The upcoming iOS 17 might take a big step towards sideloading

Apple has opposed sideloading apps on its devices ever since the inception of the iPhone, but that may be changing soon. In fact, according to Mark Gurman, a renowned Apple analyst, the next iOS 17 will enable just that. But don't hold your breath, as this isn't confirmed just yet. The upcoming iOS 17 might just lay the grounds for sideloading in the future. Then again, the EU's new Digital Market Act is coming into effect in 2024 and requires companies to allow users to install apps from alternative sources, so there's a good chance the change is coming with iOS 17. And if Apple...

Huawei Watch Ultimate review

Introduction The Watch Ultimate arrived, claiming to be the best Huawei wearable yet. It comes with a 100-meter water rating, Exploration Mode for the outdoorsy types and an incredibly durable build. We spent nearly a month with a unit to test all its features, and here are our findings. The Watch Ultimate arrives in only one size - 1.5" or 48.5 mm in diagonal. It is priced close to the Apple Watch Ultra and the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro, but its user experience is unlike those two, so it will cater to a different audience.

Weekly poll results: the Motorola Edge 40 Pro is off to a strong start

Nearly half of the voters in last week’s poll are interested in the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, though a lot of them were holding off on making a final decision until the reviews came out. If you’re one of them, check out our review (including on video). Spoiler alert: it’s a great high-end phone, though the camera isn’t up to the standard of some of the more camera-oriented flagships out there. And while the Moto is cheaper than those, it’s not exactly cheap at €900/£800. Around 17% of voters felt that the price could stand to be a bit lower and the cost of Edge models does fall over time...

Flashback: Android makers tried to emulate the iPod touch, failed

Apple introduced the original iPhone in January 2007 and a few months later it leveraged the new all-touch interface to add a new branch to the iPod family tree. While the iPod touch was outsold by the iPhone, it was still highly successful – Apple celebrated 100 million units sold in mind 2013. Naturally, Android makers wanted to have their own iPod touch. In 2009 the Archos 5 Internet Tablet hit the scene. It was billed as a “PMP”, Portable Media Player, and it may have been the first of its kind to run Android (v1.6 Donut).

Samsung Galaxy A34 vs. Samsung Galaxy A54

Introduction Samsung has seen continued success with its Galaxy A lineup. The latest additions to the sprawling family are the Galaxy A34 and Galaxy A54.

Last month Huawei held an event where the Enjoy 60 was unveiled, alongside a couple of other devices. A fresh new leak now details another device from the same family. Seemingly a more premium one – the Enjoy 60X (STG-AL00). Thanks to some live photos of the unannounced phone, we can see that its design is only vaguely reminiscent of the Enjoy 60 with its large camera accent rings. However, unlike its sibling, the Enjoy 60X has one large circular camera island. If the text on it is to be believed, it houses two 50MP cameras. There is also a flash, and the fourth and last spot on the island...
