A [new report suggests]( that the iPhone 14 Pro's 120Hz ProMotion and Always-On Display features won't be making the jump down the lineup for iPhone 15. Why does it matter? The iPhone 15 will likely get Dynamic Island, but might not get all the features enjoyed by Pro users. What's my take? Apple will be lining-up to launch new versions of the iPhone - probably in September 2023 - but it faces a situation when it comes to differentiation between models. We've seen this situation before, with the company looking to draw out differences between its regular and Pro models. In 2022, that was more pronounced with the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro models getting different core hardware - and the display might be added to that list. So, while you might now get Dynamic Island on the more affordable device, you might find some other features remain absent. That's driven less by any technical reason, but by that need to have distinct tiers in product offerings.  A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSOR Get 2023's best EZVIZ smart home gear EZVIZ It's that time of the year when spring cleaning and home improvement is on the menu - meaning that it's time to check your home appliances and do some upgrades.

But, when the Beam arrived, followed by the Move, the argument for a straight-up replacement of the living room speaker dwindled slightly, much to our disappointment. That's all about to change - finally - as there is now a solid substitute for the Play:3. The Sonos Era 300 is one of two speakers within the new Era range. Our quick verdict The Sonos Era 300 has a unique design. Some will love it, others might not be so sure, but you can't deny it's different and we love a bit of different. It's not just about what it looks like though. From what we have heard so far, the Era 300 sounds great and it's packed full of features, including Bluetooth and Dolby Atmos support.
