Tech enthusiasts, hold on to your hard drives – this year is set to be one of the most exciting years for leaps in mobile and computer technology. Samsung is perfecting the folding screen, Apple has found a way to revolutionise the computer processor, and powerful devices that until recently we could only dream of are becoming more affordable. Here are some of the top tech trends to look out for.
It used to be the case that if you used a laptop for more than just basic word processing, then you’d need to be able to plug in to recharge fairly frequently. With the huge advancements that Apple has made with the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chips, it’s now possible to take your laptop away for the weekend and leave the charger at home, or edit photos and videos from a shoot on location, far away from power points. This is also great for students in lecture halls who don’t always have convenient access to power.
Thinking of upgrading to a new computer? You can experience this convenience now with the M3 Apple MacBook Pro.
The metaverse is essentially a combination of various technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), that create a virtual world where users can interact and experience things as they would in the real world.
“And as the big tech companies find more opportunities to expand and incorporate the metaverse into their products and experiences, we’re going to need to get on board or be left behind,” says Jason Tavoletti, The Good Guys Buyer – Tech.
“The metaverse offers so many opportunities for business and leisure that everyone can be excited about. These advancements will require more powerful computers, and devices with LiDAR sensors, which use light to measure the distance between objects to improve AR experiences.”
Unleash the power of VR with the PlayStation VR2.
Folding screens burst onto the scene a few years ago, with the original Samsung Galaxy Fold, and that’s only going to continue in 2024. More companies will get on board with this convenient technology that allows people to carry larger screens in smaller spaces. If you are considering upgrading to a new mobile phone, this could be the one.
“Folding devices really open up more potential for how we can use and transport larger screens, allowing people to make the most of their productivity and leisure times,” says award-winning technology writer Alice Clarke.
Shop the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6.
5G mobile connectivity has the power to change the world. It allows for faster speeds and more simultaneous connections. That means better gaming experiences and a generally better experience of using mobile internet. It also means you’re more likely to be able to successfully send a text at the grand final, because it’s a technology that allows more people to be connected.
You can experience the joys of 5G now with an Apple iPhone 15 and a plan with Telstra, Australia’s largest and most reliable mobile network, available from The Good Guys.
Major tech companies are stepping up and doing their part for the planet by not only making it easier for you to recycle your device, but actually re-using those parts in their latest releases. Keep an eye out for devices that are easier to repair, from companies that use renewable energy, and make sure their packaging is reusable and recyclable. Do your part and recycle your old device at The Good Guys, regardless of where you purchased it from. Alternatively, Trade-In to trade up to something new at The Good Guys and receive an instant gift card to spend on your next purchase.
Our devices hold so much of our lives that more people are recognising the importance of keeping them secure. Samsung uses Knox, which is a defence-grade security platform, on their devices. Apple has made huge strides in not only making sure your device is kept safe with Face ID, but also allowing you to stop websites from tracking you for advertising (and other nefarious purposes) and ensuring your Siri requests and other processes are done on device, so they’re never sent to the cloud.
In 2024, there will also be more education on using password managers for stronger password protection, like Apple’s iCloud Keychain, 1Password and Norton 360.
