iPhone 8 and X users (or owners of any smartphone with wireless charging capability) get a more adorable charging accessory option-- a wireless charger modeled after Pikachu, the yellow Pokemon with appropriate electric powers.
Made by TeknFun, the Pikachu charger uses Qi induction technology, making it compatible with the latest Apple and Samsung Galaxy smartphones, among others. A trio of USB ports allow it to charge other devices, and Pikachu's cheeks glow red while charging is taking place.
Disney chooses accessory maker HEX to reveal official Star Wars cases for the iPhone, ahead of the 15 December premiere of the latest film in the series, The Last Jedi.
The cases fit the most recent iPhone models, namely the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X. They are made from genuine leather, and come in a number of styles, such as snap-on cases, folio wallets and zipper wallets with slots for cards and cash.
Camera software developer DxO announces an Android-compatible version of the One, a detachable camera accessory customers plug into their smartphones via USB-C port.
First released back in June 2015, the original DxO One was iPhone-only, since it made use of the Lightning connector. The Android version should remain essentially identical. It features a 1-inch 20MP sensor (similar to the one found in the Sony RX100) paired with a f/1.8 maximum aperture lens and small mono OLED display, and can snap photos when used as a standalone device or paired with a smartphone and companion app.
Western Digital presents industrial- and automotive-grade memory cards-- the SanDisk Industrial and SanDisk Automotive, aimed at specialised applications.
Aimed at industrial scenarios such as surveillance cameras, drones, factory automation and networking equipment, the Industrial and Automotive SD and microSD cards withstand temperatures ranging from -40- to 85-degrees Celsius. They also offer fast sequential read and write speeds of 50/80MB/s to handle high bit-rate video streaming applications.
The Belkin 3.5mm Audio + Charge RockStar is a fairly self-explanatory accessory-- it is means to add a headphone jack to Lightning-only devices, while providing a source of data or power.
The MFi-certified product is compatible with any 3.5mm audio source, and handles remote and mic control via headphones. It also supports 12W passthrough charging, meaning the iPhone juices up at maximum speeds. As such it is ideal for use with the latest iPhones lacking a 3.5mm headphone jack, namely the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and upcoming iPhone X.
