The yen is collapsing and so is the price of the iPhone 13

As the yen plummets in Japan, the price of the iPhone 13 drops $200, prompting tourists to flock to Apple Stores to take advantage of the lower price. The Apple smartphone, available in France from 909 euros, is sold for 690 euros in the Japanese archipelago. To limit excessive purchases by tourists, Apple has canceled the tax rebate allowing foreign buyers to benefit from tax advantages when purchasing from Japanese Apple Stores.

EA annoys players again

EA has created a new controversy with a bad joke shared on Twitter. The editor thought it funny to post “It’s a 10, but he/she only plays single player games”, implying that multiplayer games are the only ones worth it. It was enough to raise the anger of the twittosphere. The gaming community quickly retaliated by reminding EA of the many failures of its own multiplayer games.

Our tests of the week

5/5 for the Huawei Matebook 16s

In addition to a high price and not always useful preinstalled software, the Matebook 16s is very convincing. This new 16-inch computer with a neat design has an excellent screen, a keyboard and a trackpad that are very pleasant to use and offers very good battery life. Huawei takes up the challenge of offering a Matebook that strikes the perfect balance between power, display quality and portability. What in particular to convince the professionals of the image… but not only!

The Volkswagen ID. 5 GTX left us hungry…

Even though the ID. 5 GTX has a nice line and that we are well installed in it, this new 100% electric Volkswagen SUV does not offer great improvements compared to its predecessor, the ID.4. We particularly regret the ergonomic flaws. We recognize that version 3.0 of the software brings a real plus, but that does not justify the price increase, since the new vehicle of the German brand is now displayed at 59,000 euros.

Satisfactory experience with the Motorola Edge 30

The Edge 30 is attractive thanks to its particularly thin design, its beautiful screen, its excellent interface and its price which has not increased compared to that of its predecessor, which is rare enough to raise. Only real downside, autonomy, far too low in daily use. If the new Motorola offers good photo results with its main sensor, its macro mode or its night mode, we regret the poor quality of the digital zoom photos and the abandonment of the microphone for video capture.
