With the Apple iPhone 16 and 16 Pro launching later this week, I want to share a story that might make you consider purchasing AppleCare+ when you buy your new toy. Earlier month, I was in Singapore, where my iPhone 14 Pro was pickpocketed. After a lot of back and forth (there was drama... a story for another day), I found it had been handed in by a kind person.

In Hamburg, it helped me find my keys when I accidentally packed them in my suitcase - or even find which belt a bag was sat on at O'Hare. Both have strengths and weaknesses - I find Tiles to be a lot louder than … [Read more...]

Time for some more Travel Technology that has fallen in my lap - this time, the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4. I have been daily driving a Surface Laptop for just under two years, so to say I have got more than a healthy interest in how the line has progressed - and is it still one of the best PC experiences going?
