Abstract: Want to watch movies on your Apple Watch? We don't either, so the watch's upcoming theater mode, which Apple hinted at in a developer guide this week, seems puzzling until you realize that it's intended to minimize disruptions in a dark theater, rather th...
The Apple Watch Series 3 is a great entry point for the Apple Watch platform, but it's getting a little long in the tooth now. If you can find the extra £70/$70 then it's well worth plumping for the Apple Watch SE instead. Not only do you get the newer pr...

It feels like a no-brainer: the Series 4 features a slimmer body and a larger screen, has a processor that's twice as fast and comes with a raft of new health features. It's hard to make a case for the Series 3 - except that it now gets a price cut and st...
