I Used the Google Pixel 10 Pro for a Year, and I Still Can
I have spent the better part of the last year trying to figure out why I like the Google Pixel 10 Pro so much. That probably sounds strange coming from someone who can give you a fairly long list of things

IFA 2026: The best accessories we found for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Macworld IFA 2026 in Berlin is Europes answer to CES, attracting global brands and huge crowds. Macworld walked its 27 halls to find the most interesting Apple-related products, breezily ignoring Windows PCs and Nintendo Switch accessories. More importantly, this years best launches offered a glimpse at where Apple accessories are heading next. Charging was the biggest theme, as was keeping power banks cool enough to keep charging at peak rates. Qi2 25W is quickly becoming the premium wireless-charging standard, while Ugreen, Anker, ESR and Adam Elements all showed active cooling systems designed to control the extra heat. Belkin and Momax also showcased semi-solid-state batteries promising slimmer power banks, improved safety and longer lifespans. Dark Cherry was another major trend, with Baseus, ESR and Momax betting on the rumored iPhone 18 Pro color becoming 2026s must-have shade. Elsewhere, replaceable batteries, a folding OLED portable monitor and local-AI smart-home hubs showed manufacturers experimenting beyond the usual annual refresh. Mac accessories were also more ambitious, with Thunderbolt 5 docks, 6K touchscreens, high-refresh-rate multi-monitor hubs and displays with integrated docking and KVM functionality. Rather than catalog every launch, we picked the products that genuinely did something different. Here are the accessories that impressed us most. UPerfect Omega One bendable display A Mac monitor that actually folds Simon Jary Weve tested some of the best portable monitors for Mac but none has literally bent in half like the UPerfect Omega One. Its the iPhone Ultra of monitors, and loks perfect for traveling MacBook users. This compact display pulls out to a flexible 16.3-inch 2K OLED touchscreen, and you can hardly spot the bend point when fully flat. It uses an advanced flexible substrate and seamless hinge design for seamless folding and optical consistency. The panel is subtly curved so that the top and bottom edges naturally lean toward the viewer. Pre-orders will ship at the end of October. Ugreen CryoPulse and new MagFlow Pro range 25W Qi2 with liquid cooling Simon Jary Ugreen unveiled its new MagFlow lineup at IFA 2026, claiming the worlds first Qi2 25W magnetic power bank with active micro-pump liquid cooling. The new lineup tackles the heat challenge of faster wireless charging by combining active cooling with passive heat-dissipation structures in a system the company calls CryoPulse. Ugreen refreshed its MagFlow Pro family with a 3-in-1 Magnetic 25W Wireless Charging Stand (139.99 / 119.99), pictured above, designed for desks and bedside tables and a 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic 25W Wireless Charger (49.99 / 43.99) that measures 60 72 27mm when closed. The flagship 10K, 25W MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank ($149.99 / 119.99 / 109.99) features CryoPulse micro-pump liquid cooling, VC copper heat-spreading foil and separated charging components to reduce heat buildup, while ThermalGuard adjusts power automatically and a transparent window shows coolant circulation, claims Ugreen. A tiny pump circulates coolant to pull heat away from the cells, and you can watch it all happen through a clear Cyber Window. In Ugreens testing, peak temps ran up to 18F cooler than the industry benchmark, with temperature rise cut by up to 44%. Alongside the 25W wireless charging is 45W max wired output via a built-in cable. Ugreen also showed off a pair of new travel chargers for iPhone. Simon Jary Baseus Dark Cherry Collection Dark Cherry done comprehensively Baseus Dark Cherry is the Cosmic Orange of 2026, long rumoured to be Apples new look-at-me colorway for its iPhone 18 Pro series. Baseus has a whole charging and protection collection in Dark Cherry , including products such as its AH22 100W Digital Display Charger ($59), AM52 Qi2.2 Power Bank ($79), Air Ultra-Slim Power Bank ($79), and Inspire XC1 earbuds all shipping with discounts of up to $38 until the end of October. The Baseus PicoGo Pro USB-C Charger Fast Charging with Smart Display is a 3-port charger for any modern Apple device and includes a Dark Cherry 100W USB-C cable. The Baseus Picogo Air magnetic power bank is super-slim at 0.27 inches (6.9mm) thick, but youll be too busy marvelling at its Dark Cherry color to even notice! Anker chargers and refresh-champ hub Smarter charging, cooling and connectivity Simon Jary The Anker Desktop USB-C Hub is really a docking station, having four USB ports (two 10Gbps USB-C and two 5Gbps USB-A), Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD memory card slots, and both DisplayPort and HDMI ports. Its special because Anker claims it can run HD monitors at an ultra-smooth 240Hz refresh rate or two 4K displays at 120Hz. The connected MacBook can receive up to 100W of power. A built-in display shows real-time port status, charging power, data transfer rate, and device temperature, and you can upload custom images for a rotating slideshow, or double-tap to start a Pomodoro timer with gentle health reminders. Anker also unveiled a pocket-sized (3.74 x 1.98 x 1.59 inches) Nano Universal Charger (4-in-1, 100W, Smart Display), pictured above, with built-in U.S. / U.K. / E.U. plugs supporting use in 200+ countries and regions. It can charge up to four devices and supply 100W for your MacBook. Simon Jary Joining the fight to keep its portable chargers as cool as possible, Anker claims that its new 25W MagGo Power Bank 2 Pro , shown above, is the worlds fastest and coolest wireless power bank.. Well test this when we have a sample in the Macworld Labs, but Anker showed us an intriguing test where it lay a slab of butter on a series of charging power banks to show just how hot they can get. A patented fan-control algorithm, dual air ducts and a three-layer graphene heat-spreading system pull heat away continuously, keeping the back of the power bank below 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit (36 Celsius) throughout charging. Anker compares this to competing magnetic power banks that typically reach 113 degrees (45 Celsius) or higher, forcing the connected phone to throttle power. Ankers butter slab didnt melt. Anker also showed off its new MagStand Charging Station , Laptop Charger Pro , and Nano Charging Station . Belkin UltraCharge Pro Power Banks Next-generation semi-solid-state battery technology Simon Jary Belkin showed off its new range of semi-solid-state portable chargers . Semi-solid-state technology is the next-generation of battery tech that promises improved safety and durability, slimmer design and longer battery life. Belkins new UltraCharge Pro uses a BoostSolid Cell that adds a gel-like layer alongside the liquid electrolyte, enabling a slimmer, more compact design while improving reliability and performance, and increasing thermal stability. Belkin claims that the new products will last up to 3x longer than other power banks. ESR cool chargers and iPhone protection Cooler charging and stronger protection Simon Jary ESR showcased its latest charging, protection, and productivity products at IFA 2026, including Dark Cherry versions of many of its iPhone accessories such as the super-adjustable and lightweight Cyclone 25W Magnetic Charging Pad with CryoBoost . The company claims that the integrated active cooling reduces heat generation by 6.5C, reducing the risk of overheating that can slow down or even stop device charging. Under its Designed for Whats Next philosophy, ESR showed off the new Atelier Case for iPhone that is made with silicone-based vegan leather pioneered in luxury car interiors and resists stains, wear, and fading. Less visible by design are new screen protectors that ESR claims defend screens with up to 10x impact absorption, while its Armorite Pro Edition features Accessory Glass by Corning to provide up to 2x better scratch resistance compared with other screen protector glass. Mobile Pixels Prisma Curved screen for Mac Studio or Mac mini Simon Jary Owners of the Mac Studio and Mac mini will swoon over this monitor that hosts a special adjustable stand that holds either of the two Macsor a 15W Qi2 magnetic iPhone charger if you prefer a MacBook. Its an ultrawide 40-inch 5K2K curved monitor with a built-in hub that not only connects with the Mac but has ports including USB-C, USB-A, and SD/MicroSD card readers. At the back theres an enclosure for an NVMe SSD (up to 8TB). It is expected in spring 2027. Belkins MacBook Neo accessories Simon Jary Were excited to test Belkins new range of color-matching gadgets for our best MacBook Neo accessories roundup. The fresh four-color series includes the BoostCharge Compact USB-C Wall Charger 30W that will complement the latest MacBook Neo colorways in Citrus, Blush, Indigo and Silver. Satechi, which announced its own Neo-color accessories earlier this year, was also at IFA with its range, including the Satechi USB-C Snap Hub . The new collection delivers a coordinated charging experience with charger, 2m braided charging cable, Neo power bank and magnetic wireless charger, with prices starting at $26.99 / 27.99 / 29.99 this September. Alogic shows off its Vision Ambitious displays, docking and Thunderbolt 5 All the Aspekt monitors support Alogics Omni Stand that can cradle a Mac mini off your precious desk space. Simon Jary Mac monitor fans will have loved the raft of new displays shown by Alogic at IFA 2026. These included a higher-resolution Aspekt displays and a new Vision series of monitors for business. For maximum screen space and peak resolution, the Aspekt Touch 32 6K steps up to a 6016 3384 resolution with its touchscreen. The smaller Aspekt Touch 27 5K combines a 5120 2880 IPS touchscreen display with 600-nit brightness and wide color coverage. Both Aspekt Touch models will be available at the end of October and support DisplayPort daisy chaining, making it easier to build a multi-monitor setup without adding another dock to the desk. Stretching to a wider canvas, the Aspekt Touch 5K Ultrawide 34 (available end of November) takes the same idea into a 21:9 format with a resolution of up to 5120 x 2160, a 100Hz refresh rate and 10-point multitouch. The business workplace Vision series includes the Vision 27-inch QHD Docking Monitor that provides a 2560 1440 IPS display with a 100Hz refresh rate, 300-nit typical brightness and 100% sRGB coverage. The Vision 34-inch Ultrawide QHD Curved Docking Monitor is designed for larger workspaces, with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio. Both include USB-C docking with up to 90W laptop charging and built-in KVM functionality, allowing users to switch between two computers while keeping the same keyboard, mouse and display setup. Alogic also showcased its new Flash Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station at the show., which is an 80Gbps Thunderbolt 5 docking station with 13-in-1 ports that can support up to three external displays for the latest MacBooks. MOFT Super-thin flexible wallet Simon Jary Origami-like folding is a MOFT super power, and it claims that its new Snap-on Phone Stand & Wallet AERA is the worlds thinnest three-card magnetic wallet stand. Weighing just 45g, it offers three viewing angles, and over 20 color choices in its Movas vegan leather. There is also a trackable FindMy version available . Local AI autonomous home hubs Local AI for an autonomous home Ugreen Not content with leading the charging accessory market, both Ugreen and Anker announced local AI home hubs at IFA. Under its Smarter Living Starts Here theme, Ugreen showcased its new HomeAgent local AI-powered, voice-control and smart-recognition products that combine storage, computing, and control in one device to connect AIoT devices such as security cameras, smart speakers, and smart photo frames. The emphasis is on local (NAS-based) storage and local AI to keep your personal data private. The hub is Ugreens HomeAgent and ultimate MasterAgent devices that sync with home camera systems, speakers, and smart frames. Ugreen SynCare cameras can continuously capture everyday moments as they happen, which you can later discover to display through spoken keyword search. Simon Jary This will compete with Ankers MindBase , a local AI home hub that functions as the central brain for an autonomous home, bringing together three core capabilities: whole-home connectivity, local intelligence and memory, alongside the companys security, energy, cleaning and audio ecosystems. Anker EasyOmni Link is a software system that brings the Anker ecosystem and compatible third-party smart home devices into a central local intelligence system, supporting close to 100 Anker devices and hundreds of Matter-compatible products, working alongside Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Home Assistant. Krafted Edge Replaceable battery, unusually thoughtful design Simon Jary This slim 20000mAh power bank looks like no other as it sits under your MacBook, and has two USB-C and two USB-A ports plus a removable 20cm colored USB-C cable that magnetically slots into the power bank. The Krafted Edge can charge a laptop at 65W, which should be enough for any MacBook unless under an extreme performance load. Also unlike most power banks, its battery is replaceable, meaning zero obsolescence. Adam Elements CQ3 25W Cooling Car Mount Charger Actively cooled 25W car charging Adam Elements This powerful magnetic car charger with suction mount and air-vent clips supports up to 25W in-car wireless charging, backed up with advanced cooling plus quiet performance. The built-in silent cooling fan has claimed noise levels as low as 35dB, while reducing heat to 10C in standby to maintain peak charging. Momax Dusky Cherry Ultra-thin semi-solid-state charging Simon Jary Another Dark Cherry range comes from Momax, which showcased its Dusky Cherry color direction, as well as its super-slim semi-solid-state battery technology, under the mission to Recharge for Life. At IFA 2026, Momax showed its 1-Power S.Pass Air 5,000 mAh Magnetic Wireless Battery Pack that is only 6mm thin. Its semi-solid-state battery uses a hybrid electrolyte composition designed to reduce leakage and flammability risks while improving battery stability for everyday charging. Orbitkey tech organizers A smarter answer to cable clutter Simon Jary Theres a lot of tech at IFA but where and how do you stop this taking over your home or office? If your tech exists in a tangle living loose in a drawer or shoebox, Australian accessory maker Orbitkey has five new handy tech organisers, from a 0.5L everyday pouch to a full cable kit, all in Black, or more fetching Terracotta and Lilac colors. The Tech Organiser Mini (0.5L) is for those who carry light: a cable, charger, earbuds, a power bank. The Tech Organiser (1.5L) opens flat for a working setup with everything immediately visible. Its Tech Organiser Plus (2.5L) is designed for bigger loads, such as multiple chargers, mouse, hard drive, longer cables, and a hub. For an organiser you can wear the Tech Sling (3L) works best for a commute or day of travel. Finally, the Cable Organiser Pouch has space for charging bricks, spare leads, adapters, and dongles.

iPhone Ultra, iPhone 18 Pro, and More: Apple
Apple's September event will take place on Wednesday, September 9 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Apple will announce its 2026 iPhone lineup, and this year is a big one. Along with the slab-style iPhones we've been using for years, Apple is going to debut its first foldable device. We'll also get new Apple Watches, a new set of AirPods, and possibly some other surprises. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Everything we expect to see at the Surprise and Shine event is below. Foldable iPhone Apple's 2026 iPhone lineup will include its first foldable device. We don't know what Apple will call it, but rumors suggest it might be named the iPhone Ultra . Apple has designed a book-style foldable that has an iPad-like layout when it's opened up. It will have a ~5.5-inch OLED outer display, which is what you'll use when the iPhone is closed. It will unfold into a larger OLED display that's approximately 7.8 inches. The design is wider than it is tall when it's open, and you can picture it as something like an iPad mini that folds in half. Samsung's recent Galaxy Z Fold8 matches the foldable iPhone rumors, so it may be the best look at the size and layout of Apple's device. Apple wanted a crease-free design, but that doesn't seem to be possible with a foldable yet. The iPhone Ultra will instead have a minimal crease and a durable liquid metal hinge. Foldables are delicate and hinges can be a weak point, so Apple focused on durability. Rumors indicate Apple could have some tricks to keep the crease less visible over time, such as optically clear adhesive that will fill in any micro-cracks caused by repeated folding. When unfolded, the iPhone Ultra could be as thin as 4.5mm, making it Apple's thinnest iPhone to date. That would make it 9mm when folded, which is close to the thickness of the 8.75mm iPhone 17 Pro Max. With a chassis that thin, Apple had to make design compromises. There is reportedly no space for the TrueDepth camera system for Face ID , so it's going to use Touch ID instead. There will be a Touch ID side button, similar to the iPad Air and iPad mini. Though Face ID isn't included, there will be front cameras for both the inner and outer displays. Apple also didn't have room for a three-lens rear camera system, so the iPhone Ultra won't have a telephoto lens. Rumors suggest it will have an Ultra Wide lens and a Wide lens located on the back of the device, so the rear camera works whether the iPhone Ultra is folded or unfolded. It was unclear if MagSafe would be included because leaked dummy models didn't feature a magnetic ring, but Bloomberg says MagSafe charging will indeed be a feature . The iPhone Ultra will have a 2nm A20 Pro chip. The A20 Pro is expected to be around 18 percent faster and up to 30 percent more power efficient than the A19 Pro, and it could have a 7-core GPU , a wider memory interface, and a larger L2 cache for its efficiency cores. We're expecting 12GB of RAM. Apple's 2026 iPhones could use its house-designed C2 modem, which is expected to be faster and more efficient than the C1X. It's not yet clear if Apple has added mmWave technology to the C2, and if it hasn't, foldable iPhone models sold in the U.S. could use Qualcomm modems instead. mmWave 5G isn't widely used outside of the U.S., but it is an expected feature for U.S. iPhones. The other alternative is limiting the foldable iPhone to sub6GHz 5G speeds worldwide. Each half of the iPhone Ultra will have a battery inside, and it could have a total capacity in the 5,400 to 5,800 mAh range. The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 5,088 mAh battery for comparison. Apple isn't taking risks with color. The iPhone Ultra will come in silver/white and a second color that's been described as a very deep shade of indigo that's close to black. Software could make or break the iPhone Ultra, and Apple has been telling developers to design their apps for a variety of sizes and aspect ratios to accommodate the two foldable screens. The iPhone Ultra is likely to support multitasking, side-by-side apps, and sidebars, much like the iPad . Apple's first foldable won't be cheap. According to rumors, it will cost at least $2,000, and higher-capacity models could be upwards of $2,500. iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max The iPhone 18 Pro models will look a lot like the iPhone 17 Pro models, with no major design changes expected. There are rumors that the iPhone 18 Pro Max might be a little bit thicker and heavier because of a larger battery , but iPhone 17 Pro cases are expected to fit the iPhone 18 Pro models. The camera plateau could be slightly thicker to accommodate a new variable aperture lens. Apple has new colors planned, including a dark cherry shade, light blue, and silver. Rumors suggest there won't be a black iPhone 18 Pro option. With the iPhone 17 Pro models, there's a clear color contrast between the frosted glass back and the aluminum casing, but that might be more subtle with the iPhone 18 Pro. While the overall shape isn't being updated, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max could have a smaller Dynamic Island . There were early rumors about under-display Face ID with no Dynamic Island at all, but that's not going to happen. There may be a noticeable increase in battery life due to the larger capacity battery rumored for the 18 Pro Max (5,567 mAh), plus efficiency improvements from the 2nm A20 Pro chip it's supposed to get and an upgrade in display technology. Rumors say Apple is using an LTPO+ display that's more efficient than the current OLED display. Apple plans to upgrade the main rear camera with a DSLR-like variable aperture , giving users more control over the light that reaches the lens. An option for a smaller aperture in bright lighting could improve exposure, while a larger aperture in lower lighting conditions would let in more light to reduce grain and produce sharper images. A variable aperture also gives more control over background blur. Some rumors suggest this might be a feature exclusive to the iPhone 18 Pro Max, but it's not clear if that's accurate. Apple could use a three-layer stacked image sensor developed by Samsung, which would make the camera more responsive and improve low-light performance. The Telephoto lens could have a wider aperture to let in more light, but no changes are rumored for the Ultra Wide lens or the front-facing camera. There might be changes to the Camera Control button. Apple is supposedly simplifying it to eliminate the capacitive layer that lets you swipe to adjust camera settings on the button. As with the foldable iPhone, some or all of the iPhone 18 Pro models could get Apple's C2 modem, but again, it's possible U.S. models will have Qualcomm modems for mmWave 5G. Compared to the iPhone 17 Pro models, the iPhone 18 Pro models will be more expensive . Apple is paying more for memory and storage, and prices for Macs and iPads already went up. We could see a price increase ranging from $100 to $300 . Apple Watch Series 12 The Apple Watch Series 12 won't design changes, but Apple could bring back the ceramic case option . We're expecting an updated processor that could bring improvements to health and fitness tracking. Apple is testing a feature that would let the heart rate sensor continuously collect data throughout the day, powering a new Health app feature that could show wellness-related info similar to what the Oura Ring offers. Apple Watch Ultra 4 Like the Apple Watch Series 12, the Apple Watch Ultra 4 will have no major changes. It's likely to get the same upgraded processor and related changes. AirPods 5 References to AirPods 5 were found in the macOS 26.7 release candidate , and the new earbuds could launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models. Apple could add an updated H3 chip for improved sound quality and lower latency, and we're likely to still get an ANC version and a non-ANC version. Possible Product Launches Home hub - Apple is working on a home hub with a 7-inch square display, an integrated camera, presence detection sensors, and more. It will control smart home devices, but it will also run apps. Rumors suggest it can be used to make video calls, play content, and interact with Siri AI, the new version of Siri in iOS 27 . Apple has been waiting to launch the home hub because Siri AI is a central feature of the new device. Apple TV 4K - There's a new Apple TV with a faster processor in the works, and it could come at the September event. No design changes are expected, but an updated chip could support Siri AI and new gameplay features. There are also signs of a new remote in Apple code . HomePod mini - The HomePod mini is due for a refresh, and it's also expected to get a faster processor. We haven't heard word of design changes, but it could come in new colors. Software Updates At the September 9 event, Apple will announce the release dates for iOS 27, iPadOS 27 , macOS Golden Gate , tvOS 27, watchOS 27 , and visionOS 27. Apple will also likely seed release candidate versions of the updates to developers and public beta testers following the event. Based on historical release timelines, iOS 27 and its sister updates could come out as soon as September 14. What Not to Expect There are several other products rumored to be launching before the end of 2026, but they'll likely come at a second event in October or November. There's also a notable omission from the lineup, because Apple is going to delay the iPhone 18 . iPhone 18 - The standard iPhone 18 will not launch in September 2026, with Apple instead planning to debut it in spring 2027 alongside the iPhone 18e and the iPhone Air 2. In the fall, we're only getting the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone. Apple Watch SE 4 - There won't be a new Apple Watch SE 4 this year. M6 MacBook Pro - A new entry-level MacBook Pro with an M6 chip is coming before the end of the year, but not at the September event. M6 iMac - There's also an M6 iMac rumored to be coming in 2026, but Apple is likely to hold a Mac event to announce it, or do it via press release at a later date. OLED MacBook Pro - We've been waiting on an OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro, and it's rumored for late 2026 or early 2027. It's not a candidate for Apple's September event. OLED iPad mini - There's an OLED iPad mini in development, and it's expected to launch before the end of October. It's another one that's unlikely for an iPhone event. Apple's New CEO New Apple CEO John Ternus has presented at Apple events before, but the iPhone event will be the first he hosts as CEO in place of Tim Cook . Cook was Apple's CEO for 15 years, so a transition to Ternus leading an event is a major change. Cook is now Apple's executive chairman, and he may not make an appearance during the event at all. iPhone Preorders Apple almost always holds preorders on the Friday after an event, but this year, that Friday is 9/11. It's unlikely Apple will do iPhone preorders on Friday because of the date, so orders could happen on Saturday instead. The last time iPhone preorders overlapped with the 9/11 date in 2015, Apple pushed orders to Saturday. If Apple follows the same pattern, the iPhone 18 Pro models and the iPhone Ultra could be available for preorder on Saturday, September 12. Back in 2015, Apple started preorders at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time, but in recent years, preorders have started at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Preorders this year could take place at 5:00 a.m. on September 12. The new iPhones will likely launch on Friday, September 18, regardless of preorder date. How to Watch Apple's Surprise and Shine event will start at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, September 9. Apple will livestream the event on its website , on YouTube , and through the Apple TV app on supported devices. For those unable to watch the livestream, MacRumors will have full event coverage on MacRumors.com and the MacRumorsLive X account . We'll also take a much closer look at all of the new products after the event.

Apple Planning AI Home Security Camera and Service for 2027
Apple could release a home security system and service in 2027, according to Bloomberg . The company is designing a privacy-forward home security camera that will use AI to monitor the surrounding environment instead of actual video footage. It will apparently work with a new home security and monitoring service, but no additional detail on the service is included. Apple is planning to release a home hub for controlling smart home devices before the end of the year, and rumors have previously suggested there's a camera in the works to go along with it. Early rumors indicated it would be a wireless camera with Siri integration and a connection to the home hub that's in development. Apple already has HomeKit Secure Video , an Apple Home feature for third-party cameras. HomeKit Secure Video features end-to-end encryption and uses iCloud to securely stream and store video from compatible HomeKit cameras. In iOS 27 , Apple is upgrading its HomeKit camera features . The Home app is able to generate written summaries for motion alerts, plus it can surface highlights and group footage from different cameras together. The new features require a 2TB or higher iCloud+ plan, while HomeKit Secure Video requires a 50GB plan or better.

Is Apple working on its own game controller?
Macworld According to a sharp-eyed MacRumors reader , the first macOS 26.7 release candidate included references to a pair of game controllers. The same release candidate included code numbers for a slew of other in-development Apple products . The two hardware devices are referenced as T6502 and T1057 and they include most standard game controller features: dual thumbsticks, face buttons, triggers, home and menu buttons, and different haptic features. One notable difference: the T1057 controller includes gryscope and accelerometer support (so games can tell how you tilt or move the controller) while T6502 does not. While this is an interesting find, I caution readers not to assume that Apple is working on its own game controller. There have been rumors of Apple making its own game controller for over a decade, and nothing has ever come of it. Apple has instead done a lot to provide proper support for third-party game controllers, whether thats its own MFi program or controllers for home console systems. For years, you have been able to sync an Xbox or PlayStation controller to your Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TV. That includes the latest controllers for the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. These code numbers probably reference test devices that are used in testing support for core game controller functions, or legacy references to R&D projects for Apple game controllers that may never be built. Apple famously has many products in various stages of development and only a few of them are ever released. Apple could be building its own game controller, but there would be little reason to. Find My support and automatic switching between devices would be useful, but its hard to argue that modern controllers are missing features that require Apple to do its own thing. It makes much more sense for Apple to support the tens of millions of Xbox and PlayStation controllers than to make its own, especially as Apples platforms are not very popular for the kinds of games one usually plays with controllers.

macOS 26.7 Code Hints at Two Unreleased Apple Game Controllers
References to two unreleased controllers that identify as Apple hardware in code were spotted in the macOS 26.7 release candidate by MacRumors reader Pdfu. Apple's first macOS 26.7 release candidate came out in mid-August, and it was full of references to unreleased Apple devices, from iPhones and Macs to new home accessories. Pdfu has continued to dig into the RC, finding new details that were previously overlooked. There are GameController profiles for two hardware devices identified as T6502 and T1057, which Pdfu suggests could be Apple gaming controllers in development. The two controllers have different haptic designs and standard controller components, like a D-pad, dual thumbsticks, shoulder buttons, Home and Menu buttons, and analog triggers. T1057 also has accelerometer and gyroscope support, while T6502 doesn't. The code includes dedicated hardware plug-ins for each device as well, which suggests these are actual devices instead of placeholder code. There have been rumors about a possible Apple game controller over the years, but nothing has ever materialized. The code found in the first macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC could point to an Apple controller in the works, but it could also be referencing internal test hardware Apple uses for testing game controller code and support. Apple removed the code in the second macOS Tahoe 26.7 RC. Apple has had multiple opportunities to release a game controller. The company could have launched one alongside any version of the Apple TV , when Apple Arcade came out, or when the Vision Pro launched, but it didn't. Instead, Apple focused on building extensive support for third-party controllers. In 2015, Apple required Apple TV games to support the Siri Remote as a gaming controller, but gave that up in a matter of months. With the Vision Pro, it partnered with Sony to add Vision Pro support to the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers instead of designing its own controller. Console makers have mastered the controller, and many people already have Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo controllers. There's little improvement to be made on controller ergonomics, but if Apple is working on a controller, features like Find My and instant cross-device pairing could set it apart from competitors. All of the references can be found in blacktop/ipsw-diffs on GitHub, with Pdfu's highlights available in the forum post .

Flock cameras are officially banned on state roads in Florida
Florida joins a growing list of cities and states responding to the license plate reader backlash.
While the long-awaited foldable iPhone has often been referred to as the iPhone Ultra or the iPhone Fold in rumors, another name making the rounds is iPhone Duo. There is no actual evidence that Apple will use the iPhone Duo name, but it is certainly a possibility. Apple has used Duo branding in the past, for its PowerBook Duo line of laptops in the 1990s and for its MagSafe Duo Charger in the early 2020s. In this case, Duo would refer to the foldable iPhone's dual screens. Microsoft released a dual-screen Android smartphone called the Surface Duo in 2020 that has since been discontinued, and Intel had its popular lines of Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors in the 2000s, so perhaps Apple will want to avoid using Duo branding due to that history. However, competing companies have devices with Ultra and Fold branding too, such as Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold8. In April, former Macworld reporter Filipe Espsito cited a source familiar with Apple's plans who said the foldable iPhone will be named iPhone Ultra . Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman said many Apple employees refer to the device as the iPhone Ultra within the company, but he has never firmly reported that it will be the official name. Apple has used Ultra branding for the Apple Watch Ultra, CarPlay Ultra, and its M1 Ultra, M2 Ultra, M3 Ultra, and M5 Ultra chips. Apple is expected to unveil its foldable iPhone during its event next week , so we will soon find out whether the device is named iPhone Ultra, iPhone Fold, iPhone Duo, or something else.

Acer recently came out with a new 6K 31.5-inch display, the ProDesigner PE320QXT. It's a touchscreen display that's able to work with a Mac using touch drivers, and it's aimed at professional creators. It's fun to use, but there are some compromises, and this is not the display to get unless you really want touch integration. This is a big, heavy display. It's thicker than my Apple Studio Display , and it's thicker than any other display I've tested, likely because of the touch layer. It does have a tapered design so the sides aren't quite as thick as the middle, but this isn't a modern-looking monitor. It doesn't resemble something designed in 2026, especially with the button-based controls and the thick bezels. If someone told me this was a display from 2006, I'd believe it. With its stand, the ProDesigner weighs about 22 pounds, and it takes up a lot of room on my desk. The display uses an IPS panel and has a resolution of 6016 x 3384, and it can connect to a Mac using HDMI or USB-C. I tested it on a 16-inch M1 Max MacBook Pro running macOS Golden Gate and an M4 MacBook Air . By default, macOS uses a 3008 x 1692 scaled resolution, which is a good compromise between display quality and sizing. It can be set at higher resolutions, including the full 6016 x 3384, but window sizing and text get smaller as resolution goes up. Text is crisp and everything looks sharp at the default resolution, but brightness is limited to 400 nits and contrast is just fair, not outstanding. My office is bright, and in the daytime, 400 nits is a little too dim, especially if I'm simultaneously using the MacBook Pro's much better mini-LED screen or a Studio Display with the Acer ProDesigner. Brightness does go up to 600 nits for HDR content, but I wouldn't recommend it for HDR movies because it doesn't have the local dimming you get from mini-LED or OLED . Though brightness wasn't where I wanted it to be, quality and color were excellent. With some displays, it's unpleasant to use them with a MacBook Pro because of the pixel density mismatch, but 6K resolution makes a difference when using the display next to a MacBook Pro. Text and interface elements don't look soft or low-resolution. Acer says the display is Calman-verified for color accuracy with support for 99 percent of the Adobe RGB and P3 color gamuts. I don't have a colorimeter or a reference display for testing, but colors were saturated and seemed similar to those on my MacBook Pro. I did notice a little light bleed at the edges of the display when viewing a dark image in a dark room, but it's not something I noticed in regular use and the display otherwise looked uniform. One of the main concerns with any kind of color work is the glossiness of the display. This is one of the most reflective displays I've used, and it is problematic when viewing dark content in a room with bright light. If you have lights behind you, they're going to reflect and make it harder to see what you're working on. Acer says it's an anti-glare display, but I disagree. This is a display with a 60Hz refresh rate, and I do notice the lower refresh rate when scrolling through webpages because I'm used to my Mac's 120Hz option. This isn't a display I'd choose for games because of it, but games do look good thanks to the resolution. Controls Acer doesn't have a native macOS app for controlling the display, so there's no way to control brightness from the Mac unless you download third-party display software. I use BetterDisplay, and it works well. Without third-party display software, you're limited to the brightness controls on the monitor itself. There are five buttons on the bottom right of the display. On-device controls are not as convenient as software-based controls, and it takes too many button presses to adjust brightness. I need to press one button to toggle the brightness setting, then use a different button and press several times to adjust up or down. The brightness control is right next to the power button, so I've accidentally turned the display off several times. It's hard to imagine a control scheme that would be less ergonomic than the one Acer chose. You can tediously control all of the display settings with the physical buttons, or use third-party software to solve the problem. Stand The ProDesigner uses a folding stand made for switching between an upright and a tilted, low-angle orientation, with the latter meant to be used for drawing, sketching, and other tablet-style work. Since the stand is meant to tilt into a tablet position, it doesn't have much height adjustment, with about six inches of range. If you need the display to be taller, you'll need a monitor riser. It is easy to pull it down into more of a tablet mode, and when it's oriented like that, it's like using a giant iPad or drawing tablet. It can be adjusted to several different angles, and it swivels 360 degrees so you can find the best position for whatever you're doing. The stand mechanism feels well-designed and there's little friction when making changes. I didn't think attempting to draw or write on a display this size was going to be comfortable, but being able to angle the display helped. I had no issue when using it at my desk, though it does take up a lot of space. This isn't a situation where you can pick up your drawing surface and pop over to the couch to draw. You need the right setup for this display and its large stand. The stand design makes the most sense if you're often using the display in touch mode, and less sense if you just want a display. It doesn't have the range of height adjustment of a standard desktop display because of the mechanism to shift it into a tablet position. Ports and Charging The display connects to a Mac over USB-C and offers 90W passthrough charging. That's not enough power to reach the 140W maximum charging speed of a 16-inch MacBook Pro, but it was enough to keep my Mac topped up over the course of the day, even while gaming. It has two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, a USB-C port with power delivery, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB-B upstream port, and a 3.5mm jack. There is no Thunderbolt support, so you can't daisy-chain displays. Touchscreen and Software macOS doesn't have native touchscreen support, so third-party software is required to make the Acer display's touchscreen function. Acer suggests the UPDD Touch Software driver from Touch-Base, and it allows for 10-finger touch input. You can use all of the Mac gestures you're familiar with on the ProDesigner, but it's clear this is a display that wasn't built with the Mac in mind. The UPDD software requires per-app customization of touch gestures for some workflows. It's nice that the customization is available, but the software can be confusing. I don't know who is going to want to put in the work to get this running in a way that doesn't involve at least some frustration. In an app like Pixelmator Pro, I'd have to manually tweak the gestures to be able to use it efficiently, and the same goes for most apps. Apps on the Mac just weren't built for touch input. With the UPDD software, touch input works, and works well. Finger taps are accurate, and Acer has a stylus that goes along with the display (that is a separate purchase). With the stylus, fine-line writing and drawing are supported, and features I'd expect with a stylus, like palm rejection and tilt, are available. Using the stylus is similar to using an iPad with an Apple Pencil that has hover. I can see the mouse cursor when the stylus is close to the screen so I can tell what I'm doing. Using touch or the stylus didn't seem laggy, and writing on the display was responsive. Touch works on macOS, and I can tap with a finger to launch apps, change settings, adjust windows, and control on-screen elements, but it's not a feature I need or want. It would take me months, if not years, to get as fast with touch gestures as I am with a trackpad, and I'd never be able to replace the keyboard. The display's touch feature is useful for drawing and sketching, and likely convenient for workflows like video editing, but I'm not sure it has appeal beyond that. There aren't many Mac tasks that are easier to do or more accessible with touch controls. Also, a display this big and this glossy really shows fingerprints. Webcam and Speakers There is a built-in 8-megapixel webcam, and it is higher quality than the camera in my MacBook Pro (not hard to achieve). Since I don't do a ton of video calls, it's not a super important feature for me, but someone who is often in video meetings might appreciate it more. The camera can tilt for adjusting the angle depending on where you're positioned, but it is a wider angle than I'm used to with a webcam and the framing is awkward. When the camera is not in use, there's a physical cover for privacy purposes. The speakers are fine, but nothing special. I wouldn't use them over standalone speakers or a Mac's speakers. Voice calls and short video content sound fine, but music sounds one-dimensional. Bottom Line Acer's ProDesigner PE320QXT wasn't built for the Mac, and it's obvious. It requires a lot of software to work, and it's software that Acer didn't even design. You can use it with the Mac, but the Mac was an afterthought. The touch hardware works well, and if you want a 31.5-inch drawing surface, this display does that. You can make this work with a favorite creative app, and it's a lot of fun to have such a big digital canvas. There are rumors that Apple is working on a touchscreen OLED MacBook, so macOS could get more touch-friendly in the near future and that might change how useful the display is. macOS wasn't built to be used with a touchscreen, and I would bet money that no Mac user is going to speed up an established and comfortable Mac workflow with Acer's display. The only reason to choose this display over another 6K display is the touch feature. If you want a big touch surface, the ProDesigner is a good option and it's priced well for what it is. If you need a Mac display for any other purpose, you're probably better off getting something else. How to Buy The Acer ProDesigner PE320QXT can be purchased from B&H for $1,299.99 .

Apple Arcade in September: Four new games added to the service again this month
Macworld Gaming subscription services are all the rage now, but Apple Arcade isnt a little different from the likes of PlayStation Plus, EA Play, or Xbox Game Pass. If youve got questions about it, weve got plenty of answers. Updated September 4, 2026: There are four new games on the service again this month: Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+ , Block Blast+ , Coloring Games for Families+ , and Lets Play! Oink Games+ . What is Apple Arcade? Apple Arcade is a gaming subscription service for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and AppleTV that features several hundred games. The games are a mix of genres and styles, and include original games youll only find on the service and others that can be found on the regular App Store or even other platforms. Apple Arcade isnt a streaming service like Xbox Live Cloud Gaming or GeForce NOW. Games must be downloaded onto your device in order to be played. What do I need to run it? Apple Arcade was made available as part of iOS 13, iPad OS 13, tvOS 13, and macOS Catalina or later. Some of the more visually-intensive games may only run well on newer hardware, though, and some Mac games require macOS 11 (Big Sur). How much does Apple Arcade cost?

If youre currently on the $6.99 month-to-month plan and want to switch to the annual plan and save some money, you can do so on youriPhone or iPad. Open the App Store app, then tap your account icon in the upper right. Tap Subscriptions , then tap the entry for Apple Arcade . Here, you can switch to the annual plan. Apple Arcade is also included in the Apple One subscription bundles , which range from $20 a month to $38 a month and include access to Apple Music and Apple TV and iCloud storage. There is also a month free trial of Apple One. To claim the trial, or sign up for Apple One, click here . How do I sign up for Apple Arcade? There isnt an Apple Arcade appits built into the App Store. On your iPhone, iPad, or Mac open the App Store and look for the Apple Arcade tab at the bottom of the screen (or in the left column on macOS). A sign-up screen with a Try It Free button will appear. After the trial youll be charged either the monthly or annual fee, depending on your selection. When subscribing, youll need to enter your Apple ID password or use Touch ID or Face ID to sign in, and youll have to confirm your subscription purchase a few times. Once youre done with the sign up, the Arcade section of the App Store shows what games are available to you. To access a game, tap on it in the App Store, then tap the Get button. When the game is done installing on your device, the Get button turns into a Play button, and you can tap it to launch the game. The game app icon will also appear on your devices Home page. On the Apple TV, there actually is an Arcade app. Open that to see the sign-up offer. Youll also find an Arcade tab within the App Store. Does my subscription include family sharing? Yes. One $6.99 per month subscription can be shared between up to six people (including you). How do I cancel Apple Arcade? First off, keep in mind that if you cancel Apple Arcade (either before your free trial is up or after subscribing), you wont be able to keep playing the games unless you re-subscribe. If youre okay with that, you can use the same process you use to cancel any other subscription service. Heres the easiest way to do it on the iPhone and iPad: Open the App Store app and tap on your profile photo in the upper right. In the screen that pops up, press Subscriptions near the top of the page. Youll then see a list of active subscriptions, and Apple Arcade should be listed there. Tap it. Youll either see Cancel Free Trial or Cancel Subscription toward the middle of the page that appears. Tap whatever option is available , then Confirm Cancellation . And heres how to cancel Apple Arcade on the Mac: Open the App Store app and then press the icon with your profile photo in the lower left. The Account window will appear, and you should then click View Information at the top of the window. Enter your password when/if prompted. When your Account Information appears, scroll down to the Manage section and click the Manage link to the right of Subscriptions . When the list of your active subscriptions appears, click Edit to the right of Apple Arcade . Toward the middle of the page that appears, youll see a button that says either Cancel Free Trial or Cancel Subscription . Click it, then click Confirm Cancellation and Confirm . Do Apple Arcade games have in-app purchases? No. In Apples words, since every game includes access to the full experience, including all game features, content, and future updates, no additional purchases will be required. Even games that have in-app purchases on the App Store wont have any in Apple Arcade. Do Apple Arcade games have ads? Also no. On a related note, Apple says Apple Arcade has no ad tracking. Is Apple Arcade a game streaming service like GeForce NOW or Xbox Game Streaming? No. All Apple Arcade are downloaded. Are there demos for Apple Arcade games? No, and theyre not really necessary. Like App Store apps, games download quickly and can easily be removed if you dont want to keep it anymore. Apple partly envisions Apple Arcade as a way of letting players try out games with more freedom than the App Store currently allows (which is basically none). In Apples words, rather than pay upfront for each game, a subscription to Apple Arcade will give players the opportunity to try any game in the service without risk. The service has a free trial, though, as weve seen with other Apple subscription services. Am I able to keep playing Apple Arcade games if I cancel my subscription? No. As with most subscription services, you only have access while youre a subscriber. Can I use controllers with Apple Arcade games? Yes. In additional to traditional MFi (Made for iOS) controllers, you can pair some specific Bluetooth controllers for either PlayStation or Xbox with either your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Since many Apple Arcade games are playable on Mac and Apple TV (where controller support is more common), many games will support them. Some games, especially those that are also available in the broader App Store and only for iPhone or iPad, have no controller support. Recently Apple relaxed the requirements for MFi controller certification, which may have grown out of the Apple Arcade negotiations. How often are new games released? Games are typically released on the first Friday of each month. There are some rare exceptions. What games have been released so far?

MacRumors Giveaway: Win an iPad Air and Revamped Rock Paper Pencil Kit From Astropad
For this week's giveaway, we've once again teamed up with Astropad to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an M4 iPad Air , an Apple Pencil Pro, and an Astropad Rock Paper Pencil kit to use with it. The $49.99 Rock Paper Pencil is a screen protector and Apple Pencil tip combo that makes writing on your iPad feel like writing on a piece of paper instead of a slippery glass display. It's a more comfortable and natural writing and drawing experience. A non-adhesive paper-textured screen protector attaches to the iPad's display, with a custom tip added to the Apple Pencil. The paper-like feel of the screen comes from a microscopic texture that adds friction to improve control. Astropad this week launched the fourth iteration of Rock Paper Pencil, and it now comes with tips that have a different feel. There's a new graphite tip that's meant to feel like writing with a 2B pencil, which Astropad says is ideal for sketching and shading. It even sounds like writing with a pencil on paper when you use it. There's also a ballpoint tip that feels like using with a smooth gel pen. It's ideal for writing and linework. Two of each kind of tip are included in the kit. When you want to use your iPad for watching videos or playing games, you can take off the screen protector and store it away in a protective sleeve. It attaches to the iPad with Astropad's NanoCling technology, so there's no adhesive to deal with. For those who dislike the unnatural feel of writing or drawing on a glass surface with a plastic Apple Pencil tip, Rock Paper Pencil is worth checking out. Rock Paper Pencil is compatible with all of Apple's M2 , M3, M4, and M5 iPads, as well as many older iPads. We have a Rock Paper Pencil kit, an M4 iPad Air, and an Apple Pencil Pro for one lucky MacRumors reader. To enter to win, use the widget below and enter an email address.

Macworld The John Ternus era is entering like a wave. According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman, the Surprise and Shine iPhone event on Wednesday will kick off, the biggest run of device releases in [Apples] history, delivering a wave of fresh form factors and whole new product areas in 2026, 2027 and beyond. I say that the run actually started with the Mac Studio and Mac mini announcements about a week ago, which arent shipping until late September, so you might reason that its kind of a false start. (Im a Mac guy first, what can I say?) In any case, Gurman points out that Apple has a full release schedule for 2026 and beyond. Everything here has been previously reported, but heres a quick look at what Gurman says is coming, along with links to our coverage.

Komal Nahta, one of Indias prominent trade analysts, has returned with a new season of his podcast Game Changers: The Music Series, which features conversations with singers, composers and musicians about their journeys, influences and experiences in the music industry. The latest episode featured musician Adnan Sami, who reflected on his early years in music and how his identity as a pianist gradually expanded to include singing. Speaking about whether he considers himself a musician or a pianist, Adnan Sami said that he has always primarily viewed himself as a pianist. He recalled developing an interest in music at a young age and beginning his journey with the instrument when he was five. Adnan said, I consider myself a pianist first. I always had a dream, since childhood, to be a pianist and a music composer. I started playing the piano at the age of five, and by the age of seven, I had composed my first piece of music. At the age of 15, I started making music and demos. I used to think, If Kishore Kumar and Rafi Sahab could sing my music, it would be so great. After a while, people started saying that the music sounded good in my voice. I never took it seriously, but when more people, apart from my parents, started complimenting me, especially my cousins, I started believing it. Adnan further explained that his transition into singing was initially driven by circumstance rather than a deliberate decision to pursue another musical identity. He said that he began lending his voice to his own compositions because he could not find other singers willing to record them. I started singing my songs because no one else wanted to sing them. Necessity is the mother of invention. In the beginning, when people introduced me as a singer; I felt weird, as I still considered myself a pianist. Then, with time, I got used to it, he added. Over the course of his career, Adnan Sami has established himself as a pianist, composer and singer, with his work spanning Indian film music and independent music. His conversation with Komal Nahta offers insight into the early stages of that journey and the circumstances that shaped his eventual career as a singer. Game Changers: The Music Series features conversations with personalities from the Indian music industry, exploring their creative processes, influences and career experiences. The latest episode featuring Adnan Sami is available on the YouTube channel for Game Changers: The Music Series.

Earbuds Baseus MC2 NC Debuts With -45dB Open-Ear ANC At IFA 2026
Baseus has expanded its personal audio lineup at IFA 2026 with the introduction of the Baseus MC2 NC , a new clip-on open-ear earbud engineered with active noise cancellation . Serving as the direct successor to the previous MC2 model , the devices standout distinction is the integration of high-performance ANC into an unsealed acoustic form factor. Active noise cancellation has historically proven difficult to implement on open-ear designs due to the lack of a physical silicone seal inside the ear canal. Most existing clip-on models with ambient reduction capabilities achieve modest noise cancellation levels of around -20 dB . In contrast, Baseus claims the MC2 NC reaches noise reduction depths as low as -45 dB . This figure positions the device well ahead of current open-ear competitors and narrows the gap with traditional in-ear ANC earphones , which typically achieve between -60 dB and -70 dB of isolation. To achieve this level of attenuation without deep ear insertion, the MC2 NC utilizes an Air Ear Wing structure designed to establish a natural acoustic barrier against ambient sound. This architecture operates alongside a dual adaptive ANC system , which dynamically adjusts cancellation waves based on surrounding noise profiles. The earbuds also feature a dual air chamber design , aiming to balance passive acoustic positioning with long-term wearing comfort during workdays, workouts, and commutes. By pushing open-ear cancellation performance toward levels associated with closed-ear products , Baseus seeks to offer users reduced environmental distractions while retaining the spatial awareness and comfort inherent to clip-on audio . The MC2 NC Clip-on ANC Earbuds will officially reach consumer markets in October 2026 . Earbuds Baseus MC2 NC Debuts With -45dB Open-Ear ANC At IFA 2026 , original content from Ubergizmo .

The RockNeo Q2 LiDAR handles coverage areas of up to 800 m ( 8,611 sq ft ), making it suitable for small to mid-sized residential yards. Perception System: The mower integrates Roborocks Sentisphere LiDAR environmental perception technology to build a detailed spatial map of the yard. Obstacle Detection: Built-in ReactiVision Fusion allows the unit to identify and maneuver around typical yard obstructions in real time. Wire-Free Deployment: The navigation architecture eliminates the requirement for physical perimeter wires or external RTK reference antennas, significantly streamlining initial setup. The mowing hardware focuses on close-boundary operation and adapting to uneven surfaces: Floating Cutting Deck: Adjusts dynamically to ground contours to maintain an even cut height across undulations, preventing scalping. PreciEdge Module: An integrated edge-cutting system trims along lawn borders and hard surfaces down to a 3 cm (1.18 inches) margin. Autonomous Operation: The combination of surface tracking and edge trimming reduces the need for manual touch-ups with string trimmers. The RockNeo Q2 LiDAR represents Roborocks ongoing effort to expand its core automation competencies beyond indoor floor care. While the company presented a range of products at IFAincluding pool cleaners, high-threshold robot vacuums, and wet-dry systemsthe Q2 LiDAR marks a direct move into outdoor property care.

Lexar is joining the IFA 2026 announcements with a wild new portable SSD called Muse. This is being billed by Lexar as the worlds thinnest portable SSD, measuring just 3.8mm at its thickest point. It tapers further down to only 1mm around the edges, which is seriously impressive. That makes it more like a thin metal card than the usual chunky external drive were used to, and Lexar says it pulled that off with high-density NAND stacking and a custom ultra-thin PCB architecture.
