The Twelve Tech Gifts Of Christmas

Whether you’re a tech aficionado or you’re shopping for one, ’tis the season to give a gadget to a loved one. But what’s best on the market? Here, SIM-only mobile provider spusu, wraps up the twelve must-have tech gifts this Christmas.

iPhone 15

Starting off with one of the most highly anticipated device launches of 2023 — the iPhone 15. Apple products are always high on a tech lover’s wish list, so what makes the iPhone 15 worth buying?

With a USB-C port, an interactive screen cutout instead of a plain notch, improved chip and 48 mega pixel camera, the 15 model boasts a significant quality boost compared with 2022’s iPhone 14. The 14’s camera is twelve mega pixels and, while you’ll still take some quality shots with it, treating your loved one to the newest model will help them capture even better-zoomed shots, low-light snaps, and stablisation across video and stills. Perfect for photographers on the go.

Kindle Paperwhite

For bookworms, the Kindle Paperwhite is a great gift. The device boasts thinner borders, adjustable warm light, up to ten weeks of battery life and 20 per cent faster page turns compared to the previous generation. The 300 ppi glare-free display reads like real paper — even in sunlight —meaning readers can enjoy their books outside without squinting to see the pages.
The 16GB version means thousands of books can be stored in one place, saving space on bookshelves and bedside tables. Prices start from £179.99 for the new generation.

AirPods

The latest, third generation of wireless Apple earphones use Personalised Spatial Audio for more immersive sound. As with all AirPods, pressing the AirPod once pauses the media, but now pressing and holding the AirPod enables Siri for song requests or even directions.
Third generation AirPods also offer improved battery life, with up to six hours of listening time on a single charge — perfect for long distance travelling. For use when exercising, third generation AirPods are sweat and water resistant. An acoustic mesh covers the inset microphone in each AirPod to further enhance sound quality and minimise wind noise when you’re on a call. Plus, all AirPod cases can be accessorised, adding a lovely personal touch.
Prices start from £169 for 3rd generation and £229 for 2nd generation.

AirTag

How many times have you misplaced your phone? Do you get anxiety wondering whether your luggage will turn up when travelling? AirTags make a great choice for those who are constantly losing their belongings, often on the move or want to track valuable items.
AirTags can be placed inside luggage or laptop bags, attached to phones and cameras and tracked via the user’s iPhone. When in close range, the tag can be found through a live tracker, which is so accurate it tells you how many yards away the device is and in which direction. Prices start from £35 from Apple, making the AirTag a more affordable tech gift.

Wireless charging station
For lovers of lots of tech, a wireless charging station is a smart alternative to having multiple devices plugged in at once,
Belkin provides a vast range of charging stations, including its three-in-one station that charges iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods at once, providing they contain MagSafe. Many of its chargers are Android compatible with Galaxy and Samsung devices and cater to multiple device specifications. Prices range from £99.99 to £139.99.

FitBit Charge 6

The FitBit Charge 6 does it all and is a great choice for anyone who wants more insight into their health and exercise habits. From monitoring heart rate and skin temperature, the Charge 6 can even perform an ECG scan.

With seven days of battery life, up to 50 metres deep water resistance, and integrated GPS, it’s perfect for frequent runners, swimmers and everyone in between. The Charge 6 offers 20 new exercise modes including surfing, skiing, CrossFit and HIIT and is compatible with iOS 15 and Android OS 9.0.

Google Pixel Fold

The Google Pixel Fold offers the best of both worlds — a phone and a tablet in one.

When folded, it acts as a 5.8" Pixel phone. When it’s unfolded, the device has a 7.6" immersive display, perfect for watching videos or playing games. The split screen lets you do two things at once on the go, and the Fold still boasts the infamous quality of the 48 MP Pixel camera with a 10.8-MP ultrawide with 5X optical zoom.

Apple Pencil

The Apple Pencil 2nd generation is a sleek tool that eliminates finger tapping with a touch sensitive pencil, without lag.

Features include magnetic attachment with compatible iPads, wireless charging and pairing and the Pencil is compatible with Apple Smart Keyboard, as well as third-party Bluetooth ones. It’s ideal for creatives who use their iPad to draw and design — allowing precise actions and greater control compared to what the touch of a finger can do. Prices start from £139.

MetaQuest 2

For the gamers, virtual reality is the next step to full immersion. MetaQuest 2 is one of the most popular VR headsets on the market, and for good reason.
MetaQuest is noted as one of the most comfortable headsets and is completely wireless, unlike the PSVR headset. The 128GB version starts from £299.99, while the 256GB version starts from £349.99.

Arlo doorbell

There are many video doorbells on the market, but the Arlo camera is gift worthy this Christmas. This doorbell offers a square viewing angle with 1: 1 aspect ratio, meaning you can see even more from your front door. With the help of 1080p HD video with HDR and night vision, higher quality means it’s easier to see who’s at the door.

In addition, the contact can also be directed to a mobile phone, making it easier to answer the doorbell wherever you are. The only catch with Arlo is that it must be installed via wires, unlike other popular options. But this means it works 24/7 and doesn’t run out of battery. Prices start from £125.99.

Echo Show 15

House proud people will appreciate a smart device. The Amazon Echo Show 15 is a smart assistant that serves as a digital calendar, weather channel, Google search engine, personal calendar and music player all in one.
The Echo Show 15 is Amazon's biggest smart display with a 15.6-inch screen and can be hung on a wall horizontally or vertically and supports Fire TV. Starting from £269.99, it’s an investment for home tech lovers.

JBL Charge 5

With an IF Design Award 2022, the JBL Charge 5 is perfect for party animals and music lovers. With 20 hours of playtime, and a waterproof and dustproof exterior, this speaker means music can be enjoyed safely outdoors — perfect for both festive and summer parties!
