When it comes to buying a (good) cheap tablet, your options are much more limited compared to the vast selection of best cheap phones available in 2025. That does, however, make the process of settling on the right model for your needs much simpler. For context, the iPad 10.2 (2021) sat atop our list of the best cheap tablets for several years before Apple’s last-gen base iPad, the iPad 10.9 (2022), displaced it in March.

The Fairphone 6 is the best-looking Fairphone yet because it’s so darn conventional

2 days ago | techradar.com | Axel Metz

Fairphone has officially unveiled its latest eco-friendly flagship, the Fairphone 6 (known formally as ‘The Fairphone’), and while the device is more modular, more repairable, and quite frankly more Fairphone than ever before, from a design standpoint, it certainly looks a lot more conventional than its predecessors. I say that as a compliment.

I'm skipping the Apple AirTag 2 wait line and buying a discounted original model instead - here's why you should do the same

2 days ago | techradar.com | Axel Metz

The original Apple AirTag arrived way back in 2021, and while we were previously expecting a second-generation model to debut in the first half of this year, it now looks like the AirTag 2 won't be hitting shelves until September at the earliest. Sure, that's a minor disappointment, especially since the AirTag 2 will likely use an upgraded ultra-wideband chip to deliver greater tracking range and potential compatibility with the Vision Pro headset.
If you use Duolingo and own one of Apple’s latest iPhones, start putting your Action button to better use

The most annoying person you know has a four-figure Duolingo streak, but don’t let that cloud the fact that Duolingo is, without doubt, the world’s best language learning app. With just shy of 100 million monthly active users, Duolingo has democratized the experience of learning a language like no other platform before it. But if you’re serious about becoming fluent in a new tongue, two minutes of daily, peer-pressure-induced Duolingo learning just won’t cut it.

You can totally tell that 28 Years Later was shot on an iPhone - and that’s a good thing

1 week ago | techradar.com | Axel Metz

Director Danny Boyle used up to 20 iPhones to film some scenes in 28 Years LaterIt’s easy – and in many cases, fair – to dismiss films shot with iPhones as little more than elaborate adverts for Apple’s biggest-selling product, but 28 Years Later is about as far from an Apple-approved advert as movies come. Danny Boyle’s long-awaited follow-up to 28 Days Later and its sequel, 28 Weeks Later, is not commercially associated with Apple in any way.
