Welcome to the Week in Review
Welcome
This liminal space between Samsung’s Unpacked event and Apple’s hugely anticipated iPhone launch is typically a quieter time in the tech announcement space – but that apparent.  silence can be misleading.

This week, Apple’s iPhone 15 plans and a potential launch date are coming into focus, and we’ve been digging deeper into some of the big changes coming with iOS 17 (would you like the phone to speak with your voice?). Plus, the other shoe (or shoes) has dropped since Samsung’s South Korea event, and we've published our full and in-depth reviews of virtually all the new products, including foldables, tablets and a watch that can see deep inside you.

Even as people dash off for a late summer holiday, there were developments in Windows 11, and Intel’s next big AI move, while more streamers are planning to stop you sharing passwords. Before you pack your bags and take off, let’s walk through this surprisingly busy week in tech.

Until next week,
