Apple already announced a lot of new devices in 2026 and we've been busy reviewing them all. In this installment of our bi-weekly roundup, we revisit the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e and more, in addition to the "regular" Galaxy S26 and Dell XPS 16.

No delay is required when iPhone is at familiar locations such as home and work.
