Guides & tips

Apple's foldable iPhone has been 'coming soon' since 2017. This time the rumours look genuinely different — but here's every claim, clearly separated from fact, plus what you can buy right now instead of waiting.

Your phone is your camera, editing suite and publishing tool if you create content professionally. Here's how the current flagships actually compare for that job — and why a refurbished older Pro Max might get you 90% of the capability for half the price.

Choosing a first phone for your child is a different decision than choosing one for yourself. Here's how Apple, Samsung and Google actually compare for kids, why refurbished makes even more sense here than anywhere else, and which real model to buy by age and budget.

Four current Samsung flagships, from £580 to £860. The S25 Edge undercuts the entire S26 range on price — here's whether that actually makes it the smart buy.

Four current MacBooks, three different chips, and a price gap from £974.49 to £1,879.99. Here's which one actually matches what you'll use it for.

Apple's iPad range runs from £428.99 to £2,168.14 — a five-fold price gap for devices that all say 'iPad' on the box. Here's which one actually matches what you'll use it for.

Three brands, three very different strategies — Nokia keeps it simple and cheap, Motorola bets big on foldables, and OPPO chases flagship specs at a discount. Here is which one actually suits you.

Honor makes some of the best-value new phones on sale in the UK right now — from a £79 basics phone to a book-fold flagship under £1,200. Here is which model is actually worth buying.

Member-owned, carbon neutral, running on EE, and the rare broadband provider that does not raise prices mid-contract. Also not the cheapest option we list — here is when that trade is worth making.

Full fibre from £27.97 with eero mesh routers included and a tree planted for every month you stay. Strong value — but their own pages say there are no mid-contract price rises, and their checkout says otherwise.

Virgin Mobile is gone. Three merged with Vodafone. The UK now has three physical networks instead of four, and the consequences reach further than most people realise.

Headline monthly prices hide the real cost of a Galaxy S25 Ultra contract. Here is how to compare properly, and when buying outright beats a contract entirely.

Apple Watches depreciate faster than iPhones, which makes them excellent refurbished buys, provided you know which series are still worth having and which to skip.

iPads hold value better than almost any tablet, which makes buying refurbished genuinely worthwhile, if you pick the right generation. Which to buy and which to skip.

One generation apart, and the upgrade decision is closer than Apple would like. What changed, what your iPhone 16 is worth, and whether the maths works.

A newer standard phone against an older flagship at a similar price. Which Pixel actually makes more sense refurbished, and which one holds its value?
