On this episode of Digital Trends Live, hosts Greg Nibler and Luke Larsen discuss the top-trending stories in tech, including stopping coronavirus misinformation, a TCL concept phone, Apple’s (possible) 5G antennas, HQ Trivia’s demise, the Mars 2020 rover’s launch prep, and more.
We then go to DT Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Kaplan in New York, who speaks with James Jacoby, director and correspondent for Frontline, about PBS’ new documentary Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos.
Next up, we’re hands-on with the Nikon D780 to discuss why it’s the DSLR you want to buy (if you really want to buy a DSLR).
Amber Osborne, VR and AR marketing strategist, talks about the possibility of attending conferences in virtual reality, which would help reduce business traveling, visa issues, and spreading illnesses like the coronavirus.
Finally, we speak with Ethan Ralston, U.S. president and chief executive officer of UBCO, about how the platform of electric vehicles, portable power, and accessories will redefine how you ride, work, and play.
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.
