Rockstar has taken to Twitter to address a major leak of [Grand Theft Auto 6]( assets and code, which hit the internet over the weekend. Why does it matter? Grand Theft Auto is one of the biggest game franchises and the anticipation for GTA 6 is huge. What's my take? No company likes a leak and for a game as big as Grand Theft Auto, this is the worst news for Rockstar. Leaks are a double-edged sword - on one hand they whet the appetite, but on the other, they don't show a final product with all the polish you'd expect. For Rockstar, there's the bigger question over how this hack was able to happen in the first place. While the developer tries to clean up the damage, we did learn that it appears that the action will be back in Vice City. We're not interested in the visuals right now, we're happy to reminisce about our previous adventures in Rockstar's equivalent of New York and anticipate returning soon. This is the year the iPhone 14 Pro model makes complete sense POCKET-LINT What's happened? This year, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are the models that are undeniably, unmistakably, Pro - and hands down [the models to buy](. Why does it matter? In the past, the Pro models were more of a nice-to-have than a need-to-have. Despite being excellent devices, we wouldn't always have recommended them over the standard models, because the extras you got weren't necessarily worth the dent in your wallet. What's my take? Britta has been reviewing the new 2022 iPhone models over the past couple of weeks, getting a flavour of what these devices are actually like to live with. In previous years, we'd always questioned whether the "Pro" was really a pro model at all, considering the regular phone was essentially the same core hardware, with only a few differences. For 2022, however, the gap has widened, with the regular iPhone 14 barely different to the iPhone 13 - leaving the iPhone 14 Pro to take a much bigger step forward. That's why she recommends that's the model you should be looking at - or you might as well grab an iPhone 13 and save yourself some money. A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR Unparalleled device charging: UGREEN has announced the Nexode 140W GaN Charger UGREEN The Nexode 140W is the latest in the line of chargers from UGREEN. As the name indicates, the device has a charging power of 140 watts, which might sound too much even for charging a powerful laptop. But the massive power output makes sense once you discover a great feature of the Nexode 140W - it can charge three devices at once.

The Acer Swift 5 makes a great first impression, with an well-considered design and a solid luxury feel. It has a 12th Gen Intel i7 onboard, so it should be quite the performer, too. However, with its substantial price tag comes some serious competition from the likes of the Dell XPS 13 and Apple MacBook Air. Our quick verdict If you want a gorgeous-looking laptop that'll handle some serious work, the Acer Swift 5 could be the laptop for you. It's compact, well-built and easy to live with. There are a few shortcomings, but it's a solid all-rounder in most regards.
