Welcome to the Week in Review
Week in review
Like Christmas and Black Friday, the TechRadar Choice Awards only come once a year, but are well worth waiting for. Our annual tech jamboree celebrates the best devices and services of the past 12 months, from phones to wearables, cameras to streaming services and all points in-between. This year’s selection is a veritable feast of brilliant products – 74 of them in total! - and you can read about them all below.

Of course Apple launches don’t just come once a year, and indeed we have another one taking place on Monday. After WWDC in June and the iPhone 15 event in September, this one is expected to focus instead on new MacBooks and the rumored M3 chip. Will those MacBooks be good enough to make it into our Awards next year? Only time will tell...

Until next week,
