Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

Apple's lightest and slimmest notebook ever, Air, finally gets the retina update that Apple users have been waited long for. It was a decade ago when Steve Jobs shocked Apple fans after he pulled out the slimmest laptop out of an envelope on stage.

It may be long overdue, but the 2018 edition of the MacBook Air pulls off a good balancing act. Rather than a ground-up revamp, this new model concentrates on refining the elegant, lightweight design that made the MacBook Air so popular in the first place, while also bringing it up to date with...

Slimmer, lighter design, High-resolution Retina display, 10hr battery, 2x Thunderbolt/USB-C ports

Expensive, Only mid-range performance, No build-to-order processor upgrade, No user-upgrades or repairs

Overall, the new MacBook Air is a great laptop for those who want good performance, great battery life and easy to travel with. However, it’s disappointing that Apple doesn’t offer the Intel Core i7 in the new MacBook Air and this year’s model is more expensive than last year.

Lighter design, Good keyboard, Great looking retina display, USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3

No Intel Core i7 option, Only 2 USB-C ports, More expensive than previous models

I'm going to let you in on a secret: In the lead-up to Apple's big Mac-and-iPad event last month, Team Engadget had a prewritten story ready to go in the event that Apple finally killed off the Air line. Needless to say, that article never saw the light of day.

The MacBook Air's long overdue makeover adds welcome additions like a high-res screen and Touch ID, but it includes some unwelcome trade-offs -- including a much higher price.

The MacBook is now smaller and lighter, with a better display, faster processors and a bigger touchpad. The MacOS experience and all-day battery are still big selling points.

The starting price has shot up significantly, despite sticking with dual-core CPUs. The shallow butterfly keyboard and limited ports may feel like a step back from the previous Air.

It's over a decade since the very first MacBook Air went to market, heralding in the era of the ultra-thin notebook. Indeed, it was the thinnest available at the time. But oh how times move fast and the MacBook Air had been becoming something of a relic; a laptop surrounded by Windows-based...

High-res ‘Retina' display with smaller bezel than previous Air models; Large trackpad with Force Touch control; Touch ID login via fingerprint is great; Smaller and lighter footprint adds to appeal

Loud and sometimes unresponsive keyboard; Only Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports and no SD card slot; Confuses the MacBook/Air/Pro lineup; No Face ID; Strong Windows 10 competition now

Apple has repeatedly described the MacBook Air as the most popular Mac in its lineup, with years of neglect leaving some intimidatingly large shoes for the new 2018 upgrade to fill.
