While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

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

Well designed and well made

It was expensive

The new MacBook Pro therefore hits a sweet spot that we've rarely seen from an Apple laptop. It's powerful enough to match the performance of similarly configured $3,000 Windows machines on the types of tasks that its owners will likely care about, while remaining a standard-bearer in terms of...

Excellent battery life; Core i9 processing muscle; Sleek, thin all-metal design; Beautiful display with automatic color-temperature adjustment; Roomy SSD

High starting price, and painfully expensive as configured; Limited I/O options

The 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro provides impressive performance -- especially if you add the Core i9 upgrade tested here. The fact that the MacBook Pro can accommodate a powerful CPU and GPU without increasing its size or weight -- or affecting battery life -- is no mean feat either.

Impressive CPU and GPU performance, Attractive, high-resolution display, Slim, lightweight design, All-day battery life

Very expensive, Sealed unit prevents user upgrades and repairs, Lifeless keyboard

On paper, it looked like an impressive, if predictable, set of internal component upgrades. Apple's 13-inch and 15-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro models would get new eighth-gen Intel processors , more storage and RAM options, a color-temperature-sensing True Tone screen and other tweaks -- all nice...

The latest 15-inch MacBook Pro offers major internal upgrades to the CPU, RAM, storage and display; The Core i9 version delivers a worthwhile speed boost on processor-intensive tasks

The basic design hasn't been updated, keeping the same advantages and flaws; Adding the new high-end options drives the cost way up

I was skeptical buying a MacBook, Ive always been a pc guy, but this thing is amazing. I have only had it for about a week but its been working like a charm. The only problem I might have with it is the battery life when Im doing video projects. Other than that I think Im going to enjoy this.

Apple MacBook Pro 2018 : What is our concept of a professional laptop While I would have thought it would be thin, but powerful, notebook devices that are light enough to be carried around, a recent trip to Japan turned out to be an eye-opener.

The MacBook Pro is a great performance laptop, but it comes at a price that can get ridiculous with various tick-box upgrades. Still, it's a workhorse that delivers on its pro-name promise with style.

Searing performance and super-fast SSD; Far better keyboard than last year's; TrueTone display is excellent

Touch Bar not hugely useful; No discrete graphics option for 13in model Lack of ports (it's USB-C only; Battery life not best going; Pricey
