On this episode of Digital Trends Live, hosts Greg Nibler and Adrien Warner discuss the biggest-trending topics in tech, including voting by app, what to expect from the new Razr, a possible curved-glass iMac, the 10-year anniversary of the iPad, the latest on tracking the coronavirus, and more.
We then go live to Miami to talk about the upcoming Super Bowl with Caleb Denison and Riley Winn, who will be covering the big game live all week and providing behind-the-scenes coverage.
Drew Prindle, DT senior editor, stops by to talk about awesome tech you can’t buy yet. This week, we take a look at a new Moen shower head, turning a regular screen into a touchscreen using LiDAR, and a blackhead vacuum.
Shama Hyder, chief marketing officer for OneDine, talks about the changes technology is bringing to the restaurant industry, and how they are creating a seamless experience for both diners and restaurant workers.
Nibler then speaks with Isaac Lee Morris, founder and chief executive officer of Threadbare and chief product officer of Thesis, about how fashion is looking to technology to improve sustainability.
Finally, we are joined by Kashmir Hill, reporter for the New York Times, who discusses a company called Clearview AI, facial-recognition tech that has the ability to take any photograph and use machine learning to pair it to public social media content.
Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet.
