Apple’s first foldable phone, the Apple’s first foldable phone, iPhone Fold (if that’s how it will be called) is one of the most anticipated smartphones in recent memory. While Apple remains tight-lipped about anything concerning the awaited device, rumors, leaks, and concepts have flooded our memories over the years with what the iPhone Fold is and what it will be like.
2026 is suggestively the magical year when Apple is expected to launch the foldable iPhone. It has been an unperturbed timeline in almost all the reports we have seen. In the same loop – but without a timeline – a recognized Apple leaker, Majin Bu has shown “actual design of the iPhone Fold” in the latest leaked pictures.
It’s “more beautiful than the previous one,” Bu notes in his update on X, stating that he believes this is “the final design of the future iPhone Fold.” How much context there is in the claim, only time will tell, but Bu has had some correct Apple-related predictions in the past, which suggests he could have some substance to back his claim.
From the leaked pictures, one can visually notice that the camera bump on the back of the foldable device is significantly smaller than that seen in previously rumored designs. The images appear more than renders and supposedly of a prototype, showing the iPhone in a book-style foldable form factor. Appearing to open horizontally to reveal a tablet-like display on the inside.
If the 2026 timeline is to go by – it’s Apple’s golden jubilee year as well – the iPhone Fold should ship alongside the iPhone 18 Pro slated for release in fall this year. But according to a new report from Nikkei Asia, the launch could be delayed. Nikkei reports that Apple has encountered a major setback in the engineering test phase of the foldable iPhone. There have been previously report concerning the foldable display’s crease, but this time, the report notes that the Cupertino giant is facing “more complex engineering challenges than anticipated.” If the issues persist, they could, “in a worst-case scenario,” delay the iPhone Fold launch schedule by some months. It could even mean a postponement until 2027.
Earlier this year, it was rumored that Apple had entered into the manufacturing phase of its first foldable device at Foxconn. New revelations, however, suggest Apple is “notifying” its component suppliers about the possibility of a delay in the “component production schedule for the new foldable iPhone.”
Despite the reports and unauthorized leaks, one thing is definite now. Foldable iPhone – by whatever moniker it comes – is clearly on the horizon. Apple will soon have a competitor for the Samsung Fold and other foldable smartphones on the market. If it is anything like the iPhones that rocked the smartphone world in the late 2000s, the iPhone Fold could repeat that in the late 2020s.

Open-ear earbuds have had a genuine moment over the past year, and it’s easy to understand why. About half of all earbud users have moved toward them, drawn by ambient awareness, ear health, and the comfort of not having anything plugged into their ear canals. The category has grown quickly, and the question now is which designs actually get it right.
The Skullcandy Push 540 Open enters that picture with a clear sense of what’s been bothering people. Thick earhooks that compete with glasses, neckbands that catch on hair and collars, and touch controls that trigger every time headwear grazes the sensor aren’t fringe complaints; they’re consistent ones. Skullcandy took that feedback and built the 540 Open around fixing each of them.
Anyone who has worn open-ear hooks alongside glasses or a hat knows the small but mounting annoyance of too much hardware competing behind the ear. Skullcandy trimmed the earhook thickness based on direct user feedback, and the result is a fit that holds without adding friction to whatever you’re already wearing. It’s the kind of detail you only notice once you stop thinking about it.
The neckband gets the same thoughtful treatment. Unlike rigid or snapping designs found on competing options, Skullcandy’s version drapes naturally, so it won’t fight longer hair or push against a jacket collar. When you pull it off mid-run and don’t have the case on you, the magnetic closure lets it wrap cleanly around your wrist or neck without turning into a tangled nuisance.
Think about what it’s actually like to be deep into a trail run, layered up in a gaiter and hat, headphones that have stayed put the whole time, traffic audible from a distance. That’s the version of open-ear audio the 540 Open is built for. The over-ear hanger keeps things locked in, and the open design keeps the world around you audible.
Battery life is where the 540 Open puts some distance between itself and the competition. At 10 hours per earbud with 32 more in the case, it totals 42 hours, compared to six per earbud for both the Shokz Open Fit Air and JBL Soundgear Sense. The IP44 rating and a 10-minute rapid charge round it out for full days outdoors.
For anyone who trains with a hat on, the ability to disable the touch sensors entirely is a quietly significant option. Most open-ear earbuds don’t offer it. Audio comes from 12mm dynamic drivers, and Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint pairing means two devices can stay connected at once, so moving between a phone and a laptop mid-workout doesn’t require any extra steps.
At $99.99, it’s $20 less than the Shokz Open Fit Air and $60 less than the JBL Soundgear Sense. What’s more interesting than the price gap is that it doesn’t get there by skimping. Better battery life, a flexible neckband that cooperates with real-world dressing, and comfort details from user feedback aren’t the kind of things that make headlines, but they’re what make the difference on a long day outdoors.
This 12-sided clock turns global timekeeping into a calmer desk ritual
Keeping up with different time zones sounds simple until it becomes part of your everyday routine. You check your phone before a call, open another tab to confirm the hour, do a quick mental calculation, and still second-guess whether it’s too early in Tokyo or too late in New York. Not to forget the perils of push-notifications – a quick check of time leads you down a drain of doom-scrolling that you take an hour to return from! To add a layer of analog convenience in this increasingly digital setup, I present the Rolling World Clock.
Why Traditional World Clocks Never Quite Feel Right
The Rolling World Clock takes a familiar category and gives it a much smarter form. Instead of relying on screens, menus, or a row of tiny city labels, this analog desk object turns world time into a simple physical interaction. Built with 12 sides, each representing a major timezone city, it lets you roll from one location to another and instantly read the local time with a single hand. It’s a cleaner, more tactile answer to a problem that has long been solved in ways that feel unnecessarily digital.
That analog quality is a big part of the appeal. There’s a growing interest in devices that help people step back from constant digital interaction, and this clock fits neatly into that trend without feeling nostalgic for nostalgia’s sake. It still solves a modern problem, especially for people working with global teams or keeping in touch with friends and family abroad, but it does so in a way that feels grounded and human. You’re not swiping, tapping, or toggling between screens. You’re just rolling the object in your hand and reading the time.
Built for modern routines, expressed through simple interactions.
The city lineup also makes it genuinely useful. The 12 sides cover major global time zones, including London, Paris, Cape Town, Moscow, Los Angeles, Karachi, Mexico City, New York, Shanghai, Tokyo, Sydney, and New Caledonia. That gives it enough range to be practical for a wide variety of work and lifestyle needs, whether you’re coordinating meetings, planning travel, or just trying not to message someone at the wrong hour.
Built for a More Intentional Desk
For the desk setup fanatics, there’s also a strong aesthetic argument here. The Rolling World Clock is available in black and white, two finishes that make it easy to integrate into a modern desk setup without fighting for attention. It has the kind of understated presence that works especially well for young professionals who want their workspace to feel differentiated without becoming visually noisy. It’s functional, yes, but it also reads as a design object, the sort of piece that quietly signals taste.
Clean lines, one hand, no distractions.
That balance of utility and personality is what makes this more than a novelty. If you work across cities, collaborate with clients in different regions, or simply like the idea of keeping global time visible without adding another glowing screen to your day, this clock makes a strong case for itself. It taps into a broader shift toward analog tools that feel slower, more deliberate, and more human, while still solving a very modern problem.
Feels as good in the hand as it looks on the desk.
Why It’s Worth Picking Up Now
At $49, the Rolling World Clock lands in a sweet spot for a desk upgrade that feels distinctive without being overcommitted. It also has the kind of giftable appeal that comes from being both useful and conversation-worthy. And with only a few left, it carries just enough urgency to make hesitation a risky move.
If your desk could use an object that feels smarter, calmer, and more intentional than another digital widget, the Rolling World Clock is worth grabbing now. It’s currently available in the Yanko Design Shop in black and white, and with limited stock remaining, this is one of those rare functional design pieces you probably shouldn’t wait on.
Wireless charging was supposed to simplify things. Instead, most Apple users end up with a tangle of pads and cables on the nightstand, one for the iPhone, another for the Apple Watch, and a separate spot for the AirPods. The technology meant to reduce friction has become its own kind of mess, especially for anyone who’s ever scrambled for a Watch charger before a morning flight.
Satechi’s 3-in-1 Foldable Wireless Charging Stand with Qi2 25W takes aim at that problem. The San Diego brand has updated its best-selling foldable charger with a meaningful upgrade, bumping wireless power delivery for compatible iPhones to 25W, a notable jump from the 15W ceiling most MagSafe-compatible pads have been stuck at. It’s built as a proper desktop stand, not just something you tolerate next to the lamp.
Set the phone down on the magnetic charging surface, and Qi2’s built-in alignment snaps it into position so you don’t lose power from an off-center placement. The Apple Watch sits at a comfortable angle on its dedicated fast-charge module, while the AirPods rest on their own pad below. All three charge simultaneously from a single cable going to the wall, with nothing to juggle.
Apple Watch fast charging requires MFi certification, and Satechi has that covered. The stand supports Series 7 and newer, including Ultra and SE models. Advanced safety protections manage heat and prevent power loss when all three pads are active at once. The magnetic surface on the phone pad also ensures it stays correctly positioned even if you accidentally nudge it during the night.
Then there’s the folding design, which is where the stand earns its keep as a travel companion. It collapses into a flat form that fits easily in a carry-on without much bulk, then unfolds into the same stable stand you’re used to at home. There’s no need to rethink your charging setup just because you’ve checked into a different room across town or across the world.
Satechi also includes a 45W USB-C power adapter in the box, which sounds like a minor detail until you’re unpacking in a foreign hotel room. The adapter ships with US, EU, and UK plug attachments, meaning it works across different countries without needing a separate travel adapter. That’s a small but thoughtful decision for anyone whose travels take them to multiple regions throughout the year.
Available now on Satechi.com and Amazon, the stand retails for $129.99 in Space Black. It’s a higher investment than a single-device pad, but consolidating three separate chargers into one that travels as well as it sits on a desk makes that gap easier to justify. For Apple ecosystem users tired of the cable pile next to the bed, this stand offers a much cleaner end to every day.
Budget smartphones have always played the same game of compromises. You get 5G connectivity but lose camera quality, or you get a fast screen but sacrifice battery life. As affordable phones adopt faster network speeds, keeping up with 5G’s energy demands has become one of the biggest challenges for manufacturers trying to keep costs down without leaving users hunting for an outlet before noon.
Realme’s answer to that is the C100 5G, a phone that doesn’t shy away from its budget origins but tries to get the fundamentals right. Built around the energy demands of a full-time 5G device, it leads with a 7,000mAh battery, backed by 45W SuperVOOC fast charging, a capable processor, and a 6.8-inch display that refreshes faster than most phones twice its price.
Designer: realme
Imagine the kind of day that drains most smartphones by mid-afternoon. You’re streaming music during your commute, navigating with GPS through unfamiliar streets, and then spending the evening on video calls or catching up on a show. Realme claims the C100 5G can handle nearly 20 hours of continuous video playback and over 18 hours of GPS navigation before needing a recharge.
When you do eventually need to plug in, the 45W fast charging takes care of the battery fairly quickly. There’s also 6.5W reverse wired charging built in, meaning the phone can act as a power bank for other devices when you’re away from an outlet. It also supports bypass charging, which helps reduce battery strain during extended gaming or heavy usage sessions.
Under the hood is MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300, a 6nm chip that handles 5G connectivity and everyday multitasking without much fuss. The display runs at up to 144Hz, which is genuinely rare at this price point, making scrolling and casual gaming feel noticeably smoother. It peaks at 900 nits of brightness and covers 83% of the NTSC color gamut, holding up decently outdoors.
The rear camera centers on a 50MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and autofocus, capable of solid daylight photography, while the 5MP front camera handles selfies and video calls without complaint. The phone comes in two colors, Blooming Purple with a floral-patterned back and Sprouting Green, both with a matte frame and a squared-off silhouette measuring about 8.88mm thick.
Durability is also factored in, with an IP64 rating for dust and water splash resistance and a claim of 360-degree drop protection with military-grade certification. Running Realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16, the phone also supports external memory cards for additional storage. In Thailand, pricing starts at THB 6,999 (around $215) for 4GB/128GB and THB 7,499 (around $230) for 6GB/128GB.
For a budget phone, the C100 5G makes an interesting case by not competing on camera specs or premium materials, but on the one thing most users are tired of compromising on. Not everyone needs the sharpest sensor or the fastest chipset, but nearly everyone has panicked at a single-digit battery percentage at some point, and Realme clearly knows exactly who it’s building this for.

Minimalism in product design has gotten boring. We’re swimming in smooth white rectangles, touch controls that offer zero feedback, and devices designed to vanish. Apple spent two decades training the industry to sand away every visible seam, and now we live in a world where a Bluetooth speaker looks like a cylinder because a cylinder offends nobody. Bang & Olufsen understood early that audio equipment could occupy space like sculpture, could earn its place in a room through presence instead of absence. Teenage Engineering proved that mechanical honesty and playful geometry could coexist with premium materials. Both approaches work because they have a point of view.
TRETTITRE’s TTT series combines those instincts into something harder to categorize. The TTT-LP3 wireless vinyl player uses CNC-machined aluminum for the main frame and features a diffused lighting panel that spreads light evenly across the surface when music plays. The TTT-DP3 Bluetooth CD player takes inspiration from a UFO-like form with a transparent magnetic cover that rotates open to reveal the spinning disc. The TTT-CP3 cassette player uses a metal housing with sharp geometric lines and mechanical transport keys that deliver clear physical response. All three mount on the TTT-W magnetic modular wall rack, turning physical media playback into a visible, functional part of interior design.
TTT-LP3: A Vinyl Player That Doubles as Ambient Light
The back of the LP3 includes a hidden mounting structure that allows it to hang directly on a wall. You can mount it vertically so the record becomes part of the visual display, or go for the classic horizontal layout. When you want to move it, you lift the silicone leather handle at the top and take it down. The player detaches easily and gives you the freedom to listen wherever you choose. Traditional turntables usually stay exactly where you put them, limiting your options for when and where you listen. The LP3 works a little differently because of the battery and the wall mount’s wireless charging system, which keeps it powered without a visible cable.
Behind the LP3 sits a diffused lighting panel that spreads light evenly across the surface of the unit. When it’s on, the entire body of the player glows softly, designed to feel closer to ambient lighting than decorative lighting. You can change the lighting effects with the touch of a button. When a record spins, the moving shadows create a quiet visual effect. You can also leave the player mounted on the wall as a soft light source even when no music is playing. That ambient quality pushes the LP3 from well-designed product into something more considered: a slow, breathing light fixture that happens to play records.
The LP3 uses a self-balancing tonearm system that automatically sets the correct pressure when the player powers on. You place the record on the platter and lower the needle, and the system handles the rest. Many turntables require careful calibration before they can be used properly, with tonearm balance, tracking pressure, and counterweight adjustment all part of the process. For experienced collectors that process can be enjoyable, but for beginners it often feels complicated. The LP3 removes that barrier entirely while preserving the tactile experience people enjoy. The player supports both 33 RPM and 45 RPM records, and includes a manual control dial that allows small adjustments to playback speed (roughly ±0.5%), useful for older records that may not spin perfectly at their original speed anymore.
Wireless audio is handled through Qualcomm Bluetooth v5.3 with SBC, aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive, which allows higher-quality and lower-latency wireless audio than basic Bluetooth streaming. For wired setups, the player also includes a 3.5mm audio output. The built-in battery provides up to 6 hours of vinyl playback or up to 3 hours when used purely as an ambient light source. Full specs: dimensions 342×233×87mm, weight 1430g, Audio-Technica AT3600L moving magnet stereo cartridge, CNC-machined aluminum frame with silicone leather carrying strap. The LP3 arrives in June 2026 for Early Bird backers, May 2026 for Fast Delivery backers.
TTT-DP3: Giving the Compact Disc Its Aura Back
The DP3 keeps the reliability of CDs but gives the player a different visual presence. The design takes inspiration from a UFO-like form with a transparent magnetic cover. When the cover rotates open, the disc is partially visible as it spins, turning something simple into a small visual moment. A CD player shaped like a flying saucer with a rotating transparent lid is an audacious idea, and it works because it doesn’t try to evoke nostalgia. It reframes a CD player as a mechanical object of curiosity, something you watch as much as use.
The control buttons include raised tactile dots combined with a gold-embossed finish, making it easy to identify the buttons by touch alone. You can pause or skip tracks without needing to look down at the player. A small OLED display on the player shows track numbers, playback status, and battery level. The interface is intentionally simple so the information you need is visible immediately. A built-in battery allows the DP3 to run for several hours on its own, so you can move it from room to room, bring it to a small gathering, or take it while traveling. Full specs: Ø170×27mm, 324g, supports CD-DA and HDCD formats, Bluetooth 5.4, SNR >70dB, THD <3%, ABS+PC+Metal construction. The DP3 ships in May 2026.
TTT-CP3: Cassette Hardware for Modern Audio Setups
The CP3 keeps the tactile mechanical elements people associate with tapes while updating the electronics inside. The player uses a metal housing with sharp geometric lines that give it a distinctly industrial appearance. Instead of trying to imitate retro plastic designs, the CP3 leans into a more modern interpretation of cassette hardware. The playback controls use independent mechanical keys similar to piano keys. Each press has a clear physical response. Play, rewind, and stop feel deliberate instead of soft or mushy.
Inside the CP3 sits a Bluetooth module that allows cassette audio to stream wirelessly to speakers or headphones. The player decodes analog audio signals with high precision, helping reduce background noise and preserve more detail from the original recording. The result still sounds like cassette tape, but with greater clarity. Full specs: 122×120×32mm, 360g, supports Type I-IV cassette cartridges, Bluetooth 5.4, SNR ≥55dB, THD <3.5%, Metal+PC+ABS construction. The CP3 ships in May 2026.
When Storage Becomes Part of the Spectacle
The TTT-W Magnetic Modular Wall Rack uses an all-metal geometric structure that allows multiple TTT players to be arranged into a clean wall display while keeping them organized and ready to use. The rack integrates magnetic alignment and wireless charging for the vinyl player, so the LP3 can stay powered without visible cables while being part of the room’s design. Two configurations are available: a T-shaped rack (263×196×27mm, 300g) and a magnetic modular wall rack (612×302×27mm, 775g, combined style T+3). Both support wireless charging at 5-10W and use USB-C 5V 2A input.
The Supporting Cast, from Sculptural Speakers to Planar IEMs
TRETTITRE offers a range of add-ons designed to complement the TTT system. The TreSound1 Speaker arrives in concrete and wooden editions, delivering 2×30W + 1×60W output power with a 1″ tweeter, 2.75″ mid-range, and 5.25″ subwoofer for 30Hz-25KHz frequency response. The conical speaker features 360° surround sound, Bluetooth 5.2 with Qualcomm aptX HD, and a sculptural form that occupies space like a piece of furniture. The TreSound Mini is a portable Bluetooth speaker with a 5200mAh battery, 30W RMS output, and 360° surround sound. The TTT-E3 in-ear headphones use a 13mm planar magnetic driver with a 4-strand silver-copper hybrid conductor, available in 3.5mm and 4.4mm configurations. An aluminum alloy side table (300×300×750mm, 1.75kg, max load 50kg) rounds out the ecosystem.
