Despite the iPhone 15 series' launch, the iPhone 14 Plus is still an excellent iPhone that could last you for many years. After all, Apple typically supports its flagship phones for over five years. Software support on its own, however, isn't enough to ensure longevity. One must also take proper care of their device's hardware for it to remain functional. That's why we advise you to invest in one of the iPhone 14 Plus cases we've listed below.

Following around three months of beta testing, a fresh wave of major OS updates has arrived. This means that your new iPhone, excellent Apple Watch, versatile iPad, and Apple TV are about to become even more powerful. Through iOS 17, watchOS 10, iPadOS 17, and tvOS 17, you will get a noticeable boost in the communication department, StandBy mode on the iPhone, redesigned Apple Watch UI, tight Continuity Camera integration on the Apple TV, and much, much more.

While iOS 17 and watchOS 10 are certainly more exciting and popular among the masses, we can't ignore tvOS 17 and the value it brings to iDevice users. After all, the Apple TV is arguably the best media streaming device for those on iOS. After using tvOS 17 for around three months, it has become evident to me that Apple is still innovating in this space and trying to push the platform forward.

If you have bought one of the great iPhones, there's no better smartwatch than the Apple Watch. Other manufacturers don't offer the same level of deep integration that the Cupertino firm provides between the Apple Watch and the iPhone. With so many versions having been released so far, however, it's easy to wonder if you should opt for the newest one and why the newer ones are the best options. That’ll require some explaining.

The iPhone 14 may not be the best iPhone on the market, but it's still a flagship phone that could last you for years to come. Though, software support isn't enough for longevity; you should also take good care of it yourself. That's why if you buy an iPhone 14, you should consider grabbing a case as well. A case wouldn't only protect your iPhone, but it also could freshen up its mundane exterior.

iPadOS 17 review: Playing catch-up with iOS

iPadOS 17 doesn't contribute much to the operating system's unique direction.

4
By 

Since iPadOS 13, the iPad's operating system has diverted away from iOS, offering more exclusive features, tools, and changes. That's partially due to Apple trying to market its excellent tablets as laptop replacements. Now that I've been using iPadOS 17 for over three months, however, it has become evident that the Cupertino firm may just be running out of ideas. iPadOS 17 focuses on porting features introduced with iOS 17 and 16 rather than evolving the iPad's so-called unique identity.
