If you have read or watched any of my content over the last few years, you might have realized that my iPad Pro is my main computer. Yes, I have a Mac Mini, but when it comes to getting actual work done, I always gravitate towards my iPad (I am currently writing this on my iPad). Something about the combination of gorgeous hardware and single app optimization nature of the software really makes the iPad a joy to use. With the release of iPadOS 18 we got an abundance of new features that has helped me double and triple down on this sentiment. We all know the headlining features, but I want to share a few other features that not many people know about. Lets get into it!

I got an early, hands-on look at the new Samsung S25 lineup, most importantly the S25 Ultra. I was curious to see what the best of the best from Samsung was like compared to the Apple counterpart, the iPhone 16 Pro Max. What really stood out to me about these phones is that we have seemed to reach a peak when it comes to form factor. The rectangular, candy bar design breathes a lot of similarities across both devices and so do the internal specs. So the only thing left here to truly compare is going to be the software, user experience, and, of course, their AI. Let’s get into.

With so many devices in our pockets and everyday carry, each device has its own form of charging or wattage capacity, it is now more important than ever to make sure you have the correct charger for each device. For instance, my iPhone charges at 15W via Qi2 but can charge at up to 40W when wired in, so what is the best solution? I’m here to help you pick the best charger no matter your price point.

CES 2025 was a whirlwind of a time. It is the only convention in the world where you can see the future of the toothbrush industry right next to a booth all about robot vacuums with robotic arms coming out of them. Everyone brand now has some sort of AI assistant or smartglasses or health wearable or 1000W GaN charger that can charge 18 different laptops at full speed (A bit of an exaggeration). However, through all that noise, a few products and brands stood out to me regarding Apple-related products and accessories. Here are 5 of the best products I saw at CES.

Waterfield Designs, one of my favorite leather goods and bespoke accessories companies, has just released its Shield Case for the M4 Mac Mini. I wrote an article last month about how I turned my Mac Mini into a portable computer, and although I could do that successfully, this new Mac Mini case takes it to a whole new level. This case was made purely for the M4 Mac Mini with protection and accessories in mind. Here is everything you need to know.

For anyone who grew up with a Gameboy Color in hand and a love for Pokémon, the Gamebaby case brings all that nostalgia right to your iPhone.

Let’s dive into how this works and why it’s a must-have for retro gamers.

I’ve been seeing people give their Mac Minis a serious style upgrade by housing them in enclosures that make them look like mini Mac Pros—and I had to try it out for myself. Enter the Zeera MacForge Gen2, a CNC aluminum case that turns your Mac Mini M4 into a desktop workstation that looks like a shrunken version of Apple’s iconic Mac Pro. And let me tell you, I love the look.

As someone who’s been using Satechi products for years, I’ve always admired their sleek designs and focus on functionality.

From power banks with built-in stands to versatile wireless chargers, Satechi continues to deliver practical, beautifully crafted tech accessories.

Apple products are known for their design, premium quality, and seamless ecosystem. However, when it comes to accessories, Apple’s offerings often come with hefty price tags.

Fortunately, there are budget-friendly alternatives that provide incredible value for a fraction of the cost. Below are some of the best iPad accessories under $100.

We’ve all heard the term the Walled Garden when talking about the Apple ecosystem. Apple’s biggest competitive advantage is the fact that they control everything from both a hardware and software perspective, allowing its customers to experience these little features I like to call Magic Moments. These are smaller utilities or features that are only possible because you have multiple Apple products that work off of each other giving us these wow moments. So here are some of my favorite Magic moments of the Apple Walled Garden.

And now, LumaTouch, the makers of LumaFusion, have unveiled some exciting updates that make this app even more compelling for storytellers of all levels.

People have been loving the all-new M4 Mac mini since it was released last month. The combination of power, price, and new smaller form factor has people drooling over what is possible. But for me, the best part was the new size. This had me thinking, can I use this as a mobile desktop solution? The answer is yes, as long as you have the necessary accessories!

Every year, there seems to be an infinite number of cases available for your iPhone. There are thin cases, bulky cases, cases made of leather, others made of pure metal, cases with stands, and cases with a camera control cover; if you can think of it, there is a case for you. All this variability makes it tough to crown just one case as the ‘best’ case because it is so subjective. So, I wanted to create a few categories of cases and pick my favorite of each category. Here are my six favorite iPhone cases of 2024, with my personal favorite one first!
