Last week in tech: Apple's iPhone 11, Land Rover's

new Defender, and Nintendo's weird controller


Nothing dominates a week of tech news
quite like an iPhone launch event. This week,
Apple unleashed a bevy of new products,
including the iPhone 11 (which comes in
standard and Pro versions), as well as the
Apple Watch 5, a new $329 iPad, and details
about its upcoming services like Apple TV+
and Apple Arcade. You can catch up on all
the specifics in our event post.
Four of the best printers for your home office

The Brother Laser Printer is a solid option if you’re looking for a basic black and
white printer and don’t need a scanner (you can always use your phone). It’s not
too bulky or delicate and can print double-sided. The standard cartridge (which
comes separately) will print a whopping 1,200 pages. If you just need to print
boarding passes and work documents, this is a good bet.
Your browser doesn't have to be boring

You probably use your web browser daily for both work and play, but you don't have to just
accept your window onto the web as it was when you first installed it. Each popular browser
actually offers fairly extensive customization options you should really be taking advantage
of.Whether you want easier access to a much-used browser extension, or you've gotten tired of
your browser’s default colors, you can tweak the individual interfaces of Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, Apple’s Safari, and Microsoft Edge in numerous ways.
Sonos Move speaker review: Great sound in a semi-
portable package

On-paper, the Sonos Move speaker doesn’t make a ton of sense. It’s a portable speaker that weighs six pounds
and promises just 10 hours of battery life—when some of its competition claim more than double that number. At
10 inches tall and six-inches around, it’s too big to easily stuff into a typical day bag or backpack. And it costs
$400, which is extremely high if you’re only comparing it to other Bluetooth speakers Listen to music on the Move,
however, and its purpose becomes much clearer. Inside your house, the Move works just as you’d expect with a
Sonos product. It connects to networks and devices easily to a , it sounds great (more on that in a moment), and it
even looks good in a distinguished way that eschews some of the loud graphic styling and flashing UFO lights
some other companies seem to love putting on their portable speakers.
QLED 8K, the Next Generation of TV: Here’s Why

Seconds after I posted a picture of Samsung’s 85-inch 8K TV on Twitter from IFA


in Berlin, the haters came raining down on me with comments about how silly 8K
was and conspiracy theories about planned obsolescence. Later, I made my case
for the new technology in an op-ed entitled “8K is the next big thing in TV. Get
over it,” and you as you can imagine, the response was similar.
Facebook's new Portal video chat devices are smaller,
cheaper, and facing stiffer competition
This morning, Facebook announced updates to itsPortal line of video chat devices
and dropped the prices on its existing gadgets. The Portals, for the most part,
provide a permanent video chat hub integrated with some voice assistant features.
The line debuted last year, but it landed hot on the heels of some of the
company's biggest privacy scandals. They were also rather pricey. The $199
standard model with a 10-inch screen wasn't a bad deal, but the luxurious Portal+,
which added fancy features like a rotating base and face tracking to follow you
around as you chat, demanded a high price tag of $349. And with recent additions
to the video chat/smart screen space from Google and Amazon, we could be
getting closer to widespread adoption.
