Fri, 22 Sep 2023 16:00:27 GMT en-US hourly 60 Fall is in the air, which means pumpkin spice everything, NFL Sundays are back, and it's "tech-tober," which kicked off with a bang at Apple's September event and ushered in new iPhone generation, with each model now widely available. Since iPhone's original debut in 2007, lot has changed for the handset, both in terms of hardware and software. But with every iOS iteration, filling the pill-notch with a Dynamic Island, and charging port replacement, one thing that remains constant is needing to protect the beautiful display and cameras from the bumps and bruises of a busy day, especially if you opt for the iPhone Plus' gorgeous elongated screen. As long as the housings can be chipped and scratched, or the glass can be broken, you'll need a case. We're taking a quick look at the best cases for the iPhone 15 right out of the gate to help protect your newest iPhone on day one.

From BMI to weight and so much more, they can prove beneficial when making conscious health choices in your daily routine. While they can be pricey, you don’t have to spend a ton to get a top-rated scale. After all, right now the Renpho smart scale just dropped to only $20, saving you $15.

]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2023 16:00:27 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/let-this-incredibly-popular-20-smart-scale-track-your-fitness-journey/ Apple has just launched the new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro lineups, and with it are finally taking a step into this decade by doing away with their proprietary lightning port in lieu of the almost universally used USB-C port. The port that was first used on a smartphone in 2015 makes its way to iPhone and AirPods in 2023. If you've been a longtime user of Apple devices then you may already own some USB-C cables from your iPad or MacBook, but if that's not the case then don't assume you have to throw out your old lightning cables and replace them all with USB-C.

]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 20:40:34 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-lightning-to-usb-c-adapter-for-iphone-15-and-airpods/ This Anker USB-C charger is super compact, so it will save you space in your laptop bag. Plus, since the plugs are foldable, they won't snag on cables and fabric in your bag. It's the perfect choice of wall charger to use with your MacBook, your brand new USB-C iPhone 15, or the latest Galaxy phone.

]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 18:39:49 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/power-up-three-devices-at-once-with-this-43-anker-charger/ From the new Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro series to the Echo Show 8 that just debuted, which features the same familiar form factor but with an evolved home screen, modern tech innovations opt for refining practical usage. While honing in on use-case is helpful, and those small differences add up, there's rarely conversation surrounding tech that is both useful and wildly creative. Taking a break from the mainstream influx of "tech-tober" hardware, we compiled a list of the best funky tech we've seen that's unique and niche in form-factor and user experience.

]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 17:30:31 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-weird-tech/ Amazon has announced its new lineup of Alexa-compatible smart glasses, along with two designs from the eyewear experts at Carrera.

]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 16:31:26 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/amazon-echo-frames-gen-3-announced/ Virtually every smartwatch owner has had that moment of exasperated frustration when we bang our watch screen against a wall or a chair. A good screen protector can help with that. While the new Apple Watch Series 9 already boasts a fairly scratch-resistant screen, employing a sapphire-crystal glass that you often find in Rolex and other luxury watches, it doesn't guarantee complete scratch-safety.

]]> Wed, 20 Sep 2023 14:31:53 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-apple-watch-series-9-screen-protector/ Wireless charging along with iPhone's MagSafe has made topping up your phone battery all the more convenient. Instead of struggling to get your charging cable into the port, you can just place your iPhone on a wireless charger and watch your battery percentage climb, especially now with the iPhone 15 and second iteration of the AirPods Pro 2, switching from a lightning to USB-C charging port. One downside of many wireless chargers, however, is that you have to place your iPhone face up on a flat surface, meaning you can only see the screen properly from directly above.

]]> Tue, 19 Sep 2023 21:30:54 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-iphone-charger-stands/ During Apple's September Wonderlust event, one of Apple's major points, aside from unveiling its new hardware, of course, was its commitment to becoming 100 per cent carbon-neutral by 2030. In the midst of its perfectly cheesy skit in which we saw Tim Cook nervously prepare for Apple's meeting with Mother Nature, portrayed by the iconic Octavia Spencer, Apple confirmed the long-circulated rumor that it will no longer produce leather cases and Apple Watch bands.

]]> Tue, 19 Sep 2023 20:45:54 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-eco-friendly-apple-watch-series-9-band/ When you need to charge your device, you need it fast. Whether that means you're out and about and your phone's just died, you need to keep multiple devices going at once, or need a charger that can keep up the draw on your gaming console, Ugreen has the solution for you.

]]> Tue, 19 Sep 2023 08:00:28 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/ugreen-rg-30w-and-65w/ MagSafe has a lot of uses. The obvious is the excellent wireless charging, but there are other accessories, such as MagSafe wallets, that make your life easier. PopSockets and MagSafe are an obvious match. PopSockets affix to the back of your device and pop out to deliver better ergonomics while the MagSafe magnets make the PopSockets easily removable and replaceable. You can even stack PopSockets with other accessories for a functional, if somewhat bulky, experience.

]]> Sat, 16 Sep 2023 15:30:27 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-portable-fan/ Braided USB-C cables have a few benefits over their rubber brethren. They don't tangle as easily, they're a bit more durable, and they look nicer than the typical black rubber you see on most cables. They're not great everywhere. For example, some braided mice cables can get caught on fabric mouse pads and cause annoyance. Otherwise, braided cables aren't a bad way to go when it comes to material choice.

]]> Fri, 15 Sep 2023 21:31:18 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-braided-usb-c-cable/ Why spend hours a day struggling to type on a mushy and imprecise membrane keyboard when there are so many high-quality mechanical options?

Fitting nicely with MagSafe's multi-faceted approach, you can even add MagSafe wallets to your case for an easy card-carry. Usually light and slim, the cases won't replace a regular wallet, but there are some places, like the gym, where you may want to carry around only a few cards with you rather than an entirely separate fold.

As seamless as it can be, it also makes it incredibly annoying when you want to use Bluetooth on something, and it's unavailable. It happens more often than you'd think, especially while traveling - as most AirPlanes have not kept up with the Bluetooth wave. Plus, with more companies developing high-end Bluetooth headphones in addition to a solid wired headphone line-up, a Bluetooth headphone adapter makes for a great solution.
