Not long ago, the idea of wireless personal audio seemed downright futuristic. Now that it’s a reality, our expectations have caught up. We expect a set of Bluetooth earbuds to have a good mix of battery life, audio quality, and comfort.

As the cameras on our phones improve, the value of having a variety of lenses goes up too. Having a killer photo sensor is one thing. But being able to bend light in new ways adds whole new dimensions to your Instagram game.
Independent earpods used to be something you’d see in near-future sci-fi films. But now, they’re commonplace, and getting top shelf features like noise reduction.
There are all sorts of cool headphones out there. Headsets feature Bluetooth, noise-cancellation, with designs that are over-ear, in-ear, wireless, water-poof, and so on. These headphones from FresheTech feature most of those features, plus one you don’t see very often: bone conduction.
Having a thumb drive on hand can be useful for all sorts of things. From keeping and moving backups of documents, photos or other files, to security uses like keys, passwords and cryptocurrency storage. Of course the thumb drive you use for your USB-connected Mac isn’t likely to work with your Lightning-connected iPhone.
This week, if you’re cool with a refurb, get a great deal on an iPad or iPhone. No matter your stance on refurbished Apple gear, be sure to download Stranger Things: The Game for free!
In the plane, on the train, on the streets. When you’ve got your headphones on, you don’t want to let the outside world in. That’s why noise cancellation has been such a popular feature in recent years. But that’s not a feature you usually see on wireless headphones.
Having a powerful camera in your pocket is really handy when a great photo moment happens. A beautiful skyline, a precious family moment, a funny looking cat. But one place where you can’t reach for the phone to take a snap is when you’re underwater.
You don’t need to go to outer space to find damaging extremes of heat and cold. Just forgetting to cover your phone at the beach can fry it to the point where it goes into a coma, or worse. But just like people, a simple layer of thermal shielding can go a long way towards keeping our phones healthy.
Carrying around a bunch of mobile devices means a bunch of ways to run out of power. And in an already crowded bag, carrying enough chargers just adds to the bulkiness.
It’s a great big old world out there, but let’s face it there are enough photos of the Eiffel Tower. Meanwhile, there’s an entire universe in every park, garden, or living room at the small scale. Unfortunately, your iPhone isn’t really equipped to photograph it.
Getting to the gym is tough enough. Once you get there, it’s a whole new struggle just to keep yourself focused and pushing through your limits. Music can be a big help, but that means it can be a big bummer when your earbuds go out.
If you’ve owned more than one mobile device, you’ve had to deal with juggling different chargers. USB, USB-C, Lightning, MicroUSB. It can be tough to keep up with all the cables you need to keep our devices running.
Personal electronics are looking more and more like the shiny future we’ve been promised. Wireless devices are a big part of it. The fewer wires cluttering up our lives, the more things start to feel like the 21st century.
With Cupertino about to unleash loads of new hardware, this week’s roundup of wallet-saving Apple deals includes cables, cases, apps and more.
The iPhone democratized photography and disrupted the video and camera industry. Now a new product that plugs into the iPhone’s Lightning port aims to replace an important photographer’s tool — the handheld light meter.
The Lumu Power light meter is a small, plug-in photodiode that looks like a pingpong ball cut in half. The light meter, a product of Lumu Labs from Slovenia, rose out of a Kickstarter campaign in 2015. It’s won favorable reviews from photographers and photo websites as the company works to improve the companion app.
One of the biggest reasons we use smartphones is to share media. But the increasing fidelity of pictures, videos, and other media is outpacing network speeds. You can try texting a 4K video to a friend, but make sure you’ve got a good book to read while you wait.

If you’re an iPhone photographer with olloclip lenses, you’re pretty serious about your mobile image captures.
olloclip and big-name accessories brand Incase partnered with you in mind for a limited-edition Filmer’s Kit that became available today at Apple stores worldwide.
You can make great photos and videos with just an iPhone. There is nothing fake about that statement. Thousands of great iPhone photos appear on our camera rolls and Instagram feeds every day to prove it.
Nevertheless, a recent YouTube video suggested Apple uses more than just iPhones to create its “Shot on iPhone” commercials. The video quickly went viral. Headlines it generated sowed seeds of doubt about the authenticity of Apple’s claims.
So, are we really getting the great camera Apple says it puts in its iPhones?
We’ve got a mix of hardware, accessories and downloads this week. So whether you need an iPad, a charging cable, a game or a MacBook Pro, check out this week’s best Apple deals.
Part of the appeal of having an iPhone is its slender figure. It feels great in hand, can sit in a pocket without looking funny, and fit in any bag. That makes it annoying when you buy a backup battery that’s got the look and feel of a brick.
Boomboxes were a big deal when they first came out. Suddenly, anyone could take big sound around wherever they went. Even now in the age of Bluetooth and streaming, it’s hard to go wrong with a solid portable speaker.
Our iPhones are beautiful and fragile devices. If you’re not crazy, you protect yours with a sturdy case. But even with a ‘premium’ case, you can never be quite sure that your phone won’t break into pieces when the big drop comes.
