Need-to-knows It’s that time of year again. The latest Pixel has dropped. Apple’s counterpunch has landed. And this year, the battle between the two is genuinely closer than ever. The Pixel 10 received stellar reviews and is by all accounts a truly excellent smartphone with a range of standout features for the price. The iPhone [...] The post iPhone 17 vs Google Pixel 10: Closer Than Ever appeared first on Mark Ellis Reviews.| Mark Ellis Reviews
Need-to-knows Last year, I claimed that the base model M4 MacBook Pro was the best MacBook Pro Apple had ever made. I stand by that. Gone were the days of the ‘cheapest’ MacBook Pro being hampered by a lack of ports and unreasonably degraded performance. The M4 version finally brought proper Pro-level power and connectivity [...] The post M5 MacBook Pro Review: The Best Just Got Better? appeared first on Mark Ellis Reviews.| Mark Ellis Reviews
Need-to-knows Well, you asked for it. Despite having already reviewed the ultra-thin iPhone Air and the feature-packed iPhone 17 Pro Max, I’ve been inundated with one repeated question from the comments section: “Mark, what about the regular iPhone 17?” So, I bought one. Yes, with my own money, because Apple still doesn’t send me review [...] The post iPhone 17 Review: The Best iPhone? appeared first on Mark Ellis Reviews.| Mark Ellis Reviews
Need-to-knows Another year, another Pixel. Or so it seems. The Pixel 10 has landed with a softly spoken thud, and once again, Google has left us to piece together whether it’s worth upgrading or simply sticking with last year’s still-very-capable Pixel 9. Is this a revolution, an evolution, or just a slightly shinier box with [...] The post Google Pixel 10 vs Pixel 9: Full Comparison appeared first on Mark Ellis Reviews.| Mark Ellis Reviews
Need-to-knows I’m one of the tech YouTubers (stop rolling your eyes at the back) who imported Vision Pro into the UK when it was launched in the US in February 2024. This cost my business a fair bit of money, as you might imagine. Money, headaches, and faint regret, to be more exact. I jumped [...] The post M5 Vision Pro: New Chip, New Band, New Reason to Buy? appeared first on Mark Ellis Reviews.| Mark Ellis Reviews
Need-to-knows It’s official – an M5 chip now powers the iPad Pro. Which means if you’ve got the M4 iPad Pro, you might as well just throw it in the bin, call it a day, and rue the day you entered the Apple ecosystem. I’m joking, of course. Unless your iPad Pro is of the [...] The post M5 iPad Pro vs M1 iPad Pro – Which To Buy? appeared first on Mark Ellis Reviews.| Mark Ellis Reviews
Need-to-knows Apple has officially launched the M5 iPad Pro, the latest iteration in its top-of-the-range iPad lineup. It arrives with a new processing chip, a new OLED display, and Apple’s latest attempt to convince the world that the iPad really can replace your laptop in the form of iPadOS 26.

Need-to-knows Apple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro has been refreshed once again, this time with the new M5 chip at its core. As with any Apple silicon upgrade, there’s a predictable flurry of percentage increases, tech jargon, and bold claims. But what does it all actually mean, and is this MacBook Pro a true leap forward or [...] The post M5 MacBook Pro: Everything You Need To Know appeared first on Mark Ellis Reviews.| Mark Ellis Reviews
Need-to-knows I’m a bit late to the post with this AirPods Pro 3 review, aren’t I? That’s intentional.
