iFi Aurora is a futuristic AirPlay speaker blending wood and metal materials

iFi has been cranking out audio designs from France for a while now but its Aurora AirPlay-enabled speaker is just now finding its way stateside. After being announced last year, iFI is selling its latest creation at Amazon and other online retailers. This unique speaker departs from other AirPlay options on the market today with a sleek design and the promise of a high-end audio experience.

It leverages features like auto-configuration found in Sonos speakers to create a customized audio experience to fit your space. At $1,400, it’s more of an investment than similar speakers on the market today, but the design will more than make up for that for some consumers. Full details and availability can be found below.

Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim

Hands-on: Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim is this year’s best iPhone charger

The second-half of 2019 saw Anker release several compelling charging solutions for today’s modern devices. We recently went hands-on with the brand’s 100W PowerPort Atom PD 4, which is arguably the best charger on the market in 2020. However, today we’re looking at something a bit more travel-friendly. Anker’s PowerPort Atom III Slim wall charger arrives with an uber-portable design and 30W USB-C charging speeds.

While there are plenty of portable chargers that push this type of USB-C output on the market today, Anker has nailed a few key elements on the Atom III Slim. First and foremost is the low-profile design that’s comparable to a credit card in size. Head below for a few quick hands-on thoughts and more.
