Since its launch late last year, Apple’s new payment system Apple Pay has been kept exclusively in the U.S. Today at WWDC 2015 though, they announced the launch of Apple Pay in the UK starting from July. As the owner of an iPhone 6 and Apple Watch I’m really excited about this and how easy it’ll…

Apple’s iPad has been popular for casual uses like light gaming, social networking and watching videos, however for some, it’s more of a productivity tool used for getting work done. For those users, the iPad has always lacked one thing: good multi-tasking functionality. Today at WWDC 2015, Apple announced that iOS 9 will fix that with three features…
Many thanks to F-Secure for sponsoring Let’s Talk Tech this month. Nowadays we all want to use the public WiFi which is available to us when we’re out and about. The problem is that public WiFi is inherently insecure; it’s designed to provide internet access only and security implications are not a consideration for the provider. F-Secure…
Ever since I got my hands on a contactless payment card, the chip-and-pin system feels archaic to me. I know it sounds petty (it’s only 4 digits after all), but in comparison to a ‘tap and pay’ experience entering my pin number feels more long-winded than I’d like. That’s why I was excited to try…
Last week I had the bad luck of dropping my iPhone flat on concrete. Go ahead, take a moment to cringe — I know I did. Fortunately enough it fell flat on its back rather than the display (that would have been much worse), which meant a few kinks to its sensitive aluminium body. That was painful to look at,…
Taking screenshots on Apple Watch is super simple, just like with screenshots on the iPhone and iPad. Here’s what you have to do: Navigate to the screen you’d like to take a screenshot of Now you have to press down on the digital crown and button on the side of your Apple Watch at the same…
The Apple Watch’s charging equipment includes a magnetic charger and cool foldable plug. I really like the magnetic charger because it allows you to charge your Apple Watch without needing to plug in cables, effectively making it a near ‘wireless’ experience. What I haven’t liked is the cable spread across my bedside table and dangling to the floor though, and that’s…
In case you haven’t seen the hundreds of Apple Watch unboxings around the web, Apple’s new wearable ships with an interesting plug and a generously sized 1 metre-long charging cable. This isn’t your typical charging kit: the plug itself has a very impressive folding design, which reminds me a lot of the MU plug I reviewed…
I recently got invited by UK network, Three, to get hands on with Huawei’s Honor 6 Plus smartphone. You can read my full first impressions in this post, but in the video below (produced by fellow tech blogger Purav, or PDTechHD) a few UK tech bloggers weigh in their thoughts on the device.

My first experience with a smartphone was with a BlackBerry Bold. Truthfully, I don’t even remember which specific model it was, but I do remember picking it over the iPhone 3GS at the time. Why? BlackBerry messenger (BBM) was one of the company’s key selling points, and with its physical keyboard and mouse, it was just a pleasure…
