Everything I've tested.

A fun live-concert playground, held back by a very limited music selection.

A deep VR drawing app where you can walk around other artists' 3D creations.

A VR biology app that takes you through blood vessels and organs.

Better than expected, a soothing VR app built from the ground up, despite some pop-in.

Comfortable and ergonomic, with an inside trigger you squeeze to grab objects.

Impressed him more than expected, with customisable and incredibly relaxing sessions.

A dream theme park in VR that surprised him with its immersion.

Feels like a tech demo, but the physics are high quality and he spent ages playing with it.

A forceful alarm app that can text someone in your house to wake you if you keep snoozing.

His number one pick, a fun running game with audio story and GPS zombie chases that is also genuinely useful.

Tells film fans when it is safe to nip to the toilet without missing the plot.

A set of abstract wordplay puzzles that make each win feel earned.

A chat room only open when your battery is at five percent or less, which he finds hilarious rather than useful.

Finds combinations of local trains that can roughly halve the fare, though journeys take longer.

A bold, bright icon pack that looks great with the right launcher and wallpaper.

A creepy platformer where you scream a floating head forward, with sarcastic comments about how cheery it is.

An interactive fractal generator he found calming and enjoyable, with handy built-in sharing.

A shared whiteboard lock screen that groups can all edit, handy for quick reminders.

Won the test with Touch ID that guides your hand into place and unlocks very quickly, which impressed him.

An iconic and influential phone, but it feels slow, awkward to hold and poor in camera and display quality by modern standards.

A pocket screen cleaner that wipes away fingerprints and smudges quickly, and got surprising reactions from people he showed it to.

A simple four USB-A plus one USB-C charger that he calls one of the best current ways to charge all your devices at once.

The wireless charger he would pick if he used one, with USB-C input, a second USB port and fabric finish, but not cheap.

A car-key-style remote that controls playback, volume and the camera shutter.
