If flagship devices are more your speed, Apple has also introduced the new iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max alongside the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. It also has that squared-off design, which marks the handset's first significant redesign since the bezel-less iPhone X was introduced in 2017. 

Both phones are bigger than the previous generation Pro smartphones, with the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max being the biggest Apple iPhone to date. But there's still no 120Hz support here, unfortunately. Unlike the aluminum build of the iPhone 12, both come in a stainless steel design available in grey, stainless steel, gold, and blue.

Google's new Nest Thermostat is its cheapest yet

The new Nest Thermostat's launch isn't a surprise. We've even heard it supports gesture controls. Now, that rumoured smart thermostat is official, and it's Google's most affordable model yet. In Canada, it retails for $179.99, which is well below the Nest Learning Thermostat's $329 price tag or even below the Thermostat E's $229 price.

It looks similar to the previous models' rounded design, but this Nest Thermostat has a mirrored display and updated controls. Instead of gesture control, it has a "swipe and tap" touch interface on the side instead of a thermostat dial. The integrated Soli chip helps detect motion. Soli allows this smart thermostat to automatically switch between settings since it can detect nearby activity.
