Welcome to the Week in Review
Welcome
The dizzying pace of life in 2025 can be too much sometimes. Digital burnout is a thing, and many people are consciously trying to reduce their screen time and reconnect with the real world. 
 
We’re big fans of that approach, because while we all love tech here at TechRadar (it’s in the name, after all) we recognize that you can have too much of a good thing. So, with that in mind, we pulled together a suite of content for our annual Wellness Week. 
 
It’s all about getting a healthier body – and mind – through conscious use of tech; not switching off exactly, but using tech more mindfully. So, we’ll tell you about apps to help you cut down your screen time, recommend Netflix shows to improve your mindset, and even guide you towards better ways to walk. We've featured loads of genuinely great ideas, and you’ll find some choice picks from our week of content below below. 
 
OpenAI’s Sam Altman might have been eager for some screen-off time lately, given the negative response to ChatGPT’s new GPT-5 model. Things have improved a little this week, at least, with the company rolling out a few fixes that have addressed some of the complaints, and we have all the details about those too. 
 
You can also read the latest on the Pixel 10 line’s launch ahead of Google’s big event next week, our thoughts on how Apple Intelligence is shaping up in the latest iOS beta, and, of course, our suggestions for some great shows to stream this weekend.  
 
And breathe…
