Not all of KitchenAid’s mixer upgrades focus on functionality. Like the walnut stand mixer that launched in 2024, KitchenAid’s new $699.99 Design Series Luminaire Stand Mixer prioritizes aesthetics with a new blue peppercorn colorway and a fluted glass bowl illuminated from below that casts glowing patterns on kitchen workspaces.

The Hori Arcade Classic Pro, now available for preorder in Japan for around $260, features a pair of modular slots where you can install a standard 8-way joystick, a paddle, a trackball, or a rotating loop lever stick. It’s compatible with PC and the Switch 2 and could be a great solution for playing a wide variety of classic arcade titles.

First announced during the Fairphone 6 Plus launch last month we finally have more pics of the Fairbuds 2 that will launch later this year thanks to leaks shared by NieuweMobiel. Pricing and the level of repairability still isn’t known, but the redesigned Fairbuds 2 appear to have a stubby stem and a larger charging case.

In addition to a “Delta Duo” teaser recently shared on Threads, lead developer Riley Testut told Retro Dodo that “the plan is to have dedicated support for the Duo in Delta” and the work they did “making sure that Delta worked with resizing and multi-window support back when Stage Manager first debuted for iPadOS”is already proving beneficial for the upcoming Duo support.

To ensure content isn’t obscured and all swipe gestures still work while using a protective case, the iPhone Duo includes a new “Shift Left Edge” setting spotted by Nicolas Lellouche after Apple’s event last week. Turning it on increases the narrow black border on the left edge of the Duo’s front screen.

Less than a year after its original Nano Charger launched, Anker is introducing an updated and slightly more expensive $34.99 version that adds support for USB PD 3.2’s adjustable voltage supply (AVS) to more precisely manage power delivery and reduce battery degradation. The new Nano Charger is also available in new colors to match the iPhone 18 Pro.

Xteink has shared an update on Reddit following backlash to its new X4 Classic e-reader that uses a proprietary magnetic pogo pin charging cable. While the company isn’t planning to abandon the pogo approach any time soon, it’s also “working toward bringing USB-C back as an option in future products.”

You’ll now have to be more careful when choosing a battery for your iPhone. BMX’s new SolidSafe Duo is one of the first that’s sized to fit Apple’s wider iPhone Duo. At $79.99 the SolidSafe Duo is expensive for a 5,000mAh battery even with wireless charging capabilities, but it uses safer semi-solid-state cell tech, and you get a big status screen.

The iOS 27 Release Candidate became available yesterday and includes new code that seems to indicate you’ll soon be able to redeem physical Apple gift cards by tapping them on the back of your iPhone, according to MacRumors. An added security chip, presumably NFC, will also help reduce scams by making it easier to tell if a card has been cancelled or already spent.
