On this episode of Digital Trends Live, hosts Greg Nibler and Adrien Warner tackle the biggest news from the world of tech. The news of the day? The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is on the way, and we had a chance to try it out. Our thoughts? It’s big, it’s beautiful, but why did they have to take the headphone jack away? Also, Subway is trying to fix its downward slide with a meatless meatball sub, Google’s AR walking directions are coming to additional phones, and more.
Later in the show, Nibler spoke to Dallas Lawrence, chief brand and communication officer at OpenX, about the future of the streaming wars and ad-supported content.
Nibler also talked to Jon Weinberg of Karuna Labs about the fascinating ways virtual reality tech is being used in medicine.
You may have heard about cocktails in a can, but what about cocktails in a pod? Ryan Close, CEO of Bartesian, visits the New York City studio to talk about the company’s automated cocktail system, which produces single-serving drinks with the touch of a button.
We shouldn’t fall into the easy trap of passing the new MagSafe for iPhone technology off as merely a branding exercise dripping in nostalgia to titillate long-term Mac fans. There are two reasons why. First, it may become one of the most interesting and innovative “Made for iPhone” official accessory ranges we’ve seen since the beginning of the program itself.
Second, we should also remember it’s the latest weapon in Apple’s ecosystem arsenal, designed specifically to keep you buying the iPhone for years to come, possibly including one of the most controversial rumored iPhones on the horizon.
What is MagSafe for iPhone?
What does MagSafe do? It’s a new way for chargers and accessories to attach and talk to your iPhone. The simplest accessory is Apple's own MagSafe Wireless Charger, a $39 charging plate that looks a bit like a thinner, oversized Apple Watch charging plinth. It uses magnets to clamp itself tightly against the back of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models, securely keeping it in place for accurate charger positioning.
