I’ve had TechRadar’s corner of Future’s London office pretty much to myself for the past couple of days, as several of the team have decamped to Berlin for the IFA 2023 consumer tech extravaganza. The show covers pretty much every category of device and gadget, with a particular focus on TVs, audio, and smart home tech and appliances, and the team will be bringing you all the big announcements, along with hands-on first impressions of every new device they can get their, well, hands on.
From Berlin to Cupertino, California, and Apple confirmed this week that its next big launch event, at which we’re expecting to see the iPhone 15 series, the Apple Watch 9 and more, is happening on September 12. The rumor mill has, not surprisingly, gone into overdrive as the big day nears – will Apple really saddle users of the base-model iPhone 15 with a meager 60Hz display refresh rate?
It’s a busy old time, to the point where I’m wondering when I’m going to find the time to watch season 2 of Prime Video’s The Wheel of Time – don’t miss Tom Power’s verdict on the first three episodes below.
IFA is always one of the biggest tech showcases of the year, and the TechRadar team is in Berlin to bring you all the breaking news and big announcements. Expect plenty of new, cutting-edge consumer devices across TVs, audio, smart home and more.
After months of rumors, we now know that Apple's next event will be on September 12. We're expecting the iPhone 15 handsets, the Apple Watch 9, the Apple Watch Ultra 2, and maybe more – and the event invite could be hiding a few clues as to what we can expect.
Not long after Apple, Google announced a special launch event too, most likely for its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones (and we may well see the Pixel Watch 2 as well). Wednesday, October 4 is the big day, so you've got about a month to save up.
We've been waiting a long time for OLED televisions to really break through in terms of competitive prices and brightness levels – and now it seems as though the newer QD-OLED technology may be about to leapfrog over it to dominate the market.
TechRadar's senior entertainment reporter Tom Power has seen the first three episodes of season 2 of The Wheel of Time on Amazon Prime Video – you can now read his thoughts on how the season starts off, and it seems there's plenty of action in store.
