| 2019 Masters live stream: how to watch round three golf for free and from anywhere Posted: 13 Apr 2019 11:45 AM PDT It's so-called 'moving day' at the 2019 Masters Tournament and the front runners for this year's Green Jacket are out on the course for the third round. There are loads of players still well in contention, but only one name on everybody's lips - Tiger Woods. And you can get a US Masters live stream from absolutely anywhere you are in the world - see how to watch for FREE by reading on. So let's talk about the out-and-out leaders for starters...there are five of them, two of which are Australians Jason Day and former champ Adam Scott. Another former Green Jacket wearer Louis Oosthuizen is also at -7, along with 2018 Open winner Francesco Molinari and last year's stand-out player Brooks Koepka. But the big story this week so far is Tiger Woods. Rolling back the years and looking like a genuine threat to grab his 15th major - his first for over 10 years. It's 22 years since his first win at Augusta National and the raucous crowd will be urging every single shot to "get in the hole". You may not be able to join them on the course in Georgia, but our quick and easy guide will tell you how to watch a 2019 Masters live stream online from anywhere in the world. It's extremely easy to do, even if you are away from your home country when it's on and want to tune in to your preferred coverage - it's even FREE in some countries and available to watch free from commercials.
How to get a Masters live stream from outside your countryTry to live stream Masters golf away from your home country and you'll quickly find that your domestic coverage is geo-blocked. It's frustrating, but not unavoidable. How to live stream Masters golf for FREEYour initial go-to option for streaming this year's Masters in the US is an absolute gimme. Simply head to Masters.com, hit the 'Watch' tab and away you go. As well as having all the live action from all four days of play - with a spotlight on featured holes and groups - it also includes footage from the practise range and as many highlights and interviews as you can handle. You'll find that the Masters.com live stream is geo-blocked if you try and access it from outside the country. That's where using a VPN (as explained above) comes in handy, so you can watch it as if you were back in the US. If it's all the bells and whistles of broadcast-quality coverage you need and you're in the US, the alternative is to watch the coverage on ESPN, CBS or a host of cord-cutting options. More on which below. UK and Australian audiences may not have access to that Masters.com stream, but at least you too have some free-to-air coverage to enjoy. The concluding two rounds are on the UK's BBC - which also means no pesky ad breaks - while in Australia the Nine Network has it all live and for free.
How to watch a Masters live stream in the USESPN and CBS have the share of the spoils in the US, with the former taking the first two rounds (and par three contest) and CBS with rounds three and four. Note that you will need a US IP address in order to access the above stations or otherwise you won't be able to access the content from abroad - if you want to do so, you'll have to follow our VPN guidelines above and log in with a VPN, choosing a US server location. They aren't you're only option though, with all of the top US-based TV streaming services all providing an alternative. Each one offers a free trial to get you started and has masses of other content and channels for you to enjoy if you subscribe:
How to watch the 2019 US Masters: live stream for free and without commercials in the UKFor Saturday and Sunday at the Masters, BBC Two is showing the last two rounds with completely commercial-free coverage. It's not exclusive to the Beeb though and you may well prefer the big-budget broadcasting that Sky Sports Golf supplies. Or, if you don't want to bother yourself with a Sky Sports subscription, there is another way. Now TV may well be a decent fit for you. It costs £14.99 for a week's worth of access. And pretty much every streaming device you can think of has a Now app. Out of the UK this weekend? Then follow our instructions above to get a VPN and tune into your preferred coverage as if you were back in Blighty. Once you're set up, we'd recommend heading over to stream it on TVPlayer.com, which has all the Freeview channels (including BBC Two) in one place and a robust, legal stream to watch on.
How watch the 2019 US Masters in Australia for FREE!Great news, Australia. 2019's first major golf tournament is playing on free-to-air television with the Nine Network's Gem channel showing the action. Particularly exciting with two Aussies in the last two pairs - they get going at around 4.30am Sunday morning AEST. Your other option is to sign up for the fast-emerging Kayo Sports streaming service, which features no lock-in contracts and gives you access to over 50 other sports including the F1, NRL, FA Cup football, NBA playoffs...the list goes on! Not only that, but Kayo is boasting three bonus cameras for every round of the golf, providing more ways to watch - so well worth checking out if you're a golf obsessive that wants the best possible Masters live stream coverage. Kayo Sports Basic Package costs $25 per month and allows users to stream across two devices simultaneously. Alternatively, the service also offers a Kayo Sports Premium Package, which provides three concurrent streams for $35 per month. And don't forget that if you're out of Australia this weekend and are still desperate to tune in to one of the above methods of watching the golf, you'll need a VPN to magically transfer your IP address back to a server in Australia.

| Buy a one year subscription to IPVanish VPN and get your second year completely free Posted: 13 Apr 2019 07:38 AM PDT As part of so-called 'World VPN Week', on of our top-rated providers IPVanish is running an offer where, if you buy a one year VPN subscription, it will throw in an additional year completely free. Considering IPVanish appears to be the only company taking part in the impressive sounding 'World VPN Week' we can't quite help but feel like its not real...or maybe everyone else is saving their World VPN week offers for next year where they will go all out, we can't be sure. But, we love any excuse for a brilliant VPN deal so no complaining here. Considering the fact that just one year will cost $77.99 (roughly £60) you end up only paying effectively $3.25 a month - an excellent price for this level of online protection. With over 40,000 possible IPs and more than 1,300 servers in over 75 locations, IPVanish is one of the premier VPNs out there (#2 in our best VPN guide!). You'll be getting speedy performances, a bunch of features and most importantly for some, the ability to watch Netflix in other countries. So if you want to get two years of online protection for the price of one, then scroll down to see this deal in full. Or if you would rather see what else is available, check out our picks of the best VPN deals currently available.
Buy one year, get one free with IPVanishWhat can you do with a VPNThere are traditionally two main reasons you might want to get a VPN - protecting yourself online and avoiding internet restrictions. In terms of online safety, a VPN uses encryption technologies to mask your IP address so you can't be tracked. Simply, it makes it a lot harder for you to be traced on the internet. Their other use is a bit wider in its functionality and realistically more popular. VPNs can allow you to work around restrictions online which means watching your favourite channels in other countries, getting cheaper deals on flights and trains and watch any country's Netflix no matter where you are.

| Here's our first look at the Vader Immortal VR game coming to Oculus headsets Posted: 13 Apr 2019 06:30 AM PDT First announced back in September, we've now been treated to our first look at the Vader Immortal game arriving alongside the Oculus Quest when it launches in the coming weeks. We've embedded the trailer below, which was shown off as part of the Star Wars Celebration event in the US. It looks like the action is set on Vader's home base at Mustafar, which featured in the Rogue One movie. From the two minutes of footage we've got, it seems you're a prisoner inside the base and you need to get out. Apparently you've got a droid to help you out – and a lightsaber.
As we already know, these are interactive stories rather than games per se, but the trailer does give us a glimpse of some combat and some climbing, so there will be plenty of interaction as well as story. This is the first episode of three as far as Vader Immortal is concerned – and presumably there might be more stories on the way in the future if this one is well received. Oculus also broke the news that the game is going to be coming to the Oculus Rift S as well as the Oculus Quest, though maybe not at the same time. Previously, Vader Immortal had been promoted as an Oculus Quest exclusive. We don't know yet exactly when the Oculus Quest and Vader Immortal will appear – but a "spring 2019" launch has repeatedly been mentioned, so it can't be far off. And if you're one of the handful of people in the world who haven't seen it yet, a teaser trailer for the upcoming Episode XI movie was also revealed at the Star Wars Celebration event.

| NBA playoffs live stream: how to watch every 2019 postseason game online from anywhere Posted: 13 Apr 2019 06:10 AM PDT The regular 2019 NBA season may be over and that means the serious basketball business can really begin. The best 16 teams in the Eastern and Western conference make their way to the postseason and you can get an NBA Playoffs live stream of every game. The Milwaukee Bucks, Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers will be competing for the Eastern Conference Championship while the Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers, Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz will be competing for the Western Conference Championship. There’s a lot of basketball to be watched and to catch it all, you’ll need to have access to ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. Not a premium cable subscriber? Don’t worry as we’ll walk you through all of the various streaming services available that have access to these channels. Whether you’re favorite team is competing in the Western or Eastern Conference, we’ll show you how to watch a live stream of every game in the 2019 NBA Playoffs online so you don’t miss a single basket this postseason.
How to watch the 2019 NBA All-Star game online from outside your countryIf you live in the US or UK and want to know how to catch a 2019 NBA Playoffs live stream, then keep scrolling and we’ll tell you your best viewing options. But if you can't watch because you're not in your home country and so your coverage is geo-blocked then we can suggest a clever alternative (and no, it doesn’t involve finding some dodgy feed on Reddit). Using a VPN - or Virtual Private Network - you can change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have the stream so that you can watch the 2019 NBA Playoffs games from anywhere in the world. The process is very straightforward…
Watch the NBA playoffs on TV in the USUnfortunately the NBA’s own streaming service (the League Pass) won’t be showing either the NBA Playoffs or the Finals live online as all of these games will be nationally televised. If you’re already a League Pass subscriber though, you will still be able to watch these games in the service’s archives, though they won’t be available until three hours after they air on TV. If you’re looking to watch the NBA Playoffs live on TV however, then you’ll need to narrow down which channels are showing which conference’s games and lucky for you, we can help you with that. If your favorite team is playing in the Western Conference Finals, then ESPN is your only choice to watch those games as the network has the exclusive rights to broadcast the Western Conference Finals on TV. On the other hand, if your franchise is playing in the Eastern Conference Finals, then TNT is your only option as the network has secured the rights to broadcast those games. The NBA’s own network, NBA TV will air some first round games on TV, so if you don’t want to miss a single minute of the NBA Playoffs, you’ll need a cable package or streaming service with access to NBA TV. Finally, for the 17th consecutive year, ABC has the sole rights to broadcast the NBA Finals. If you want to watch the finals, you’ll have to do so on ABC. We wish watching the NBA Playoffs was easier on TV but you can get around network exclusivity deals by opting for a streaming service that gives you access to every channel showing the playoffs.
- Discover our pick of all the US's best sports streaming sites
Watch the NBA playoffs in the UKFor years now, basketball fans in the UK have associated the NBA with BT Sport but that all changed when the network declined to renew its exclusive broadcast rights this year. Thankfully though, Sky Sports stepped in at the last minute and announced that it had signed a four-year broadcast deal to air NBA games in the UK. The network aired more than 170 live games during this year’s regular season and it will continue to show games throughout the NBA Playoffs and Finals. If you’re not already a Sky Sports subscriber and don’t feel like paying for the service just to watch the NBA Playoffs, don’t worry as you can buy a daily, weekly or even monthly Sky Sports Pass on Now TV. This will allow you to watch the NBA Playoffs, NBA Finals and even other sports shown on the network. And if you find yourself outside the UK at any stage during the playoffs then don't forget that you can always use a VPN to change your IP address back to the UK and watch as if you were back at home.

| Fitbit Versa vs Fitbit Versa Lite: do you lose much by getting the cheaper edition? Posted: 13 Apr 2019 05:00 AM PDT Fitbit now offers two versions of the Fitbit Versa, with the standard model joined by the Fitbit Versa Lite. As the name suggests, the latter is a cheaper version of the smartwatch with some features stripped away. But just what’s missing here? What remains? How do the prices differ? And how else do they compare? We answer all of that below, as we compare and contrast the Fitbit Versa to the Fitbit Versa Lite across all the areas that matter. Fitbit Versa vs Fitbit Versa Lite design and screen
The Versa has more buttons but otherwise looks similar. (Image credit: TechRadar) The Fitbit Versa and Fitbit Versa Lite have a very similar design, so much so that you’re unlikely to be able to tell them apart at first glance. They both have a rectangular aluminum body with rounded corners, however, while the standard Fitbit Versa has three buttons to help you navigate – with two on the right edge and one on the left - the Fitbit Versa Lite has just one button, with the two on the right absent. The two models are also available in different colors, with the Fitbit Versa coming in all black, or with a peach strap and a rose gold body, or grey with a silver body, while the Versa Lite comes in white with a silver body, lilac with a silver body, mulberry, or marina blue.
The Versa Lite has just one button but comes in a wider range of colors. Image credit: TechRadar The straps in all cases are silicone, though there’s also a Fitbit Versa Special Edition, which comes with a slightly classier woven strap in charcoal or lavender. It’s worth noting also that both the Fitbit Versa and the Fitbit Versa Lite are water-resistant to depths of 50 meters. As for the screen, it’s a square 1.34-inch 300 x 300 LCD one on both watches and in both cases it’s a color display. The screen on both watches can also reach 1000 nits of brightness and uses Gorilla Glass 3 for protection, so there’s not much to choose here. Fitbit Versa vs Fitbit Versa Lite specs and features
You can't make contactless payments with the Versa Lite. Image credit: TechRadar Key features of the Fitbit Versa Lite include steps and calorie tracking, sleep tracking, a heart rate monitor, more than 15 exercise modes, notifications from your phone, access to apps and clock faces, and female health tracking. The standard Fitbit Versa unsurprisingly offers all of that, but it additionally offers on-screen guided workouts, lets you store and play music, lets you make contactless payments with Fitbit Pay, and tells you how many floors you’ve climbed. Plus, while both wearables are swim-safe only the standard Versa will actually track your laps in the pool. Fitbit Versa vs Fitbit Versa Lite battery
The two wearables have similar battery life. Image credit: TechRadar Battery life is rated by Fitbit at four or more days for both the Versa and the Versa Lite, though this will of course depend on how you’re using them. In our own tests those claims mostly hold up, meaning the two wearables have similar battery life, though the Versa Lite’s might be slightly better, as we often found we could get 4-5 days from that, while the standard Versa tended more towards 3-4. Fitbit Versa vs Fitbit Versa Lite price
The Versa costs a little more than the Lite. Image credit: TechRadar While most things so far have come out in the Fitbit Versa’s favor, price is one thing that doesn’t, as it costs £199.99 / $199.95 / AU$299.95, while the Fitbit Versa Lite is $159.95 / £149.99 / AU$249.95. So the Fitbit Versa Lite costs around 25% less in most regions. Having said that, this is the full RRP we’re talking about, but we’ve already seen the standard Versa drop as low as £135.99 / $145 in sales. Of course, the newer Fitbit Versa Lite will probably also be reduced during sale periods, but if not then it could at times be a tough sell. TakeawayUltimately, the biggest differences between the Fitbit Versa and the Fitbit Versa Lite are that the former supports contactless payments and music, but costs a bit more. There are other differences, covering features, battery life and design, all of which we’ve highlighted above, but they’re mostly minor. So the decision really is how much those extra features are worth to you. If you really want them then go for the Versa, but if they’re not things you’d use much then the Versa Lite is just as good in most ways, and generally costs less.

| The best Huawei P30 deal got even better with chance to win an £1,000 Currys voucher Posted: 13 Apr 2019 03:53 AM PDT Last week we saw a Huawei P30 deal which, to put it bluntly, was absolutely unreal. A brand new flagship phone at an overall price tag lower than flagship phones from the last two years. We honestly couldn't see this deal getting any better - but now it has. Thanks to a competition from the mobile phone retailer supplying this deal, Mobiles.co.uk, buying this phone contract by April 19 will also enter you into a competition to win a £1,000 Currys PC world voucher. Now, normally we would tell you not to be swayed by these kind of competitions or incentives when buying a new phone, the device is what matters after all. But when the mobile phone deal itself is this good it just feels like a win-win situation to us. So if you want to try your luck at winning big with your brand new phone, scroll down to see this deal in full. Or if you like the competition aspect but not this deal itself, check out our guide to the best Huawei p30 deals - but we can tell you now, you will not be able to beat this one for sheer value.
This incredible Huawei P30 deal:How good is the Huawei P30?Now we can understand the worry, this phone has just come out and it's this cheap, how good can it really be? Let us calm the worries by answering that question - this is a seriously impressive phone. With a triple camera set up, featuring a ridiculous 40MP camera Huawei has aced the photography aspect of this phone. Pairing this with a hefty 3650mAh battery and powerful processor means you don't even have to worry about how this phones doing internally. So it's well worth the SIM-free P30 price of £699 - and certainly the £689 broken down over two years as explained above. Read TechRadar's Huawei P30 review here

| How the Huawei P30 got me excited for phone photography again Posted: 13 Apr 2019 03:00 AM PDT I've reviewed a few phones for TechRadar now, but I hadn't found the camera a particularly compelling part of them – until I picked up the new Huawei P30. With its tri-lens offering and range of features, the Huawei P30 got me to re-think how I use the camera in my phone, and the way I use it to take pictures on a day-to-day basis.
That's not to say the cameras in other phones were bad – the Xiaomi Mi 9 has a fantastic snapper for its price, and the ROKiT IO Pro 3D's 3D photography is a novelty if nothing else - but while it was fun experimenting with these handsets for the purpose of a review, I’d never used a phone camera for novelty, non-review purposes. In fact, not since my first smartphone in the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (I was reluctant to give up my LG flip-phone, okay?) with its feeble 5MP snapper, had I actually opted to use my phone camera to take normal pictures, and since then I’d lost interest in taking 'artistic' or memorable shots. However when I started using the Huawei P30, and the range of image optimization features it boasts, I broke the habit of a lifetime (well, several years). - Discover all of today's best Huawei P30 deals in the UK
Image credit: TechRadar What's in a camera?You can read all about the specs of the Huawei P30’s camera, and what we thought about it, in our in-depth review, but these are the highlights. The main camera has a 40MP sensor which 'sees' red-yellow-yellow-blue light instead of the red-green-blue that other digital cameras do, and the point of this is both to pick up and boost colors better, and to take better night-time shots. Joining that is a 16MP ultra-wide camera – you can probably guess what this does, and it’s used to take wider panoramic shots with a substantially bigger field of view. Lastly is an 8MP sensor with a telephoto lens, which is used to take pictures with better depth sensing and focus, so subjects in the foreground are in focus while backgrounds and borders are artistically blurred. One of the main perks of this is a 30x zoom capability, which lets you can take pictures that are further away in high quality (and, if you want, take pictures of things that are huge distances away). Mode to measureMy main problem with taking phone pictures is that I don’t have a particularly artistic mind, and so I was sure my photography would be terrible, but with the Huawei P30 it was almost impossible to take a bad picture. Between the various features the three cameras bring, and the general high quality of pictures taken, it felt like the P30 had a solution, or a way to enhance a picture, for every setting and scene I saw; whether I wanted to take a close-up shot inside my dingy flat, or of a bright flower in a gloomy setting. Every time I saw an interesting scene there was a phone setting to improve it, and sometimes the pictures I took were even better than what I saw with my own eyes. Because the camera features were stopping me failing, I learnt to experiment more with what made a good photo, which naturally lead me to try and snap a greater variety of scenes. An eye for detailThe more I played with the camera, I got a sense of what worked as an ‘artistic’ shot, instead of what merely looked good because of night sight, color boosting or any other kind of enhancement. I’d never really considered aspects like symmetry, depth, or color balance in pictures, because previously my benchmark of a good picture was ‘not so blurry you can’t see the subject’, but as the Huawei P30 was acting like a crutch, these concepts opened up to me a little more. I also played around with the ‘Pro’ modes of the camera that weren’t as accessible to a photo newbie as they were to me now, and took some… interesting shots. But experimenting felt fun, as though I was developing as a photographer instead of desperately trying to take a shot that didn’t look bad, and I always felt like I was learning. Will this camera conquest continue?When I put down the Huawei P30 and pick up my next handset to review, it’s impossible to know if this new phone will inspire me to continue hunting down great pictures or if I’ll fall back into my old, negligent ways. However my time with the P30 has given me a better eye for scenery and details (not a great eye, I still admit I’m a pretty shoddy photographer!), and going forward it’s got me excited for testing out future phones and seeing how well they take shots. I realize the photos used in this feature may not win any awards, but by my standards they're pretty great, and I'm proud of them!

| It sounds like we've got a Horizon Zero Dawn sequel to look forward to Posted: 13 Apr 2019 02:30 AM PDT Horizon Zero Dawn has been a huge hit with PS4 gamers since its launch in 2017, and while a sequel has yet to be officially announced, a follow-up appears to be in development. Voice actor Janina Gavankar, who was behind the voice of Tatai in The Frozen Wilds DLC for the game, let it slip that Guerilla Games is working on the next game in the series at a Star Wars convention. In a video clip Gavankar says to a fan "wait 'til you see the sequel" and tells her "you're gonna die" when the Horizon Zero Dawn 2 finally gets its big reveal.
That's all that the actor let slip though – it doesn't necessarily mean the game is anywhere near being launched, especially considering Sony is skipping E3 this year. A tale of two gamesThis is far from official confirmation that Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is on the way of course, though it does seem plausible that Gavankar would be back to voice her character. It also makes a lot of sense that Sony and Guerilla Games would want a follow-up: the original Horizon Zero Dawn has sold 10 million copies and is the most popular new franchise ever to launch on the PS4. We won't spoil the first game with any speculation about where the second one might be headed, just in case you haven't played it yet – but suffice to say there are a lot of possible avenues to explore. Chances are you've still got a while to complete the original though. The sequel might only be in the concept stage right now, but we'd expect it'll eventually get the green light.

| Sharp is working on a new Dynabook AIO with an 8K, 120Hz display Posted: 12 Apr 2019 04:23 PM PDT Sharp is starting to make more moves with Toshiba's computer business, which Sharp acquired for $36 million last year. A new all-in-one (AIO) computer with a serious display, something Sharp is known for, was shown off with the Dynabook branding, as spotted by PC Watch. The new computer wasn't spotted with any specific name, but it got the Dynabook branding that Toshiba recently shifted towards. The new Dynabook is an AIO with a 31.5-inch display using an 8K IGZO panel capable of hitting 800 nits worth of brightness. That luminance could could help it meet the VESA DisplayHDR 600 specifications. The display also has a refresh rate of 120Hz, making it a truly high-performance screen.
Image Credit: PC Watch Beyond these specs, though, there's little clear about the new Dynabook PC. While the HDMI 2.1 specification and DisplayPort 1.4 specification offer the bandwidth to support 8K video or 4K at the 120Hz refresh rate of the display, supporting and powering the display at 8K/120Hz is another matter. Even if the AIO were packing four Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards, they wouldn't be enough to push many new games in 8K at 120Hz. What it's forThat said, the new Dynabook is most likely targeted for workplace productivity. In the past, Toshiba has turned efforts away from consumer products with its laptops, and a computer like this seems more likely positioned for video and graphics work, though details on color accuracy haven't been revealed. It could come loaded with one of Nvidia's extra powerful Quadro graphics processors. An interesting difference between this new Dynabook and the likes of an iMac Pro is that this model is said to allow the video card and memory to be upgraded. That's something that tends to be difficult on AIO computers. Since we haven't seen what the part of the Dynabook housing the actual hardware looks like, it's hard to say just what Sharp has in store. Housing upgradable memory in a compact form factor is one thing, but swap-able desktop graphics cards is another entirely.

| Best iPhone 2019: which Apple phone is the best? Posted: 12 Apr 2019 02:21 PM PDT The best iPhone tends to just be the newest one, but that system for selection gets a little tricky when Apple releases three models at the same time, as it did last year with the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR. While these new iPhones are undeniably great options for those with the money, we've still set out to rank all of the best iPhones for you. This can help you see how the three newest iPhones compare to one another, and to see where previous models of the iPhone stand among the rest. We'll list all the key specs and features you need to see to get a sense of what each iPhone is offering. This way, if you're not looking to spend maximum cash on the latest and greatest features, you can find a more reasonable pick in an older iPhone, like 2017's iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, or one of the budget-minded options, like the iPhone XR. Good news, the top 10 iPhones we recommend run iOS 12 (and, soon, iOS 13), Apple's latest big operating system update for its devices. It's therefore a bit different from our prestigious best phones list and the best Android phones list. Apple's prices vary wildly, but you'll probably have to treat them as more of an investment than lower-cost Android phones. Our top iPhone list highlights the different specs, screen sizes, and price points. Each of these handsets has something to offer for every kind of Apple fan – so we've boiled down the choices for you in a simple-to-read format.
Best iPhone: which one should you buy today
The iPhone XS Max is the best iPhone you can buy right now. It's Apple's biggest and best iPhone – if your hands and wallets are large enough. It has an expansive 6.5-inch OLED screen with HDR10 support to make colors pop. It's the perfect phone if you want a giant screen. Behind that huge screen is an improved dual-lens 12MP camera. Apple outfitted it with Smart HDR and increased the sensor size to capture larger pixels. Don't let that static 12MP number fool you. The iPhone XS Max (like the XS) has new depth-sensing capabilities for adjustable bokeh (background blur) during and after a shot. The TrueDepth camera returns with faster Face ID recognition, and your 7MP selfies get better depth control and Smart HDR, too. And, of course, Animoji returns with the iOS 12 benefit of having Memoji now. The iPhone XS Max is more expensive than the iPhone X and iPhone XS that replaces the X, of course. But if you're paying for it over the course of two years in a contract (or through the Apple Upgrade Program), it's not that much more month-to-month. Read our in-depth iPhone XS Max review
Believe it or not, the iPhone XS is Apple's best 'small' phone. It has a 5.8-inch screen, so it's more one-hand-friendly than the Max, but still a sizable upgrade for some people. It's an upgrade over last year's iPhone X, our previous best iPhone recommendation, though you'll have to look more closely for the changes – the design isn't different at all. It has a Smart HDR-capable 12MP camera, enhanced TrueDepth front-facing camera, and a fast A12 Bionic chipset, exactly like the larger iPhone XS Max. In fact, this all-screen phone is pretty much the iPhone XS Max in last year's smaller form factor. It does have a smaller battery than the Max and obviously a smaller screen, but you will still capture the same great photos and videos on this device and play the same games. There's no different there. Read our in-depth iPhone XS review
The iPhone XR is a great upgrade for the average consumer who doesn't want to pay for the most expensive iPhone money (a lot of money) can buy. This is Apple's 'cheap' iPhone, at least when it comes to recently launched handsets. It's also the best iPhone of the new trio for battery life. It stands out with a variety of iPhone XR colors: Blue, White, Black, Yellow, Coral, Red. This contrasts heavily with the rather muted colors of the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Yet it shares the same internal specs: Apple's fast A12 Bionic chipset and a 12MP dual-lens camera with a single lens on back.
You don't get the dual-lens camera like you do on a higher-tier iPhone, so you miss out on telephoto shots. But Smart HDR is the real perk to taking great photos, and that's here. It's cheaper, it's more colorful and it has a big 6.1-inch screen. That's enough for most people, especially those who aren't insistent on an impressive OLED screen.

The iPhone X is as impressive as it is expensive, but if you really want the best iPhone today and don't want to wait for the iPhone XI, this is the one to get today. Millions of Apple fans already have since it launched almost seven months ago. It's the future of Apple's smartphone. It has a large all-screen display, except for a notch cutout at the top that houses a new TrueDepth Camera. This takes selfies to another level and can also map your face to an iPhone X-exclusive Animoji. If you don't know what that is by now you probably won't care. The iPhone X is Apple's 10th anniversary smartphone and has just about everything iPhone users have been asking for, from a more forward-leaning design to faster specs and new features. You'll just have to get used to Face ID instead of reaching for that non-existent fingerprint sensor. Read our in-depth iPhone X review
The iPhone 8 Plus is the best iPhone if you're not willing to take the plunge into Apple's proposed smartphone future and need that Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It remains popular due to its screen size, cheaper price and physical home button. It does have several key features you'll like, however. It's among the first iPhones to have both wireless charging and fast charging, and the camera has improved. Its dual-lens camera doesn't have OIS in the telephoto lens (a feature saved for the X), but it's still a great way to snap a photo at long distances. It won't turn nearly as many heads with its bezel-heavy design, but the iPhone 8 Plus is the iPhone built for big hands and slightly smaller wallets than the new iPhone X. Read our in-depth iPhone 8 Plus review
This is actually the best-selling iPhone from Apple, and for several good reasons. First, we get it, you refuse to budge from the 4.7-inch iPhone screen size and, frankly, we don't blame you. Every time we go back to this iPhone with 'normal' dimensions, we feel like we just went on a smartphone vacation. Second, its price is way more reasonable for a lot a folks than the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus. Just because the size is the same as iPhones of old, doesn't mean the technology behind it is, though. The iPhone 8 features the same A11 Bionic chipset as the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X, and it too debuted wireless charging and fast charging on an Apple smartphone. The camera is still fantastic, even if it doesn't have the dual-lens capabilities that are exclusive to the X and Plus, and you'll dig iOS 11 at this size more so than the even smaller iPhone SE.

Back in 2016 the iPhone 7 Plus was the best phone Apple had ever made, and it remains a winner for its longevity and price. It's larger than the iPhone X though despite its smaller display, so if you're after a smaller phone with a bigger screen, this won't be the best choice for you with its 5.5-inch 1080p display. The big upgrades over older iPhones are the waterproof design and a new dual-lens camera that allows you to snap with two 12MP lenses at the same time. It allows for better optical zoom as well as a bokeh mode to blur the background of your photos and put the main focus on the foreground. Battery life on the iPhone 7 Plus is much improved upon the iPhone 6S Plus, and while it's still a costly option it's much cheaper than it was at launch, making it one of the best iPhone choices for people looking for a deal.

Despite the iPhone SE's small size and relatively modest price tag, it's still an upper mid-range phone. It has the same boxy yet premium design as the metal-clad iPhone 5S and the same powerful Apple A9 chipset and rear camera as the iPhone 6S. It lacks the 3D Touch features and higher-resolution front-facing camera of the iPhone 6S and beyond. The screen is also less impressive all round, thanks in large part to a lower contrast ratio. But it compares well to many mid-range handsets. It's also the most powerful 4-inch iPhone you can get, so for fans of compact form factors this is an obvious choice. But the best bit is its price, as it's one of the cheapest iPhones you'll find on the market and it's something of a bargain by Apple standards. Read the iPhone SE review
Don't fancy the large iPhone 7 Plus above? Why not opt for the iPhone 7, which is a smaller and cheaper alternative. This was one of the first iPhones to lack a headphone jack, but it does come with a water-resistant design that means your phone is likely to survive the odd dip in the sink rather than just being frazzled right away. There's no dual-lens camera on the iPhone 7, but you can still take some absolutely incredible photography with the 12MP sensor. If you own an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S, you may not see much difference with the this phone but the newer processor and camera tech may be enough to entice you to buy it if you can't stomach the high price of the iPhone 8.

The iPhone 6S, as you probably know, is Apple's flagship from 2015. The Apple A9 chipset and a chunky 2GB of RAM, up from 1GB on the previous model, make it far superior in raw power to 2014's model and still reasonably speedy by today's standards, and it's got some other tricks too. It has a 12MP rear camera and a tried-and-tested 8MP front-facing camera, which at the time was the best selfie shooter Apple had on a phone. It does sport largely the same design and screen as the iPhone 6 though and the latter in particular is starting to feel a bit dated in the face of super sharp QHD screens from rivals - and from the newer iPhone X. This was the first iPhone to sport 3D Touch though, which makes the screen pressure-sensitive and offers new tricks for enhanced emailing and shortcuts around the home screen.
