Update 21 September 2015: With the iPhone 6S Plus about to go on sale, we’ve updated this review to explain the new price, storage and colour options, along with how the 6 Plus rates today, as opposed to a year ago when it launched. iPhone 6 Plus review: Design and size – living with a 5.5in phablet Compared to the angled and almost industrial design of the iPhone 4 and 5, the iPhone 6 Plus makes something of a return to the original iPhone with curved sides....

On the face of it both the Apple TV and Chromecast do largely the same thing, and this is stream video and audio content straight to your TV. However, there are significant differences on how the two streamers go about doing this. Keep reading and we’ll cover all of this for you. See also Google Chromecast review. Apple TV vs Chromecast comparison review: price and steaming services Perhaps the biggest difference here is the price of the two steamers....

For Series 2, jump straight to: Release date Prices and models Live stream New features If you’re interested in the new Series 1, jump straight to the Series 1 price, release date and specs details Apple Watch launch in brief So, Apple did in fact launch two new Apple Watches. The rumours were – surprisingly – true. The new Apple Watch is called the Series 2, and it will start from £369 but it’s waterproof, faster and has a brighter screen and built-in GPS....

Unlike the Apple Watch, Sony’s SmartWatch 3 wearable actually exists. But Apple’s Watch will be a customisable smartwatch designed to work only with recent iPhones that is also a comprehensive health- and fitness device. So on the one hand we have a high-spec smartwatch limited to use with Apple smartphones, and the other an Android Wear smartwatch that should pair with all smartphones. We know a lot about the Sony Smartwatch 3, and next to nothing about the Apple Watch....

The AC68U supports 600Mbit/s 802.11n speeds thanks to Broadcom’s TurboQAM feature, but it’s unlikely you’ll see the benefits, since without a TurboQAM-compliant adaptor in your client PC, of which there are very few on the market, you’ll be limited to the usual 450Mbit/s. It could be a good feature for future-proofing if laptops start to favour adaptors with TurboQAM support, but many have Intel radios. There’s a single USB 3....

That’s not to say you can combine the two though – the latest notebook graphic processors are fast but not quite capable of playing action games at UHD resolution without struggling. In our tests the G501JW could average 32fps in Batman: Arkham City at 3840 x 2160 with middling Normal detail – albeit with dips to 20fps that may prove troubling. Tomb Raider at the same settings averaged 27fps, also too close for comfort....

Asus VN247H monitor review: Build quality and Design The stand is a tilt-only affair (forward 5 degrees, backwards 20 degrees), made of textured plastic, which we think looks a lot better than glossy or a plain matt-finish. There’s no pivot or height adjustment, but you can replace it with your own VESA 100x100mm stand, which can be handy if you want to wall-mounts the monitor or use your own multi-monitor stands....

Familiar-sounding brand Asustor is unsurprisingly a venture for Taiwan computer maker Asustek – more popularly known as just Asus. Founded in 2011, the sub-brand’s stated purpose is to be at the forefront of private cloud storage innovation. Asustor is clearly looking to get a slice of the market opened up by its countrymen at first Synology and then QNAP. It’s focusing on the home and SOHO users, with some overlap to larger businesses looking for up to nine-bay rackmount storage....

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Basis has withdrawn the Basis Peak from sale and recalled all watches sold. It had been found that the watch can overheat, which could result in burns or blisters on the skin surface. “It is important that you stop using your watch immediately and return it,” says Basis.

The short version is that they’re boxes into which you put your phone and other small items that you carry around and touch a lot. The box’s contents are then exposed to UV-C light, which will break down any bacteria and viruses on their surfaces. Here are our thoughts on Belkin’s sanitising phone charger. Appearance & features Belkin’s sanitiser looks exactly the way you’d expect it to: it’s a matt white box with rounded corners and rubber feet....

It is also the first monitor in BenQ’s range to offer a unique feature that doesn’t easily compare with competitor products… yet. BenQ EW2770QZ: Price In the US, it costs around $449. If this is out of your budget, check out our list of the best monitors. BenQ EW2770QZ: Features and design Aesthetically BenQ succeeded in making this screen remarkably elegant in both the shaping of the case and the ‘T’ support foot....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds We can’t talk about Battle Royale games without giving a mention to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG as it’s better known....

Compared to those expensive drones which can cost hundreds of pounds, cheap ones tend not to have auto-hover, no automatic flying and only basic stabilisation from an on-board gyroscope. This means they’re harder to fly, but there are exceptions, such as the Ryze Tello. Another exception is the Micro Drone 4.0. You can find more details on the Micro Drone 4.0 Indiegogo page (but note that you cannot ‘buy’ one there – paying for a perk is simply adding to the crowdfunding project and doesn’t guarantee you will receive one)....

If you’re about to buy a graphics card, be sure to read our tips below, and you’ll spend your money wisely. What should I look for when buying a graphics card? The first thing to decide is what exactly you’re going to use your graphics card for. If you’re planning on playing games which aren’t graphically intensive (popular games like League of Legends, Dota 2, World of Warcraft and Fortnite don’t require an expensive graphics card) then you don’t need a top-end card ....

Our 4-star review of the Watch 2 called the device “a huge improvement over the first-generation Huawei Watch”, praising its sports & fitness credentials. “It’s the hardware that really sets the Watch 2 apart,” we added. “It boasts optional 4G connectivity, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, allowing for use without a connected smartphone.” The Huawei Watch 2 4G Sport Smartwatch, which normally retails at £316.63, is temporarily on sale for £182....

There are three new phones again this year, with a choice between regular, ‘Plus’ and ‘Ultra’ models. The range starts at a more affordable £769/US$799.99, despite Samsung ditching the 4G model in the UK. The S21 Ultra is also the first S-series phone to ever have S-Pen support, which could mark the beginning of the end for the Note line. However, it’s much thicker than the Note stylus, and doesn’t come built-in or with its own battery....

But, being an online-only game, Fallout 76’s inhabitants are open to griefers. For those unaware, griefers are gamers who cause problems for everyone else trying to have fun. They’ll constantly kill you, follow you around the map, destroy your base and generally make your digital life hell. Fortunately, Bethesda has something up its sleeve to combat those troublesome few. During NoClip’s Fallout 76 making-of documentary, Danny O’Dwyer revealed that troublemakers will be slapped with a wanted level....

Stick vacuum cleaners The stick vacuum cleaner, also known as a cordless upright, has a long handle and slim build. The stick was once the kind of near-novelty vac that would be kept in a cupboard and brought out occasionally to go over the car interior to less than stellar effect. However, battery life and suction power have improved substantially and if you have a bijou living space and are willing to pay for a high-quality model, it could be the only vacuum cleaner you need....
