I have been a huge Sonos fan and customer for years, dating back to the original Sonos One. So, about two years ago, when I heard that Sonos was entering the over-ear headphone market, I knew I had to give it a try. The Sonos Ace looked great, was very comfortable, and brought some cool Sonos ecosystem features. But for a premium pair of headphones, there were still a few areas that left me wanting more, like strong bass, better ANC, and a better app experience. But now, the new Sonos Ace Ultra feels like they went down that list and addressed nearly every complaint that most customers had, including me. I have been using them as my main headphones for almost a month now, for travel, video editing, workouts, walks, and everyday listening. So I have a good grasp on them now, and here is what you need to know.

After taking a series of portrait photos to test the wider aperture of the iPhone 18 Pro, my original plan had been to hang around until it was dark in order to see whether letting in more light would reduce the duration of Night mode photos.
I ended up postponing that test because something more interesting was going on: the extremely rare sight of a cruise liner passing through Tower Bridge. That provided the perfect opportunity to test the night video capabilities of the new device …

Alongside a variable aperture lens, the main camera of the iPhone 18 Pro also opens up to a wider aperture than its predecessors. Apple has been promoting this as enabling a shallower depth of field for portraits and similar shots.
The difference, however, is less than a stop, and it’s been unclear how much real life difference this would make on such a small sensor, so I set out to put it to the test …

Do you remember the first time you backed out of the driveway on your own? It was pure freedom. For your parents? It was probably one of the most terrifying times of their life. When you were a teenager, your parents had no way to know how fast you were driving, when you arrived at your location, how safe you drove, etc. No news was good news, and hope was the only real tool available until you checked in with them.
If you have teenage drivers today, rejoice in the fact that the fear of the unknown your parents had is not the world you have to live in today. There’s a lot of negatives with 2026 technology, but HeyPolo is a clear example of where technology has made life better and safer for teenage drivers.

I’m in the middle of testing Dell’s 32-inch UltraSharp U3226Q, and my thoughts so far are extremely positive. The picture quality of this OLED panel is impressive, especially when HDR is enabled in macOS. I’ll have a full hands-on review of the UltraSharp on our YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, I wanted to note a key improvement Apple introduced in macOS 27 regarding HDR support. A drawback of using an HDR-ready third-party monitor on macOS 26 Tahoe was the inability to activate High Dynamic Range at the common 2560 x 1440 scaled resolution. Fortunately, the newest macOS release resolves this problem.

One of the most famous and successful partnerships in the history of technology has been that of Steve Jobs and Jony Ive. When Tim Cook took over as CEO, he did not play the same role in working with Ive on hardware design – and that was the right decision.

Apple re-invented the idea of smartphone navigation with the outer display on iPhone Duo, and now it feels quite wrong that every smartphone puts things at the top.

AirPods are one of Apple’s most interesting products. The demand for them was largely invented by the fact that the company removed the headphone jack 10 years ago, and now most of us carry this almost magical pair of earbuds that do so much more than just play audio. AirPods offer best-in-class noise cancellation, and also serve as a hearing aid. They get better and better almost every year.
Despite everything that AirPods do so well, I have one annoyance with them, and it’s particularly annoying because it could be such an easy software fix.

I’m someone who doesn’t often upgrade my Apple Watch right when a new one comes out. The Apple Watch Series 10 I owned prior was only purchased this January, despite initially coming out in September 2024.
