With Apple having released its iPhone X earlier this month after a year of speculation and hype, it's time to get the cycle started all over again with fresh rumours about the company's 2018 phones.
Apple's latest phone costs more to make than the iPhone 8 that came before, but it's also being sold at a higher mark-up.
If you want a quick guide to everything new before you get your own new iPhone X, here's your cheat sheet.
The iPhone X is as weird and wonderful device. And it will take some time to get used to.
The Pixel 2 fixes a lot of the issues that kept the original Pixels from being perfect Android phones.
A survey by brokerage Bernstein showed that demand for the device will be substantial, but not exceptional, with about a quarter of the respondents planning to buy the phone.
I've been using the new Nokia 3310 3G as my primary phone for a full work week, and it's been like living in a localised time distortion field where I was in 2000 and everybody else was 17 years ahead.
When it comes to smartphones, Australians are buying more Samsung devices compared to this time last year, and ever so slightly more iPhones, but less of almost everything else.
Cameras in smartphones are getting better every year, especially given the increasing power of the portable computers they're attached to, but they're limited by the physical size of the phones they're in.
Google has unveiled a stack of new gadgets at a special event in California, issuing a direct challenge to Apple, Amazon and Microsoft as it continues its push into original hardware that leverages the company's AI and cloud services.
A new version of the classic Nokia 3310 mobile phone will launch in Australia in October, complete with a customisable retro interface, an MP3 player and of course a version of the classic mobile game Snake.
Apple launch of the iPhone 8 kicked off with less fanfare than new models in previous years in the United States, Asia, Australia and Britain, as fans held out for the premium iPhone X, due out in early November.
Apple's iPhone 8 Plus "won't make you a better photographer, but it will improve your photos".
While the last major update to iOS redesigned and overhauled the iPhone experience, iOS 11 — which is rolling out starting today — is mostly about iPad-specific features that turn the tablet from an oversized phone to more of a laptop replacement.
The announcement of the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus was overshadowed at last week's event in Cupertino, as the world's media was far more interested in the radically redesigned iPhone X. But in any other year, these two new phones would be a worthy upgrade for the iPhone faithful.
Hot on the back of Apple's announcement of the new Watch Series 3, the first Aussie telco to support its integrated eSIM has come out swinging. Telstra's new One Number service will let you hook up your phone and wearable to the same phone number and mobile data plan.
A whiff of dystopian creepiness has long wafted in the air whenever facial recognition has come up, but Apple sought to reverse that equation with the introduction of its new phone.
Android users will no doubt mock the iPhone X, pointing to the bezel-less design of the Samsung Galaxy S8 to say Apple is playing catching up. But the iPhone X feels very different in the hand to those Android flagships.
Apple is a company that makes active money out of secrecy. The one detail we can be assured of is that the new iPhone models won't be cheap.
