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

New iPhone 15 rumors, Meta Quest 3 unboxing, more AI in Windows 11 Created for {EMAIL} | [Web Version]( August 25, 2023 CONNECT WITH TECH RADAR  [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [Youtube]( [Tech Radar]( [SIGN UP]( ⋅ [WEBSITE](  [] Welcome to the Week in Review [] Welcome We're in the last week of August now, which means the launch of the iPhone 15 is so close we can almost touch its smooth, aluminum sides. Well, unless as rumored they end up being made from titanium. Anyway, as has been the case for a while now, Apple's plans for its new flagship phone have dominated our thoughts in the phone space, and you can find out the latest about it below. If you'd rather hold on to your existing iPhone than upgrade to a flashy new model, however, we have good news for you too, because it seems Apple is finally embracing the right to repair movement. Will the rest of the phone world follow suit? Where Apple leads, it usually does. Just to prove that there's more to tech than Apple (even in late August), we're also quite excited by the latest leak of the Meta Quest 3 VR headset. No, it doesn't tell us a lot about the forthcoming device, but it's enough to whet the appetite. And yes, we know Apple is also moving into the AR/VR space with the Vision Pro, but that's one area where it doesn’t command the headlines this week.
