SMARTPHONES 88

TIPS & TRICKS

• Swipe-typing makes writing messages much smoother: just run your finger over the keyboard letters.

• Haptic Touch means pressing longer instead of harder to enable shortcuts like taking a selfie.

• Dark Mode works with many third-party apps, so browsing Insta at night is now easier on the eyes.

Apple iPhone 11

from £729 / stuff.tv/iPhone11

You’re getting a really neat package with the iPhone 11 – and crucially, it’s not silly-expensive. The new Bionic A13 chip packs some serious power, the cameras are near-faultless for a smartphone and the battery will last all day. The lack of an OLED display could be an issue for some, but if you can bring yourself to get over that, it’s time to say hello to the new everyman iPhone… and start thinking about what colour you might opt for.

TABLETS

Apple iPad Pro

from £769 / stuff.tv/iPadPro

The iPad Pro isn’t cheap, but it’s a mobile powerhouse like no other, with a diverse and rich app ecosystem, tons of power, a gorgeous screen, and the kind of focus on creativity and productivity that just doesn’t exist on other tablets. If you just want to faff on Facebook or Netflix it’s massive overkill, so we’d recommend going for the iPad Air (from £479) instead; but even if you don’t actually need the new iPad Pro, you’re going to want one if you have it in your mitts for five minutes.
