"Almost right after CES wrapped, Samsung held their Unpacked 2024 event to launch their latest Galaxy smartphones to market; the S24 Ultra, S24+ and S24.
On the surface the biggest change, like the iPhone 15 Pro, is that Samsung have opted for Titanium to construct their latest top of the range model. Their reasoning for this change being its increased durability over aluminium. The use of titanium has allowed Samsung to slim down the device whilst making it more damage resistant than the previous S23. Samsung have also gotten rid of the curved edges to the screen in favour of a flat screen design. The S24 Ultra still has a slight curve whilst the S24 Plus and S24 have got completely flat screens".

"Apple’s long awaited iPhone 2023 event has been and gone and there were not a huge amount of surprises. We got some better watches, improved iPhones and the shift to USB-C for iPhone (and AirPods Pro) has finally happened, and along with it some tangible improvements for iPhone. This change may not have happened had the EU not intervened by requiring all smartphones and electronic devices to have USB-C ports by the end of 2024."

"The latest graphics card generation has been a big disappointment for gamers with prices hiked by both NVIDIA and AMD, and whilst NVIDIA have fleshed out their range more so than AMD with mid-range cards, the prices have still been higher than the previous generation. The previous generation have also stuck around and where they were once tricky to obtain, that’s now not the case."
