Although Apple certainly had its reasons for discontinuing the Touch Bar, some users do miss it. I got my hands on a Flexbar unit to see what it’s like to use something like the Touch Bar again.

Apple is reportedly developing a new smart home product, a “pricey tabletop home device that combines an iPad-like display with a robotic limb.” The display would use robotics to swivel around and follow your movement. This all sounds a bit over-engineered and overpriced. It also sounds an awful lot like another product that Apple already sells today, powered by an underused iOS 17 feature: DockKit.

Every year, more and more people are given the ability to work remotely.

The iPhone is not only the most used camera in the world, it’s also a tremendous device for shooting video. You can use it to shoot a short film, music video, an Apple event—or, of course, YouTube videos.

Here’s some of the best gear for shooting video on your iPhone.

ESR first came on to my radar with their excellent iPad Pro magnetic stand/case combos, and the company makes some of the best iPhone chargers too.

I’ve recently become a big fan of ESR’s 3-in-1 travel charger for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods, which I’ve found fits in just as well at home as on the road. Its elegant design paired with the MagSafe-like Qi2 benefits make for a winning combo.

Charging your devices should be easy and produce minimal clutter in your life. That’s why 3-in-1 wireless chargers are so popular. Having one charger that works for your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once is truly the dream.

That’s why I was thrilled to discover this GETPALS charger that checks all the boxes of what I’ve been looking for, and at a ridiculously low price.
