Despite launching later than supposed to, and despite the premium prices, the iPhone 12 devices saw tremendous sales so far, fueling in part Apple’s record numbers during the December quarter. The cheapest iPhone 12 mini hasn’t been as successful as anticipated, but the more expensive Pro versions turned out to outperform estimates. Consumer Reports agrees …
Two weeks after the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max launched, Consumer Reports has named the most expensive model the best phone on the market.

Over the years, Tesla’s relationship with Consumer Reports has been shaky at best. Complicating matters is that some of Consumer Reports’ own findings and reports have presented seemingly conflicting information at times.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise if you’ve kept up with Consumer Reports’ smartphone ratings over the past few years, but Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and S9+ have tied for the top spot in the most recent ratings. Last weekend, the group revealed that, despite the Galaxy S9 and S9+ failing to significantly improve …
Apple already sold millions of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus units, but launch weekend estimates fell short of what’s expected from typical iPhone launches. It’s not that the iPhone is losing its appeal all of a sudden, but this year isn’t a usual one for Apple. The best iPhone of 2017 hasn’t even launched …
Consumer Reports earlier this week came out with a survey that says Surface owners are more likely to discover failures and errors as their computer approaches its two-years anniversary. The consumer advocacy group pulled the Surface’s “recommended” rating as a result. After disputing Consumer Reports’ findings in a short statement, Microsoft posted a blog post …
