There are a lot of titles where the gaming experience is unparalleled with a gaming controller. Surely, there are instances where a mouse excels but the multi-tasking of a controller is what makes it stand out. Thankfully, there are plenty of controllers available to choose from and this goes for most price ranges. The majority of gamers usually settle for a cheap one, which is why companies like Gamesir have introduced their brand new budget T7 Xbox wired controller.

Apple might not have focused too much attention on introducing a major redesign to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but what it did meticulously was address various concerns that users experienced with the iPhone 15 series from last year and incorporated a multitude of upgrades. In short, we got a flagship that is slightly bigger than its direct predecessor, and surprisingly, according to the latest estimate, the ‘Bill Of Materials’ reveals that Apple’s top-end model costs just $32 more to make. Obviously, other costs are incurred, but for now, we will stick with the price of the components found inside […]
Apple has heavily marketed its iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max as highly capable mobile gaming devices thanks to the inclusion of the A18 Pro. The chipset’s 6-core GPU is said to be faster than the A17 Pro, with the company claiming that the SoC can deliver 200 percent quicker hardware-accelerated ray tracing than its predecessor. Surely, that means we should witness a framerate boost in AAA games, too, right? Not quite, and while it is possible to fire up games like Alien Isolation natively, the experience is different than the performance metrics you are used to seeing […]
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models come with a wide range of changes on the outside as well as on the inside and it appears that the company has paid a lot of attention on repairability this time around. The batteries, specifically, are quite easier to repair with one test showing that it only takes under 90 seconds to replace the battery on the iPhone 16. However, the Ceramic Shield glass on the front and black is not prone to breaking, despite the fact that the devices come with Apple's second-generation technology. A new drop test reveals that […]
Apple launched the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models earlier this month,, and while the devices have been received pretty well overall, there are some improvements that the company needs to work on for next year. The cameras specifically were upgraded this year on the standard as well as the 'Pro' models, but they still ranked behind a lot of Android smartphone manufacturers in new tests. DxOMark's ranking suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro Max took the fourth spot in overall camera results. Apple takes the fourth spot with the iPhone 16 Pro Max in DxOMark's Camera Test DxOMark […]
The iPhone 16 series was released worldwide on September 20, and even though Apple did not bring a radical design shift to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, it has incorporated various internal changes that have addressed the complaints present in last year’s models. One area where the company maintains a solid consistency is build quality, as you will find out soon in the latest durability test, where the top-end iPhone 16 Pro Max barely flexes an inch when stressed from both sides. It is definitely an improvement over the M4 iPad Pro lineup, with Apple’s 11-inch and […]
Apple will officially launch the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the remaining models on September 20, but some lucky individuals have received the top-end flagship before, and judging by their curiosity, we got a first look at the cell powering the innards. As previous leaks suggested, the battery is covered by a steel enclosure, making it the first time the company has followed this approach. For those who do not know, it will significantly improve heat transfer. iPhone 16 Pro Max battery shares the same design as the iPhone 16 Pro prototype’s cell that was leaked months before the official […]
The initial wave of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max reviews is here, and as you would expect, nearly all publications and content creators have flat-out said that the design remains pretty much the same compared to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Thankfully, Apple has banked on making minor improvements to the new flagship models, addressing the numerous grievances that customers had to endure last year. The video reviews are given below if your preference is to skip the text-based ones, but if you do plan on upgrading this year, it is imperative […]
Samsung is said to bring more subtle changes to its Galaxy S25 Ultra than just introducing rounded corners that will replace the sharp edges of its previous-generation flagship models, starting with the rear camera lens. A tipster has compared the Korean giant’s upcoming top-end model with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, revealing a mammoth difference between the two smartphones’ camera bump and lenses. For those wondering, there are benefits to using a thinner lens, along with some drawbacks, which we will discuss here. A larger camera lens might be intentionally used for the iPhone 16 Pro Max to accommodate a better […]
Apple undoubtedly packed bigger batteries inside the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max because both flagships now have a higher runtime than their direct predecessors, with the top-end model now lasting for 33 hours during video playback, making it four hours more than the iPhone 15 Pro Max. While these upgrades will be well-received by customers, a downside to all of this is that battery replacements have become more expensive, as Apple will now charge $119.9 per cell swap, assuming those procedures will be done out of warranty. iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus customers have to pay slightly less […]
