Week in Review: The top stories in phones, AI, cameras, and more

iPhone 16 questions answered, and every new iPhone reviewed. Plus: Google's amazing AI podcast tool Created for {EMAIL} | [Web Version]( September 20, 2024 CONNECT WITH TECH RADAR  [Facebook]( [X]( [Instagram]( [Youtube]( [Tech Radar]( [SIGN UP]( ⋅ [WEBSITE]( ADVERTISEMENT Welcome to the Week in Review [] Welcome The great thing about being a tech enthusiast is that Christmas comes several times a year, and today is one of those times. No, I’m not confused about what the date is – I’m talking about the arrival of new iPhones. The iPhone 16 series is officially on sale from today, and this week our Editor-at-Large Lance Ulanoff and US Managing Editor Jacob Krol have been busily writing their full reviews of all four models. You’ll find links to all of them below, and – spoiler – they’re largely positive. Lance describes the iPhone 16 Pro Max, for instance, as “a beautiful, intelligent beast” while Jacob labels the iPhone 16, slightly less effusively, “a worthwhile upgrade”. Like the look of the 16 but unsure which model to go for? We can help. Lance has also compiled a list of answers to the key questions would-be upgraders are asking him, and I’d suggest that it’s essential reading for anyone with an interest in Apple phones. We’ve got plenty else on offer if you’re not that way inclined. Android 15 is on the way soon, and we’ve got a list of the best new features to look forward to there. We’ve also got a review of the new DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and GoPro Hero 13 Black action cameras, plus a detailed look at how they compare, a round-up of the best new movies and TV shows to watch this weekend, and much, much more.
