too. Black Friday is usually an excellent time to buy Apple products with Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart all offering decent discounts. This year, the deals have been particularly good on Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad and MacBooks, as well as their accessories. If you're in the market for a new MacBook, now really is the time to buy one and when I say now, I really do mean right now. My favorite laptop - the one I use day-in-day-out and the one that never lets me down - has $250 off on Best Buy for Black Friday in a deal that really shouldn't be missed.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 14:15:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/macbook-air-black-friday-deal/ Black Friday is here and that means there's the chance to save some serious cash through Black Friday deals - and Best Buy is offering some of the lowest prices you'll find. There are discounts across a full selection of devices, but it's those big-ticket items, like a new laptop, that we're really interested in.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 14:00:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-buy-black-friday-macbook-deals/ Apple announced the 10th generation of the standard iPad in the middle of October 2022. The tablet sits above the 9th generation model - which remains the entry-level model - but below the iPad Air, and while it didn't get an all-singing, all-dancing event for its reveal at the time, it deserved to.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 13:00:22 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-ipad-10th-generation-review/ Take a look at any of our 'Best mid-range phone' lists from the past few years, and you'll generally find a Samsung Galaxy A50-series smartphone on there. For 2023, that phone is the Galaxy A54, and it delivers many of the features you'd find in its Galaxy S-series flagship phones, but with a few changes made to save costs and make it cheaper to buy.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 13:00:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung-galaxy-a54-black-friday-deal/ Google has recently attempted to move Chromebooks a little more upmarket with its Chromebook Plus initiative, which specifies the use of Intel or AMD processors that provide greater performance than previous generations of Chromebooks.

]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 12:31:41 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/lenovo-ideapad-duet-3-review/ Black Friday is a great time to save not just on big-ticket tech items like phones, iPads, and TVs, but also shop for people who claim they "don't need or want anything" for the holiday season. As someone who spends most of the day staring at a screen and has long suffered from more sinus issues than one thought imaginable, I'm no stranger to headaches. And while Advil is usually my first line of defense, this gadget, albeit a tad gimmicky, relieves a lot of that pressure and forces me to shut my eyes and do what I should probably do a lot more of...simply relax.

]]> Thu, 23 Nov 2023 21:35:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/it-may-be-a-bit-weird-but-i-absolutely-love-this-gadget-and-its-currently-80-off-for-black-friday/ The iPhone has changed a lot since it first launched in 2007, but that doesn't mean it's easy to tell one iPhone from another. Those of you who don't pay super close attention to every Apple event won't be able to see the nuanced differences between the many different iPhone models that have debuted since 2007. If you're talking about the original iPhone compared to the current model, then the differences are obvious of course, but if you're talking about the iPhone 12 models compared to the iPhone 15 models, it's not as easy to distinguish between them unless you are an iPhone superfan (or a technology journalist).

]]> Thu, 23 Nov 2023 20:16:17 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/what-iphone-do-i-have/ Black Friday and Cyber Monday come at a perfect time in terms of Christmas shopping - if you're organised anyway. For those that know what they are looking for, you can save a fortune each year by shopping during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales period. That's especially true if your wishlist - or someone else's wishlist that you are buying from - has Apple products on it. Apple itself doesn't offer discounts on its products and while some retailers do throughout the year, the savings are never as good as they are during the Black Friday period.

]]> Thu, 23 Nov 2023 17:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/6-black-friday-apple-deals-you-should-buy/ When Apple launched the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro in 2022, the phones were loaded with iOS 16 - but have since been upgraded to iOS 17 - the latest in a long line of software updates that delivered plenty of new features. While there are lots of big new features, it's often the hidden iPhone features - the ones that fly under the radar - that pique our interest.

]]> Thu, 23 Nov 2023 14:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-iphone-14-tips-and-tricks/ The Kindle is one of my favorite devices: designed just for reading, it's the perfect example of a bit of tech that's good for just one thing. Unlike smartphones and tablets that want to do everything, Kindle's sole focus on reading books is to its credit, making for a great experience. With Black Friday sales now underway, the Kindle Paperwhite - the best Kindle - gets a $20 discount, and I'm going to buy another.

]]> Thu, 23 Nov 2023 11:05:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/kindle-discounted-black-friday-deal/ Apple's iPad portfolio is excellent. All the models within the lineup have their own attributes, and they all have their place in the range, too. If you want a tablet for basic browsing and watching the odd flick, the iPad (9th generation) or iPad (10th generation) will serve you well. If you are looking for something with a bit more power, perhaps a tablet that you can dabble with a little work on, the iPad Air is the one you'll want. For those who need even more power and are planning to do more intensive tasks like video editing or drawing, one of the iPad Pro models should be in your basket.

]]> Thu, 23 Nov 2023 10:40:15 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-magic-keyboard-ipad-pro-and-ipad-air-review/ Spotlight search is one of the best features of macOS, but on your iPhone it may not be something that you really use that often. You should definitely start using it more however, because there are some really impressive features that can save you a lot of unnecessary tapping. One of those is the ability to find information about your favourite sports teams right from within Spotlight search, whether that's the latest scores and results or squad details and game highlights.

]]> Thu, 23 Nov 2023 09:30:17 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/this-iphone-search-hack-is-perfect-for-sports-fans-but-there-are-other-uses-too/ Every house needs a vacuum cleaner. People, by nature, produce dirt, grit, grime, and other nastiness that must be cleaned up. What every house doesn't need, though, is to pay full price for said vacuum. Currently, Walmart Black Friday deals include the Dyson V8 Origin+ Cordless Vacuum for $225, which is $195 off the regular price. That's a savings of almost half off, which makes this one of the best Black Friday deals we've seen.

]]> Wed, 22 Nov 2023 22:35:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/dyson-v8-origin-plus-walmart-black-friday-deal/ Amazon's Fire tablets are ubiquitous at this point. The company countered Apple's iPad by creating a more budget-oriented portable device that were just powerful enough to do what people usually do with tablets, like stream media, surf the web and play games, without all of the fancy hardware that runs up the price. Over multiple generations, the Fire line has become increasingly more attractive, and the Fire HD Plus is one of the best yet. And now you can get one for a whopping 47 per cent off.

]]> Wed, 22 Nov 2023 18:15:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/amazon-fire-hd-10-tablet-deal/ We're deep into what has become an entire week of Black Friday. While deals on various products are available, including plenty of discounted smartphones like the Pixel 7a, we found a deal that gets you an iPhone 15 Pro for as little as $0. All you need is your current phone as a trade-in, and you can get an iPhone 15 Pro without spending a penny on Verizon or AT&T. Some of these promotions apply to new and existing customers looking to upgrade. In contrast, others are exclusive to new customers.

]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 19:58:45 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/you-can-get-an-iphone-15-pro-for-free-this-black-friday-heres-how/ Amazon's Fire HD 10 tablet has been a stalwart of affordable tablets over the years. Offering a large display and great resolution, it makes an ideal tablet for entertainment. For many years it was the largest tablet that Amazon offered, but now sits under the flagship Fire 11 Max tablet. However, the Fire HD 10 remains a great choice of tablet and mostly because of that attractive display size, which is great for entertainment.

]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 17:00:22 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/amazon-fire-hd-10-2023-vs-fire-hd-10-2021/ As soon as a new iPhone is released, rumours start about what the next device will be like. Now that the iPhone 15 series is out in the wild, speculation about the iPhone 16 has only increased. There are plenty of rumours about the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models, and there may even be a new, even more expensive iPhone 16 Ultra on the cards. But what about the standard iPhone 16 models? What will they be like, what new features will they have, and how much will they cost? Here are all the key iPhone 16 and 16 Plus rumours we've heard so far and our interpretation of what we'll see.

]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 16:02:22 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/iphone-16-and-16-plus-specs-details/ HP's Envy x360 line has been shipping around the world for almost a decade. Launched back in 2014, the laptop series keeps people coming back for more thanks to its somewhat sleek design, robust performance and the added bonus of a convertible tablet mode - all while having an affordable price point.

]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 12:34:09 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/hp-envy-x360-156-2023-review/ When it comes to laptops the idea of Apple adding a touchscreen has so far proven to be a wild one, but rumours of a change of heart inside Apple are starting to pick up speed. Having previously said that touching a laptop display would be a terrible experience, it's now thought that Apple is indeed planning to bring a touchscreen to a future MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.

]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 12:23:56 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/future-macbooks-could-get-touchscreens-heres-when-one-leaker-says-itll-happen/ The Amazon Kindle was first launched in 2007 and the thing that was novel about it (excuse the pun) was the E Ink display. This set the Kindle apart from other screen devices, which used LCD instead. There were two major reasons Amazon opted to use E Ink for the Kindle: firstly, it's extremely low power, so the battery lasts for weeks or months, rather than hours; secondly, it's a closer representation of paper than LCD, LED or OLED displays that are more common on tablets or phones.

]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 10:00:16 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/should-i-get-a-kindle-how-to-stop-the-display-flashing/ A new Apple device is almost always a source of great excitement, especially among Apple fans. Sometimes, however, the announcement may not be a new iPhone or a new iPad but rather something that enhances those devices and perhaps, therefore, not met with quite the same levels of hysteria. That could probably be said for the announcement of the new Apple Pencil, but before you disregard it as a boring announcement, there are some reasons to get excited. Most notably, if you've wanted an Apple Pencil but have been put off by the price tag, the new Apple Pencil (USB-C) is the most affordable Apple Pencil to date.

]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 00:00:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apple-pencil-usb-c-vs-apple-pencil-2nd-generation-differences-compared/ If you have an account online somewhere that's only being protected by a password, no matter how good it is, it just isn't enough in this day and age. That makes how you handle two-factor authentication more important than ever.

]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2023 20:23:08 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/how-do-hardware-security-keys-work/ When it comes to flagship phone launches you might be forgiven for thinking that 2023 is set to fizzle out before we get to 2024 and everything starts all over again. But you'd be wrong because the OnePlus 12 is about to be announced and it's going to arrive more than a month before Samsung's own flagship models.

]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2023 14:20:07 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/the-oneplus-12s-launch-date-has-been-confirmed-and-its-soon/ It's safe to say that 2023 was the year that foldable phones finally hit the big time. Thanks to more phones hitting the market to challenge the might of Samsung, arguably the most important folding smartphone of 2023 was the Razr 2023 from Motorola. It was the first time a manufacturer had launched what could be considered an 'affordable' foldable phone, and - despite still being very new - the Razr 2023 is even cheaper still in the Black Friday sales.

]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2023 13:41:21 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/moto-razr-2023-black-friday-deal/ As is typical with Samsung when new versions of Android come along, it has put its own spin on things with One UI 6.0 based on Android 14. One of the big new features is the new lock screen customisation options. In this guide, we'll show you what your options are and how to make the most of them.

]]> Sat, 18 Nov 2023 10:00:21 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung-one-ui-6-lock-screen-customisation/ When Amazon launched the Kindle, it probably had no idea Kindle would become the ebook reader. Sure, there are others ereaders out there, but the Kindle in its many forms offers an experience you just don't get from other devices. That's why it's spectacularly popular, with its long battery life, illuminated display and, in some cases, waterproofing.

]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2023 23:01:21 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-kindle-device/ Let's get right the crux of the situation: you're on Amazon, eBay, or your chosen e-retailer, and you just saw a microSD card with vast storage for an insanely low Black Friday price. Chances are, if the price looks too good to be true, it is - especially if it's a no-name microSD card - and you shouldn't be fooled into buying one (even if it costs next to nothing). Here's why.

]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2023 21:01:22 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/dont-buy-a-no-name-microsd-card-on-black-friday/ There is no phone that turns heads quite like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. In 2023, Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which is more eye-catching than ever thanks to the large external display that brings upgrades to both the handset's look and functionality.

]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2023 18:30:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/samsung-z-flip-5-lowest-price-ever/ Lenovo makes some amazing computers and tablets and is renowned for its laptops, which rank amongst the best in the world. The best Lenovo laptops offer excellent build quality and are trusted by elite business people, competitive gamers and other demanding users requiring top-tier performance and functionality for daily use.

]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2023 17:15:20 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-lenovo-laptop/ It's that time of year again when Black Friday sales are almost in full swing. We still have another week until the official day is upon us, sure, but a huge number of deals have already landed, especially when it comes to Apple's iPads. This early Black Friday deal sees my favorite iPad at its lowest ever price so I'm very much planning on buying another one for a Christmas present (I know, I'm very nice like that).

]]> Fri, 17 Nov 2023 16:31:24 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/apples-whole-ipad-lineup-is-discounted-for-black-friday-and-this-is-the-one-i-would-buy/ Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, may not officially be here yet, but Best Buy deals are here right now. Starting today, the company is offering huge discounts on tech items including Apple products, gaming hardware, and more.
