Week in Review: The top stories in phones, computing and more

iPhone 15 rumors, better social media, DJI's new drone and more Created for {EMAIL} | [Web Version]( April 28, 2023 CONNECT WITH TECH RADAR  [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [Youtube]( [Tech Radar]( [SIGN UP]( ⋅ [WEBSITE]( ADVERTISEMENT Welcome to the Week in Review [] Welcome Technology is at its best when it's not just innovating but competing or starting anew. This week we saw the introduction of the Asus Rog Ally, a Steam Deck / Nintendo Switch competitor. It’s got the looks and Windows 11 power to move the needle, but I hear the heat may be a problem. In the mess that's known as social media, we see a spark of excitement and new life in Jack Dorsey’s Bluesky, which just arrived on iOS and Android. It’s a lot like Twitter circa 2009 (and without Elon Musk, nothing like the Twitter of 2023) but when it's full of regular people will the excitement wear off? I also got excited about the new DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone and its three cameras; as News Editor and photography expert Mark Wilson described it, it's essentially a flying smartphone. There are a lot more highlights to get to from this week, so let's get started.
