One of the most common questions we get is: Is this a good time to buy an iPhone? There’s an easy answer, of course: If you need a new phone right now, then go ahead, we’re sure you’ll be happy with your purchase.

So, we know what you’re thinking: Is this a good time to buy an iPhone, or can I do better if I…
Hope you hadn’t already booked a flight to Romania (pic: Valve)While it will still go ahead, new Covid restrictions mean the Dota 2 International 2021 won’t be a live event anymore. After it was cancelled in 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, fans of Dota 2 were excited to see the Dota 2 International event return this year. What’s more, Valve intended for it to feature a live audience. However, it seems Valve may have jumped the gun a bit as it has now admitted the event can no longer be held live.

Over the past decade, there…

If you were hoping to snag some deals on coveted tech such as a PS5 or a new MacBook for Christmas in this year’s Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales, then it might be time for a harsh reality check. Silicon, an element present in almost every major tech product these days, is in short supply due to high demand and manufacturing issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. This has resulted in the cost of production increased by an alarming 300%, as reported by Bloomberg. Low silicon = low product stock for everything that uses it, which means this year’s sales…

In the USA and Asia, Apple’s Max models are a hit, but we suspect that in price-conscious UK many users shy away from Apple’s premium iPhone. After all, it’s not only heavy and big, for some Apple’s luxury iPhone may also seem a little too ostentatious.

Older users may also appreciate the bigger screen as…

As it stands, the only way to expand storage for the Xbox Series X/S is by purchasing a 1TB Seagate expansion card. Unfortunately, it’s pretty expensive and costs £220. Last month, a cheaper, albeit smaller, expansion card was spotted online and while it has yet to be officially announced, new information points to it releasing this Christmas period. This is according to Windows Central, which received an anonymous tip-off that promotional…

When a developer puts a game out, they hope for solid sales and happy players. But every once in a while, they get something more. Although the industry is heavily trend-driven, when a new idea breaks through, like the free-roaming sandbox chaos of Grand Theft Auto III or the one-against-all battle royale of PUBG, it’s a big deal. A decade ago, a quirky Japanese developer managed to pull it off in an unlikely way.Prior to Dark Souls, From Software already had a reputation. Its early PS1 adventure games like King’s Field were slow, obtuse, and extremely hard. Mech simulator Armored…
