In November 2025 I published my initial review of the iPhone Air, loaned to me by Apple, based on my first few weeks with the device. Now, after several months with Apple's ultra slim phone, , and following the recent addition of the iPhone 17E to the line-up, I thought it a good time to revisit it.
The iPhone Air's unique selling point is of course its physical design. Five…

Apple’s iPhone 17e was released yesterday, bringing the power of a modern iPhone to the masses at an affordable price. Apple kindly sent me an iPhone 17e for review, and I’ve spent a little over a day with the device. Below are some very early initial impressions:
My daily driver is an iPhone 17 Pro Max. While I like the best-in-class battery life, there’s no getting around the fact that the Pro Max models are huge. When I pick up the iPhone 17e, I am…

Welcome to another installment of AnonyMouse's App Pick of the Month. This month’s pick is WikiTrip – Travel Audio Guide, a location-based audio stories app powered by Wikipedia. I picked WikiTrip because it turns a road trip, commute, or even a simple walk into something more interesting in the moment, without needing you to sit there reading on your phone.
WikiTrip is built around movement. You start the app, then walk, drive, or ride, and it reads aloud the stories behind the…

I upgraded to the iPhone 17 in December. Coming from the iPhone 15, I definitely noticed immediate improvements, and can already declare, one month in, that this is the best upgrade I’ve received so far. Apple really outdid themselves with this one.
The very first thing I noticed about the iPhone 17 was the sound quality. It’s something I had heard so much about and was very much looking forward to. Both with playing media and just the general sound of VoiceOver, there seems to be…

Welcome to the January 2026 installment of AnonyMouse’s App Pick of the Month. This month, my pick is Theseus & the Minotaur, a strategy-based puzzle game that delivers a thoughtful and challenging experience on iOS. I chose this app because it immediately reminded me of one of my most loved games from years ago—Robo-E, a title that has long since disappeared from the App Store. Ever since then, I’ve been hoping for something similar,…
