For the last several years, I’ve created a wish list of features I’d like to see in the next iPhone. Inevitably, when that new iPhone is unveiled it’s missing about half the “most-wanted” items on the list, leaving them to be carried over to the following year’s iPhone. It’s hard then not to look at the new Samsung Galaxy S7 …

Back in early January I wrote an article asking “Would it be a mistake for Apple to remove the headphone jack on the iPhone 7?” It was based on a rumor that Apple was planning to do away with the 3.5mm headphone on the iPhone 7, likely to be released this fall, and would steer people toward using wireless headphones …

Nike Vision has a new line of sunglasses out for runners this spring, and the top-end Vaporwing Elite and Vaporwing will run you $395 (about £275 or AU$560).

US retailers Best Buy and Target have both chopped the price of both the Steel and Sport versions of the Apple Watch by $100. This is no Black Friday deal, folks. The discount appears to be more permanent and we should see more retailers offering deep discounts on the Watch in the coming weeks. The reason for it seems pretty …

Otterbox has a new Statement Series case for the iPhone 6/6S that looks both cool and a little odd at the same time. That’s because two-thirds of the case on the back is translucent but the lower-third is covered in swanky premium leather. Usually Otterbox cases have a good-sized Otterbox logo on the case, but the Statement makes a statement …

Mophie may be known for its smartphone battery cases, but it’s now making a big push into external battery chargers with an expanded line of slim Powerstation products. Available in multiple battery sizes (1X, 2X, 3X, 5X, 8X) the new chargers start at $40 and sport a premium aluminum finish.

Most Apple customers feel pretty good about the products in Apple’s online store. They generally rate them pretty highly — most products have ratings between 3 and 4.5 stars out of 5.
