The iPhone Duo Isn’t the Smart-Home Hub We’re Yearning For

The iPhone Duo Isn’t the Smart-Home Hub We’re Yearning For

Apple used its event to push AI and the iPhone Duo as a 'personal hub' but did not introduce a dedicated smart display, despite widespread rumors. The author argues a true home display—wall-mounted or pivoting with Siri—was expected, but the $1,999 Duo isn’t a substitute and lacks multi-tasking display and room-filling speakers. Siri AI readiness, strong competition from Echo Show and Nest Hub, and price pressures likely explain the delay. Apple may wait to gauge Duo’s performance before a smart-display launch, or reserve a reveal for a later product, keeping expectations for a future Apple display with features like FaceTime and easy handoffs.

Anker’s tiny 45W Nano charger gets a color screen and folding prongs

Anker’s updated 45W Nano charger adds a full-color display that shows the device name, wattage, and battery level, plus redesigned 180-degree folding prongs and a three‑stage charging system. The screen is occasionally useful but largely feels gimmicky; the prongs and care/auto charging modes are the more practical upgrades. It targets Apple devices for the display, is priced at $39.99 (last year’s model was $34.99) and is often on sale around $29.98.

How to Stop Obnoxious Ads on Your Amazon Echo Show

Recent updates to the Amazon Echo Show have led to an increase in intrusive full-screen ads, making the device less usable and prompting some users to consider returning it.

Despite these workarounds, the pervasive advertising raises concerns about user experience and privacy.
