<\/a><\/p>\nWe get new smartphones on a yearly basis, but 2015 will have a particularly good line-up with new devices from Apple, Samsung, LG, HTC and Sony.<\/p>\n
Apple\u2019s new smartphone is likely to be an updated version of the iPhone 6 (think the iPhone 5s), with minor upgrades that\u2019ll still have people camping outside their local Apple Store on a cold September night.<\/p>\n
Samsung, meanwhile, will unveil the long awaited Samsung Galaxy S6. Details are very, very thin on the ground at this point, but we imagine it\u2019ll have a humungous screen and be made of lovely metal instead of plastic.<\/p>\n
Joining them will be the HTC One M9, LG G4 and Sony Xperia Z4. It might be time to start thinking about trading in your phone<\/a>…<\/p>\n People have been banging on about the Oculus Rift for ages now, yet the general public are still to experience the wonders of virtual reality. 2015 could be the year that changes, however.<\/p>\n The VR headset, which has predominately been marketed for gamers but will have countless other applications too, is \u201cmonths, not years\u201d\u009d away according to Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe. There\u2019s no exact release date yet, but late 2015 is likely.<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s smartwatch was confirmed for a 2015 release at the iPhone 6 launch event<\/a>, although there hasn\u2019t been much news on it since.<\/p>\n A number of release dates have been mooted, although \u201d\u02dcearly 2015\u2019 is about as specific as Apple are getting. It definitely won\u2019t be out in January or February, according to Macworld<\/a>, which means March is the earliest the watch will hit shelves.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unlikely to be cheap, either. Apple is reportedly hunting for employees with experience in the fashion and luxury sectors to sell the watch<\/a>, which suggests that it\u2019ll be priced closer to a Rolex than a Casio.<\/p>\n You can find out more about the Apple Watch by reading our surprisingly easy guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n Forget the Xbox One and the PS4; the Steam Box <\/a>(or Steam Machine; there’s no official name yet) is the console that will change gaming forever.<\/p>\n 2015 could be the year that Valve finally launches their long-awaited console, which plays PC games using the Steam OS (basically iTunes for games) without going through the ordeal of building your own computer.<\/p>\n Valve is notoriously tight-lipped about ongoing projects – Half Life 3, for example, has been in development for ages yet people know next to nothing about it (apart from the fact it\u2019s taking far too long to come out) – but the onus might not necessarily be on them to reveal all the info on the new console. They’re only designing the software, with various hardware manufacturers creating the actual machines on which the Steam OS will run. It’s more or less the same deal as the numerous Android consoles that came out over the past few years.<\/p>\n The good news is that all signs point to the console being released in some form this year: Valve undertook a last minute redesign of the Steam Controller<\/a> earlier this year which pushed its release back to 2015.<\/p>\n
