Apple's iPhone 15 and 15 Plus smartphones for 2023 feature last year's iPhone 14 Pro A16 Bionic chip, a debut 48MP camera, the introduction of Dynamic Island plus the long awaited move to USB-C connectivity... you might not like the new colours though.

The new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra features a whopping 200MP main camera, a switch to the same new processor across all territories and a best ever battery life. It's a flagship phone with a flagship price, so are these new improvements enough to warrant an upgrade?  

Sony serves up its second virtual reality headset, though this time it's for PS5 owners only. It costs more than the console itself but is packed with high end features for a premium out-of-body experience. Is the PSVR2 the shot in the arm the VR industry needs?
