Mobile industry is quietly preparing for the biggest change to your smartphone in a decade — iSIM will hasten the end of SIM cards and allow networks to preload plans on devices
The mobile industry is poised to undergo a significant transformation in the next two years, with the impending shift to integrated SIMs, or iSIMs, new research has claimed. A new study from Juniper Research predicts a huge increase in the global number of iSIMs installed in connected devices, jumping from 800,000 in 2024 to over 10 million by 2026. The release of GSMA's SGP.41/42 specifications, expected by the end of 2025 year, will drive the anticipated 1,200+ percent growth. These guidelines will standardize and streamline iSIM-enabled device rollout. Anticipated surge in connections An iSIM (also known as the iUICC - Integrated Universal Integrated Circuit...
Track and share your activities like an absolute boss with this free app
If there’s one thing common to humankind—a truth that unites us all—surely it’s the power of stories. We love the experience of getting so completely lost in a book or film that we don't notice the time flying by. The retelling of events that have happened to us or others taps into something fundamental about who we are. They enable us to explore and connect with something bigger than ourselves.And yet somehow, a story, whether lived or written, isn’t complete until it is shared. Recounting a story to a friend or family member helps cement it into our lived experience....
Pilates instructor recommends these 5 moves to undo the damage of sitting at a desk all day
How much time have you spent sitting down this week? Whether you’re hunched over one of the best laptops, kicking back on the couch, or driving, it’s the default position. But excessive sitting can have unwanted effects on your body. “Physiologically, there are many reasons that our joints and muscles might feel stiff and sore after prolonged periods of sitting,” explains Pilates instructor and Shape Pilates founder Gemma Folkard. “One of the major reasons for aches and pains is the actual position sitting puts us in.“The body is unbalanced, with the hip flexors and muscles in the front of the neck...
HiFi Walker H2 review: An MP3 player with wide-ranging file support but rough edges
HiFi Walker H2: Four-minute review The HiFi Walker H2 has carved out a very unique spot itself in the portable media players market. When it comes to MP3 players or digital audio players, the space between the super-cheap Amazon-flooding options and the super-premium bank-account-draining high-end best MP3 players is a no-man’s land. Into that desolate area strides the HiFi Walker H2, which is lovely and premium in some aspects and startlingly rough in others.HiFi Walker is a Hong Kong-based tech company that, according to its website, only seems to make four products: a bone conduction headphone, an MP3 player carry case,...
Brother MFC-L8395CDW (MFC-L8390CDW) review
The Brother Workhorse MFC-L8395CDW (Brother MFC-L8390CDW in Europe) is a feature-packed four-in-one aimed at a busy home office or small workgroup, though it can be expanded to serve a pretty large shared office. It’s an LED printer, which is to say that it uses an LED array to guide the toner particles onto the drums rather than a moving laser, but it still sits happily in our best laser printer category because in all other respects, the print technology is the same. We’ve tested many of the best small business printers, and being a business-oriented Workhorse model at the upper end...
iPad Pro 2024 teardown video reveals some of Apple's internal design changes
You can read through our iPad Pro 13-inch (2024) review to find out just how impressed we are with Apple's latest premium-level tablet – and a newly published teardown video reveals some of the under-the-hood design changes in this model.If you remember back to the launch of the device, Apple mentioned incorporating graphite sheets into its main housing, and using copper in the Apple logo to improve thermal performance over the previous 2022 model by nearly 20%.The new teardown video from Phone Repair Guru (via MacRumors) includes a close up look at those alterations, as well as showing the internal...
Adobe Fresco (2024) review
Adobe Fresco is a fun app for iPad and Microsoft Surface tablets. It’s all about simulating the real-world painting process - so expect to go to town on your digital canvas with the stylus as paintbrush. We’ve tried out a number of the best digital art and drawing software, and Adobe’s graphic design set has always impressed us. We liked Fresco last time we reviewed the painting app. But how does Adobe Fresco hold up in 2024? We wanted to find out. Adobe Fresco: Pricing & plans Free for a few brushes and some online storage, but it’s more than enough to...
Adobe Illustrator (2024) review
For those who don’t know this 37-year old piece of software, Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics editor and design program, and the fact it’s still around after all this time just shows how powerful, versatile, and ubiquitous it is. We explored version 27 around a year and a half ago - and we found it one of the best graphic design software we’ve tried. But a lot’s changed in the digital art world since then, so we put the 2024’s version 28 to the test. Adobe Illustrator: Pricing & plans If you know Adobe, you know you can only subscribe...
Adobe InCopy (2024) review
When you think of Adobe, you’re likely imagining high end professional creative apps, be they image compositing, video editing, desktop publishing, and more besides, but would ‘word processing’ spring to mind? And yet, there is one available, which integrates perfectly with what we consider the best desktop publishing software going: Adobe InCopy. With it, writers and editors are able to style text, track changes and make simple layout alterations, while at the same time, designers seamlessly work on the same document in InDesign. Sounds cool, right? We tried it out to see how it helps the design workflow. And you can see...
Adobe InDesign (2024) review
If you’re a page layout designer, magazine-maker, or print artist, you’ll be very familiar with Adobe InDesign - a page layout tool that stole the best DTP software crown from QuarkXpress many decades ago, and never looked back. Since then, it’s become an industry-standard for digital design, and Adobe has maintained a steady stream of updates. We were impressed with InDesign when we last reviewed the software - and we wanted to know how the DTP app compares in 2024. Adobe InDesign: Pricing & plans As with any other Adobe product, you can only rent it, but you do have a few options...
I was shocked at just how easy and delicious air fryer sesame chicken is
I've tried to make many so-called 'fakeaways' in the past; meals that promise to rival the dishes you get from a takeout. Some have failed miserably, but others – like this air fryer sesame chicken recipe – are almost identical in terms of taste and texture. My assumption, and the reason I hadn't attempted this recipe before is because I thought it would be difficult and time-consuming to get right. I couldn't have been more wrong. It's quick, easy and delicious.So much so I'd happily choose to make it at home rather than ordering it in. I'd go as far as...
Scientists have created an ultra resistant storage solution that can resist temperatures of 1100°F — shame that it will only be available in megabyte capacities for a foreseeable future
With summer nearly upon us, temperatures are beginning to rise in the northern hemisphere and most of us know what happens when our smartphones, and other portable electronics, overheat. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have unveiled an ultra-resistant memory device able to endure extreme temperatures, a development that bodes well not only for smartphones, but for AI devices running in harsh conditions. A recently published study in the journal Nature Electronics from Deep Jariwala and Roy Olsson of the University of Pennsylvania, along with their engineering teams, demonstrates a memory technology capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 1,100°F. These high...
I saw a Dolby Atmos home theater room using a reference Bowers & Wilkins system and it was mind-blowing
AWE is a distributor that works with some of the most acclaimed AV and hi-fi brands including Bowers & Wilkins, Sony, Panasonic, Marantz and Denon. One area of specialty for the company is custom install equipment such as ceiling and in-wall speakers, subwoofers and big, cinema-style screens.I recently visited AWE’s office and got to experience what home theater truly can be - if you have the space and the money. I was able to experience not one, but two home theater setups that focused on sound quality and discreet design using in-wall and in-ceiling speakers to make it feel like a...
Formlabs Form 4 review
Formlabs has earned a reputation as the go-to machine for businesses needing a cost-effective and reliable 3D printer for a wide array of applications, from prototyping to medical and mechanical uses. The vast selection of specialist materials and a high-quality ecosystem that includes wash and cure machines as well as a finishing station make this one of the most complete and user-friendly options on the market. Form 3+ and Form 4 occupy a niche with few direct competitors; many professional-level machines cost tens of thousands of dollars, while the best 3D printers at cheaper end of the market is great for...
Creality K1C review
The Creality K1C is the latest printer from Creality's fully enclosed K 3D printer line. Once again, the style of the machine reflects the rest of the line with a high-quality, rigid frame and a tinted transparent part-glass enclosure that keeps the inner chamber heated for specialist materials.The K1C boosts the abilities of both the K1 and K1 Max with a few additional features over both machines. While the size and mechanical specifications of the K1 and K1C are essentially the same, some of the more advanced features, such as the AI camera, have filtered down from the larger machine.Interestingly,...
Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro review
The Anycubic Photon Mono M5s Pro is one of the highest-resolution resin printers available, with a 14k screen enabling a resolution of 13,312 x 5,120px over the 10.1-inch screen. This resolution should translate to incredible quality prints that will leave the competition in its wake. The overall design is very AnyCubic, as the company often opts for pure functionality over design aesthetics. Indeed, the machine itself reflects the Mono machines that have come before, but inside, the technology has taken a huge step forward. The high-resolution screen is the big hitter when it comes to features, but there are also the...
Qidi Tech Q1 Pro 3D Printer review
The Qidi Tech Q1 Pro 3D Printer is the first from the company that we've reviewed, so we're evaluating it with fresh eyes. We can only compare it against the best 3D printers we tested, not any previous releases from the company. Initial online impressions of the design, featuring a full enclosure and touch screen, are positive, and the specifications suggest a very promising machine.When the box arrives and the machine is unwrapped, it looks quite nice and true to the marketing images. Unfortunately, the quality of the casing materials is not as high as the design initially suggests. A closer inspection reveals that...
I tested the OnePlus Watch 2's GPS tracking against Garmin's best watch: here's how it stacked up
The OnePlus Watch 2 is undoubtedly a fantastic Wear OS watch. Not only does it look pretty good and arrive full of features, but OnePlus managed a feat that not even Google or Mobvoi – both with Wear OS models in our best smartwatches list – could pull off: it got a Wear OS watch to deliver a 100-hour battery life. We welcomed the battery life, bevy of features, and stainless steel finish of the watch in our OnePlus Watch 2 review, awarding it a superb 4.5 stars. However, I also had the opportunity to personally test the OnePlus Watch 2...
