America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition
Amateur Photographer
|August 26, 2025
Let's be clear: America's Cup. Marc Newson Art Edition is not a book, it's a broadside. A glorified trophy disguised as a publication. Yours for £12,500 - that's a year's rent, a used van, or about 3,000 issues of AP. Full disclosure - I didn't receive a press review copy.

Published by TASCHEN, a house not unfamiliar with artistic audacity, the 7.65kg book comes sheathed in cotton sailcloth, fastened by a custom Louis Vuitton clasp, and hoisted onto a 9.8kg carbon-fibre stand designed by Newson that resembles the keel of a sailboat. Limited to 175 signed copies, it's less coffee-table book and more ode to privilege with a press release - ideal for displaying somewhere between the wine cellar and helipad.

Polaroid Flip
The Polaroid Flip is a great camera - it really shows how far we've come in terms of a brand that almost disappeared from existence.

Smartphone makers take the long view
It's also been a busy year for smartphone makers, particularly in the hyper-competitive Android market. Beyond Al features, slimmer dimensions and beefed-up battery life, some cool technology came to the fore, exemplified by the Oppo Find X9 Pro. As well as being able to capture still photos at 50MP by default on all three rear cameras, a new Hasselblad Hi Res mode enables you to shoot 200MP still images. While this feature might seem overkill for a comparatively small phone sensor, it gives lots of cropping flexibility.
