On this episode of Digital Trends Live, hosts Greg Nibler and Adrien Warner dive into the biggest-trending topics in tech, including the removal of the ToTok app from Apple and Google app stores, Apple’s interest in satellites, Google’s acquisition of Typhoon Studios, a Switch knockoff, Starliner nails the landing, a hot dog-cooking robot, and more.
Nibler also speaks with Jarred Kessler, founder and chief executive officer of EasyKnock, a company that allows homeowners to sell their homes while staying in their house as renters until they find another place to live.
We then take a closer look at the Sigma FP camera, the world’s smallest full-frame digital camera that’s perfect for YouTubers.
We also look back at some of the biggest achievements from the last decade of space exploration — from the Hubble telescope, to the measuring of gravitational waves, to the completion of the International Space Station.
Finally, Nibler sits down with DT Senior Editor Drew Prindle to look at some awesome tech you can’t buy yet, from a self-balancing e-scooter, to solar cell headphones, to a 3D-printable camera.
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.
