On this episode of Digital Trends Live, hosts Caleb Denison and Nicole Raney break down the biggest-trending tech stories of the day, including the iPhone 11 location-data controversy, Qualcomm’s team-up with Pokémon Go’s creators, Uber’s sexual assault problem, and more.
Randall Field, executive director of the Mobility of the Future study and the Mobility Systems Center at the MIT Energy Initiative, and Joanna Moody, research program manager for the center, join Denison to discuss travel, technology, and how we’ll get from point A to point B over the next 30 years.
It’s then time for Work/Life as Ciara Pressler, founder and author of Pregame, joins Denison to talk about one of the major hurdles this time of year: How to maintain your sanity during the busy holiday season.
We then welcome Ken Yeung for our weekly Tech Brief segment, where he reviews the biggest tech stories from this past week, including the latest Qualcomm chips, T-Mobile’s 5G rollout, and the next-gen AR glasses.
We’re then joined by Brad Wiskirchen, chief executive officer at Kount, who discusses its patented A.I.-driven tech that helps more than 6,500 brands worldwide defend against digital fraud.
Finally, we welcome Jack Bishop, chief creative officer at America’s Test Kitchen, to talk about how its 50 full-time cooks test recipes, ingredients, and equipment so you don’t have to.
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.
