12 ways to use your iPhone

Macworld It took the iPhone an eternity to strike Lightning in favor of the universal USB-C port. Now that its here on all models, including the low-end 16e, many users still limit its use to charging, overlooking the slew of other advantages it offers over Lightning. If youve got an iPhone 15 or newer, you can expand the USB-C ports functionality beyond fast charging, and weve got a few ideas to share. 1. Charge another device Rival companies, like Samsung, have long supported reverse wireless charging, letting users turn their smartphones into portable Qi pads. However, its not all that practical, forcing users to flip over their phones and rendering both unusable. With the iPhone 15 and newer models, Apple introduced its own version that works via the USB-C port. Your iPhone can now deliver up to 4.5W of power, letting you charge your AirPods, Apple Watch, or even a friends Android phone. To do so, simply plug your USB-C cable into the iPhone and the other end into the USB-C port on the other device. 2. Increase your storage Even with 128 GB as the standard, weve probably all come across the iPhones full storage alert. While data stored in iCloud can easily be offloaded from the local memory, not all users trust cloud storage. Fortunately, the iPhone supports a wide range of external storage devices, including USB sticks and hard drives. This makes it easy to free up space by moving large files to a separate drive. To get started, connect a compatible flash drive to your iPhone using its USB-C port. You can then view, manage, and transfer data using the built-in Files app. One of the solid options out there is this tiny Samsung Type-C Flash Drive ($80), which supports regular file transfers and real-time ProRes video storage. As a Pro exclusive, those with the highest-end iPhone models can directly record ProRes video to a compatible external storage device. Given the considerable size of raw footage, being able to write the data directly onto a separate device can help you shoot for longer periods and avoid filling up your iPhones memory. Your iPhones USB-C cable can do more than just charge your iPhone. Foundry 3. Connect a keyboard While iPads and Macs are better suited for long-form typing, iPhonesespecially the near-7-inch Plus and Pro Max modelscan still handle productivity tasks effectively. To make the most of the relatively small screen, though, you may want to pair it with a dedicated keyboard. Fortunately, iOS natively supports this through the USB-C port. Most standard keyboards, such as this compact Macally keyboard ($30), will work with your iPhone just fine. Or if you want to always have a keyboard with you, you can opt for a Clicks case ($139), which connects to your USB-C port so its always ready for a text or email. 4. Amplify your microphone In the era of TikTok, everyone is a content creator, so a high-quality microphone is an essential tool. Fortunately, your iPhones USB-C port can support a wide range of them, letting you pair your footage with crystal-clear high-quality audio. One reliable option is the Rode Wireless Micro ($85), which utilizes your iPhones port while maintaining the convenience of wireless recording. 5. Add an SD card Photographers and videographers love the handy SD card slots on board the newest MacBook Pro and Mac Studio, but that convenience doesnt extend to the device that does most of your shooting. Fortunately, that can be easily remedied with a wired SD card reader. While newer cameras generally support wireless photo transfers via their respective companion apps, the process tends to be slower than the wired alternative. Apples USB-C to SD Card Reader ($39) connects to your iPhone through its charging port and should work with all relevant SD cards. You can also use this same dongle with your Mac or iPad when editing on a larger screen. 6. Hook up an external display If youre staying at a hotel that blocks wireless media casting, you may be able to mirror your iPhones screen to the TV using a wired solution. Apples USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter ($69) transforms your iPhones charging port into an HDMI connector, allowing you to watch 4K content on bigger displays using a regular HDMI cable. Your iPhone can connect to most displays with a single cable. Foundry 7. Plug in a game controller Thanks to the A17 and A18 chips, the latest Pro-tier iPhones can run some AAA games. Notably, though, these titles typically need a controller, as touch controls dont always offer the best gameplay, if theyre available at all. While Sonys DualSense controller ($75) supports Bluetooth pairing, opting for wired mode using the iPhones USB-C port can minimize latency and enhance overall performance. 8. Connect to Ethernet Speaking of gaming, the iPhone fully supports Ethernet dongles, allowing for faster download and upload speeds. While Wi-Fi and 5G are sufficient for most users, Ethernet can come in handy when seeking an even more dependable connection. Belkins USB-C to Ethernet Adapter ($23) is one of the solid options that is guaranteed to get the job done. 9. Peer into small places There are many accessories that you can plug into your iPhones USB-C port, but none are cooler than a borescope/endoscope camera . Basically, its a snake wire with a tiny HD endoscope camera at the end and an LCD light. Its flexible yet rigid enough to fit into the smallest of crevices, and youll wonder how you ever lived without it. We havent tested them, but this model has a 4.3-star rating with nearly 7,000 reviews and costs just $30. You can attach a tiny USB-C camera to your iPhones USB-C port to see into small places. Amazon 10. Cool off in summer With temperatures steadily rising all around the world, we can all use a little relief during long days outdoors. Your iPhones USB-C port can help there too. This 17,000 RPM 4-setting high-speed fan ($15) plugs directly into your iPhones USB-C port and offers a focused airflow channel that generates a high-speed airflow of up to 36 ft/s. Reviewers praise its size, portability, and low-power requirements, but youll just appreciate a quick blast of cool air when youre overheating. 11. Plug and dont play When youre not using your iPhones USB-C port, its just a gaping hole at the bottom of your phone waiting to collect dust, dirt, and lint. A USB-C plug will make sure your port stays clean and clear for as long as you use your iPhone. You can get a bunch of them ($7) for just a few bucks or you can get one that sticks to the back of your phone ($8) so you dont keep losing them. An added bonus: it doubles as a handy pinkie rest when youre using your iPhone with one hand. 12. Talk to your car Apple introduced wireless CarPlay a few years ago, but if you dont have a newer car, youll still need to plug into your cars USB port. For that, youll need a USB cable that supports data and charging, and one thats long enough to reach wherever your cars USB-C port is, and flexible enough not to get caught on any knobs or vents. A coiled USB-C cable is perfect for such instances, such as these popular Chubby Cable car-charging cables that come in USB-C-to-USB-C and USB-C-to-USB-A options for $20, as well as a variety of colors. One port can do it all The biggest detriment of the iPhone is that theres just one port, but a USB hub can give you much more. We recommend the Plugable 7-in-1 USB-C Hub Multiport Adapter ($40), which will bring a headphone jack, USB-C charging, HDMI, an SD card reader, Ethernet, and even a couple of USB-A ports for good measure. Its not exactly small, but if you need to use several ports at once, theres no substitute. Your iPhones USB-C port is a multi-purpose connector for displays, hard drives, and other accessories.

Brydge ProDock Trio review: A premium Thunderbolt 5 MacBook dock

Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Space-saving vertical design 3x Thunderbolt 5 ports 2.5Gb Ethernet 140W PD 3.1 laptop charging Wireless iPhone charging Cons MacBooks own screen unavailable Wireless iPhone charging is slow Premium price Our Verdict The sleek Brydge ProDock Trio saves desk space while adding Thunderbolt 5, 2.5GbE, faster USB-C and 140W charging to your MacBook. These meaningful upgrades make it worth the extra $40 over the cheaper Duo while the Trio is discounted to $399, especially if you value its tidy vertical design.

A vertical docking station for MacBooks that reduces a docks natural desk footprint. Who is it for? MacBook owners looking to connect multiple displays and fast Thunderbolt 5 devices. Who shouldnt buy it? People who want to use their MacBook screen at the same time as external monitors. Most docking stations sit or stand separately from the host laptop that connects via a single USB-C or Thunderbolt cable. You want to hide them and their snaky cables away from sight. The Brydge ProDock takes a different approach, being a vertical dock that you slide your closed MacBook into so that it connects with the docks built-in connector to make every port, display, and connection instantly live with minimal footprint and clutter. It even features a MagSafe-compatible wireless charging pad for your iPhone. Brydge Its a sleek dock aesthetic that puts all the tech (including your MacBook) into one compact and convenient desk placement. When you want to take your laptop away from the desk, you simply lift it out without having to disconnect and then reconnect any cables. The top-end Brydge ProDock Trio reviewed here is part of a wider ProDock range, starting with the new entry-level ProDock Solo , and a refreshed Thunderbolt 4 ProDock Duo . Packing Thunderbolt 5, the ProDock Trio delivers the highest bandwidth and multi-display performance for power users. Simon Jary What ports does the Brydge ProDock Trio have? The Brydge ProDock Trio includes four Thunderbolt 5 ports, one USB-C port, three USB-A ports, 2.5Gb Ethernet, an SD card reader, a 3.5mm audio jack and 140W host charging. The Thunderbolt 5 ports are fully backwards compatible with lesser Thunderbolt 4 MacBook Pro and Air models. While these wont be able to take advantage of TB5s full 80/120Gbps, the dock will remain useful to you when you upgrade to a Thunderbolt 5 MacBook. Thunderbolt 5 will be the mainstay connection for Macs for the foreseeable future so buying in now is a sensible decision. If you simply dont need such bandwidth you can save some money by opting for the Thunderbolt 4 ProDock Duo that hosts a similar rack of dock ports. ProDock Trio One upstream Thunderbolt 5 connector (80Gbps, 140W) inside sleeve Three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports (80Gbps, 15W) at rear 1x USB-C (10Gbps, 5.5W) on side 1 2x USB-A (10Gbps, 5.5W) at rear 1x USB-A (10Gbps, 5.5W) on side 2 Ethernet (2.5Gb) at rear SD Card Reader (4.0, UHS-II, 312MBps) on side 1 MagSafe Compatible Phone Charger (10W) on front 3.5mm combo audio jack on side 2 180W power supply Missing are video ports, with the three downstream Thunderbolt ports taking on the display connection jobs. This is a flexible approach with the caveat that you may have to add adapter cables if your monitor demands either DisplayPort or HDMI. While a dedicated DisplayPort or HDMI port can save you having to invest in adapter cables, most modern monitors include USB-C or Thunderbolt connections, and leaving the choice up to the user means the docks Thunderbolt ports can be used for either video or other devices as required. An HDMI port when your display has a USB-C connection is likely a wasted one, and when there are only eleven each port needs to count. On one side theres a 10Gbps USB-C port and fast SD card reader. Simon Jary The other side has an audio jack and a 10Gbps USB-A port. Simon Jary And because the MacBook connects vertically you still have access to the laptops own HDMI port, plus a Thunderbolt and SD card reader slot at the top. There is one extra USB-C port (10Gbps) alongside the faster Thunderbolts (80Gbps). It would have been a bonus for this port to have a higher power output than its mere 5.5W. Fast-charging an iPhone or iPad requires at least 18W. Brydge Theres a handy MagSafe-compatible wireless charging pad on the dock, but its also relatively slow at 10W. A certified MagSafe or Qi2 charging pad would have increased this to 15W or even 25W. There are three legacy USB-A ports (10Gbps) that should be plenty in todays USB-C-dominated world. With the USB-C port and the three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports, there are enough connections for most users. With fast 2.5Gb Ethernet now the norm on top-end docking stations, its appreciated here. It will work with the more standard Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE), and future-proofs your investment for when you upgrade network speeds. Brydge Design and build One of the reasons youll be considering any of the ProDock models is the tidy vertical arrangement. Its a convenient design if youre not planning on using the MacBooks own screen. In my home office I have a dual-stacked monitor while my closed MacBook lies flat on the desk taking up too much of whats left of the desk when its hosting the large screens, a keyboard and mouseplus my glass of water and coffee cup. The ProDock entirely takes away the MacBooks desk hogging. At the point of purchase you choose the Sleeve Adapter (the part the laptop fits into) for your size MacBook from a choice of four: MacBook Air (13in or 15in, M2-M5), MacBook Pro (14in or 16in, M1-M5). Even though it wont get the full benefit of Thunderbolt 5, a MacBook Air can still use the ProDock Trio, although a Duo probably makes more sense. You screw this onto the dock, with screws and screwdriver included. There are little padded stickers for the MacBooks USB-C ports to protect from frequent insertion and removal. The MacBook fits in only one way so you cant choose which side of ports sticks out the top and is still available for use. That means the MagSafe 3 power connector cant be used, but isnt required as the dock supplies the power via the Thunderbolt connection. But it also means one of the MacBooks three TB ports goes unused. HDMI, SD slot and one TB port remain available for use at the top, depending on your MacBook model, of course. With the MacBook out of the sleeve, the ProDock is 127mm tall. Including the magnetic wireless charging section, it is 203mm long. Its width depends on which sleeve is in use for your MacBook models size. Brydge What display setups can the Brydge ProDock Trio handle? Any dock user wants to hook up to an external monitor, and this becomes essential when your MacBooks lid has to be closed to fit in the ProDocks sleeve. You can connect up to three displays from the dock if your Mac supports it. Macs with an M5 Pro or Max can handle up to three 6K displays at 144Hz (DSC) or two 8K at 60Hz with this dock. M1/M2/M3 Max, plus all M4/M5 variants, support up to two 8K displays at 60Hz. M1/M2/M3 Pro support up to two 6K displays at 60Hz with DSC-enabled monitors; two 4K/60Hz without DSC. MacBook Air models with M3/M4/M5 chip support up to two 6K/60Hz displays (DSC). MacBook Air models with a base M1/M2 chip support only a single 4K display. The MacBook Neo has a similar limitation but doesnt fit any of the ProDock models. MacBook Pro users can still use the exposed HDMI port and keep one of the docks Thunderbolt 5 ports free for another device. Brydge How much power can the ports output? The upstream Thunderbolt 5 port can supply up to 140W of power (PD 3.1) to your connected laptop, which is enough to fast-charge even the top-end 16-inch MacBook Pro. The dock is less able, however, at outputting power to other devices, which might be because of its now rather average 180W power supply. With a possible 140W going to the MacBook, there might not be a whole lot left for other devices. If the laptop is taking just 100W or less (as is likely), the 180W should be fine. None of the Thunderbolt ports can deliver more than 15W of power, which is enough to charge a connected iPhone or iPad but not fast-charge them. The USB-C port is rated at just 5.5W, which should be fine for your AirPods case or Apple Watch. USB-A isnt up to fast-charging so its low charging output is less of an issue. If Brydge had included a 20W or 30W USB-C port or allowed for one of the Thunderbolt ports at that power output, and then boosted the power supply to 240W, this dock would better suit pro users in a studio situation. ProDock family If you dont need Thunderbolts full 80Gbps bandwidth, Brydge has two cheaper vertical models for you to consider. Brydge ProDock Solo ( $229 ) Brydge With an HDMI 2.0 port, this single-display dock is aimed more at MacBook Air users. The MacBook Neos USB-C port configuration doesnt yet fit a ProDock sleeve. One upstream USB-C connector (10Gbps, 90W) 2x USB-C (5Gbps, 5.5W) 3x USB-A (5Gbps, 5.5W) Ethernet (1Gb) SD Card Reader (3.0, UHS-I, 104MBps) on side 1 MagSafe Compatible Phone Charger (10W) on front 3.5mm combo audio jack 135W power supply Brydge ProDock Solo Price When Reviewed: $229 Best Prices Today: $229 at Brydge Brydge ProDock Duo ( $359 ) Brydge This Thunderbolt 4 model also lacks some of the Trios faster port variations, such as 2.5Gb Ethernet and 10Gbps USB-C in favor of slower versions but costs less. Unless you are planning on connecting to a fast network or connecting a speedier storage drive, these arent automatically limitations. One upstream Thunderbolt 4 connector (40Gbps, 98W) Three downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports (40Gbps, 15W) 1x USB-C (5Gbps, 5.5W) 3x USB-A (10Gbps, 5.5W) Ethernet (1Gb) SD Card Reader (4.0, UHS-II, 312MBps) MagSafe Compatible Phone Charger (10W) 3.5mm combo audio jack 135W power supply Brydge ProDock Duo Price When Reviewed: $399 Best Prices Today: $359 at Amazon | $359 at Brydge Brydge Is the Brydge ProDock Trio worth its price? The ProDock Trio Thunderbolt 5 Dock is priced at $459 but is currently discounted to $399 . It is planned to be available via Amazon in the coming weeks, but not on international Amazon until 2027 so non-US customers may encounter higher shipping and custom fees. Thunderbolt 5 docking stations start at $300, so you are paying a premium for the space-saving and pleasing vertical design and required sleeve. Its difficult to compare it to other Thunderbolt 5 docking stations as its design is so unique. If you want dedicated display ports and more powerful ports, check out the options in our roundup of the best Thunderbolt docks. If youre stuck choosing between the $399 ProDock Trio and $359 ProDock Duo, at the current pricing we recommend the Trio if you can go the extra mile. You get Thunderbolt 5 and 2.5Gb Ethernet (both useful for future-proofing even if you dont need them now), faster USB-C, and higher power output (180W vs 135W). Should you buy the Brydge ProDock Trio? If you desire the vertical format for space-saving or purely aesthetic reasons, the sleek Thunderbolt 5 Brydge ProDock Trio is a neat, unique solution that adds a tidy stack of speedy connections to your MacBook without messing up your desk.

Divya Dutta and Jimmy Shergill team up for Prem Prakash Modis intense family drama Tum Rahe Na Tum

Divya Dutta and Jimmy Shergill are set to share the screen in the upcoming psychological relationship drama Tum Rahe Na Tum, directed by Prem Prakash Modi. The film promises to explore the complexities of family relationships and the emotional tensions that can emerge within them. Produced by Vinni Chawla and Sonu Katyal under the banner Fanatically Filmi Pvt. Ltd., the film is an adaptation of Swedish playwright August Strindbergs acclaimed play The Father. The story brings the emotional and psychological themes of the original work into an Indian family setting, focusing on love, control, insecurity, parental expectations, toxic masculinity and ego. Tum Rahe Na Tum is an intimate exploration of relationships and the emotional spaces people inhabit within a family. I wanted to look at what happens when love, expectations, insecurity, ego and ideas of masculinity begin to affect the way people see each other. The film is rooted in a very Indian family setting, but the emotions are universal. Said director Prem Prakash Modi. Talking about the lead actors, Modi praised their ability to bring depth and authenticity to their respective characters. Jimmy Shergill has a rare ability to make a complex character feel deeply real which made him perfect for the role. Divya Dutta, on the other hand, brings an incredible ability to portray strength, vulnerability and complexity at the same time. I felt that the combination of Jimmy and Divya would bring exactly the kind of layered, lived-in relationship that the film demands. Both Jimmy and Divya are stepping into characters and emotional spaces that audiences havent seen them explore before. Divya Dutta also spoke about what drew her to the project. What attracted me to the film was that nobody in this family is completely innocent or completely guilty. It is a very human, uncomfortable and layered story, and that complexity is what made the film particularly compelling for me, she said. Jimmy Shergill added, Tum Rahe Na Tum immediately drew me in because of how deeply human and emotionally complex it is. It is the kind of story that makes you question what you see, what you believe and how people can experience the same relationship very differently, The film also features Harsh Chhaya, Zarina Wahab and Rajesh Jais in important roles, adding to its ensemble cast. With its focus on complicated family dynamics and psychological conflict, Tum Rahe Na Tum aims to present a layered and emotionally intense story.

24 Years of Bend It Like Beckham: Gurinder Chadhas film is the ONLY movie to have been distributed in every country, including North Korea; TV premiere was CENSORED by nearly 50 minutes

Gurinder Chadha's Bend It Like Beckham (2002) celebrated its 24th anniversary on July 12. The UK production featured a predominantly Indian cast, along with Keira Knightley and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in prominent roles. Made on a modest budget of just $5.6 million, the film went on to gross a remarkable $92.2 million worldwide. Bend It Like Beckham also achieved a rare distinction it was screened in North Korea. During the promotions of her film Christmas Karma (2025), Gurinder Chadha told Mid-Day's Mayank Shekhar, Bend It Like Beckham remains the only film in the history of cinema to have been distributed in every country of the world, including North Korea! Bend It Like Beckham was first screened in North Korea at the 9th Pyongyang International Film Festival in 2004. Festival organizer Nicholas Bonner wrote his first-hand account of the screening of the film. He wrote, If a film is popular, it soon sells out. Which is exactly what happened with Bend It Like Beckham. The film was a hit! It screened at 3 cinemas for 4 days and reached an audience of 12,000. An astonishing number in such a short time. Then, on December 26, 2010, the film made history by airing nationwide on North Korean state television (Korean Central Television). Nick Bonner, the man behind Beijing-based Koryo Tours, said, This is the first Western film broadcast throughout the whole of North Korea. The broadcast was negotiated by the British Embassy in Pyongyang, led by Ambassador Peter Hughes, to commemorate 10 years of diplomatic relations between the UK and the DPRK. However, as per reports, the 112-minute-long film was heavily censored and trimmed to just an hour for its North Korean broadcast. As per an article in Mail & Guardian, Although Bend It like Beckham is about a sport beloved among North Koreans, the film also tackles taboo topics, including interracial relationships, homosexuality and religion. Bend It Like Beckham is about a soccer-mad teenage girl in London who revolts against her traditional Punjabi family by idolizing David Beckham and playing football in a local all-female team. It also starred Parminder Nagra, Anupam Kher, Zohra Sehgal and others.

Ayushmann Khurrana visits Jalna; calls for safer childhoods for children affected by seasonal migration

UNICEF India National Ambassador Ayushmann Khurrana visited Jalna in Maharashtra to interact with children, families and community members as part of a UNICEF-supported Kinship and Community Care programme aimed at protecting children affected by seasonal migration. The programme focuses on strengthening family- and community-based care while helping children remain connected to education, healthcare, nutrition and psychosocial support. Khurrana was accompanied by UNICEF India Representative a.i. Jesper Moller, along with government and NGO partners supporting the initiative. During his visit, the actor met children and adolescents and learnt about the challenges faced by families dealing with distress-driven seasonal migration. For many marginalised families, seasonal migration can increase children's vulnerability to child labour, child marriage, disrupted education, neglect and violence. Children who remain behind with grandparents or extended family may continue attending school and accessing essential services, but can also experience emotional distress, limited supervision and increased household responsibilities. The Kinship and Community Care programme in Jalna, implemented with the District Administration and NGO partners, seeks to create a stronger safety net around such children. By bringing together Gram Panchayats and frontline service providers, the initiative helps connect children and families with education, healthcare, nutrition and psychosocial support while reducing the risks of child labour and child marriage. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ayushmann Khurrana (@ayushmannk) Speaking after his interactions with children and community members, Khurrana said, Seasonal distress driven migration is not a choice. It is the stark reality for many families, said Ayushmann Khurrana, after meeting children and community members No child should have to lose their childhood because of circumstances beyond their control. In Jalna, I saw communities coming together to protect children affected by migration and keep them connected to family, care and support. Kinship care does more than provide a safe home. It preserves relationships, restores confidence and gives children hope for a better future. Khurrana also met young community leaders, including Shankar Asaram, whose work as a youth volunteer earned him community trust and led to his election as village Sarpanch. He further interacted with Pratiksha, a Class 12 student and a Balmitra who has witnessed the impact of migration on adolescent girls. Balmitras serve as trusted role models within their communities, supporting children's rights, safety and wellbeing. Their work encourages children to remain in school and helps prevent child labour and child marriage. India has strong laws to protect children, including the Juvenile Justice Act, which completes 10 years this year. What matters now is to make sure that these protective measures are felt by every child and family, including those living with the challenges of seasonal migration, said Ayushmann Khurrana. During the visit, Khurrana also met adolescent girls, children and families to understand how the programme operates at the village level. Reflecting on his interaction with the girls, he said, I met 18-year-old Shilpa, who once migrated with her family. Today, she completed school and joined a vocational course that hopefully can help her break the intergenerational cycle of seasonal migration. Girls' dreams can be fulfilled when children grow up educated, healthy and safe. Khurrana also met a family providing kinship care to two young grandchildren while their father migrates for seasonal work. With support from Balmitras and the wider community, the children continue attending school and receiving nutrition and immunization services. Reflecting on his visit, Khurrana said, Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving and nurturing family environment. While the government provides legislations and schemes to protect children, I am proud to see UNICEF, the Government of Maharashtra, the district administration and village communities coming together so every child is safe and cared for. Jesper Moller, UNICEF India Representative a.i., said, UNICEF is proud to support the Jalna District Administration in providing a safe and nurturing environment for the most vulnerable children. Violence against children is preventable. As the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 marks 10 years, we must strengthen last-mile systems to identify risks early and connect families to essential services and social protection. UNICEF greatly appreciates Ayushmann Khurrana for lending his voice and influence to this important cause and championing every child's right to safety and care. Khurrana and Moller also met the District Collector of Jalna and acknowledged the impact of the programme in supporting children and families facing the challenges associated with seasonal migration.
