Another day, another video leak of the iPhone 8 - Apple hasn't even confirmed the phone is on the way, but we already know a ton of details about the upcoming handset, and the new clip confirms a lot of the earlier rumors that have already been swirling.
Posted by YouTuber EverythingApplePro, the video shows a high-quality dummy model supposedly provided to case manufacturers by Apple, in order that they can get their new designs ready for the phone's launch. So, this isn't actually a proper iPhone 8, but it's more or less what the iPhone 8 will look like.
As with previous leaks, we get a good look at the large front display with barely a bezel to be seen, and the vertically aligned dual-lens camera around the back, which is apparently going to help with Apple's push into the field of augmented reality.
The device shown here is wider than the iPhone 7, but not by much, and there's no sign of a home button, which suggests Apple has worked out how to embed its Touch ID technology under the display - reportedly one of the biggest engineering challenges with its flagship phone this year.
As exciting as the video clip is to watch, it doesn't actually tell us all that much that's new. Nevertheless, it lends credibility to other leaks we've seen over the last few weeks, and makes us almost certain that this is the iPhone 8's final form.
There's still plenty of mystery surrounding Apple's plans for September, with some analysts hinting that the company will also release minor upgrades in the form of an iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus, as well as introducing new technology like wireless charging. In a couple of months, we should know for sure.
The Google Chromecast is not only one of the most useful and innovative gadgets of the last few years, it's also dazzlingly cheap. And if you're looking to pick one up for the cheapest possible price, you've come to the right place! We usually see some decent discounts at this time of year too.
Chromecast is a Wi-Fi HDMI dongle that you plug directly into your TV. From there you can use your smartphone or tablet to 'throw' video at your TV over Wi-Fii, whether it be Netflix movies, live football matches from the major broadcasters or simply just a funny YouTube video. On this page we'll find you the best prices for the Chromecast Ultra, Chromecast 2 (or just Chromecast now) and Chromecast Audio and explain how they differ.
With prices already incredibly cheap, there's no need to hang on for the Black Friday deals. If you'd prefer to stream content from a standalone box, you should take a look at the latest Roku deals.
This one's easy. The standard price for a Chromecast 2 is $35 in the USA and £30 in the UK. You should never, ever pay more than that because you can always find one for that price.
The Chromecast 2, or 'new Chromecast' as it's also known, is very similar to the now discontinued 2013 Chromecast. Sure, it looks a little different. And it's got slightly faster network performance and a few other tweaks such as coming with a dangly cable instead of as a rigid stick. But essentially the same product in a different shape - that's why the prices were basically the same. If you can find one for the same price, get this new one.
While it doesn't offer true multi-room streaming at the moment (fingers crossed that comes soon), this easy-to-use and affordable device modernizes any trusty set of wired speakers you already own with wireless capabilities. In doing so, it also opens them up to features that will grow and get even better over time. Got an old set of speakers or an ancient iPod dock? Turn it into a wireless speaker with Chromecast Audio!
The 4K Chromecast Ultra is the newest member of the Chromecast family. If you have a 4K TV or are planning on getting one, it's certainly worth picking one of these up. The Chromecast Ultra is a cheaper alternative to Amazon's Fire TV or the US-only Roku 4 for getting 4K content on your TV. Chromecast Ultra deals are usually around £69/$69, so anything cheaper is an added bonus.

At the start of May we got word that LG might be working on a mini version of its flagship LG G6 phone - one that would reduce the screen size from 5.7 inches to 5.4 inches, and keep the 18:9 aspect ratio - but back then we weren't sure whether the project was still alive or had been abandoned by LG.
Enter one of our favorite (and most reliable) phone tipsters, Evan Blass, who this weekend tweeted confirmation that the phone is real. It's apparently now looking for regulatory approval and will be called the LG Q6.
Blass also reveals that the phone will be downgraded to a single 13MP camera and will come with 3GB of RAM on board. The screen aspect ratio, meanwhile, will get a slight tweak to 18.5:9 - almost the same as the LG G6, but exactly the same as the ratio Samsung used in the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus this year.
Unfortunately we don't get any mention of any other specs, so we're left to guess - presumably the phone is going to come with the same Snapdragon 821 processor as its immediate predecessor, even if the rest of the specs (and price) get chopped down.
Only one camera lens means none of the wide-angle trickery of the full LG G6 but we're thinking that most people can probably live without that in return for saving a bit of cash. We're hoping that the bezels are just as squeezed on the new handset, but we'll have to wait on see on that and many other details.
LG has released mini versions of its phones in the past and obviously feels it's one way to pick up some traction in a market dominated by Samsung and Apple in terms of sales - as well as appealing to those with smaller hands, obviously. As and when we hear anything else about the LG Q6, we'll let you know.
