MagSafe Monday: The TUCCH Mag Wallet feels like a real wallet, not just a slot to stick cards in
My biggest issue when I go back and forth between a MagSafe wallet and a traditional wallet is that a lot of MagSafe wallets are really just card slots. I still carry cash and like my driver’s license to be in a clear window. The TUCCH PU Leather Mag Wallet does something different that most MagSafe wallets. It actually folds shut like a traditional fold wallet with a clear ID/driver’s license window.

This ingenious Anker charging strip is finally on sale at Amazon
Macworld Anker Nano Power Strip View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); We’ve had our eyes on Anker’s clever Nano Power Strip desk clamp for a while, and now that it’s on sale for $58 at Amazon ($12 off its usual $70 MSRP), it’s a great chance to buy one. It’s not just a solid discount—it’s also a clever little accessory that can tidy up your entire workspace. If your desk is buried under a pile of chargers, this thing will be super helpful to have. The clever bit is the dual-zone design. You get six outlets, two that come up on top of the desk while the others are hidden underneath. Then there are two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports easily accessible above your desk too. So instead of crawling under your desk to find an open outlet, you have power at your fingertips for your phone, monitor, lamps, or whatever else. It’s such a simple purchase that will make your desk feel less hectic. You’ll love charging your tech with this Anker power strip. One of the USB-C ports delivers up to 70W, which is enough to fast-charge most laptops, along with iPhones and iPads. The desk clamp is a genuinely smart touch, too, with a secure grip that attaches to the edge of your desk and holds steady so you can plug and unplug devices with one hand without the whole thing sliding around. One thing to keep in mind before buying this Anker power strip is that your desk needs to be no thinner than 0.6 inches and no thicker than 1.8 inches, and some curved or sloped edges might have an issue. For most desk setups, though, this is a smart, affordable option, especially when it’s only $58.

iPhone price rises ‘inevitable,’ but may not be as bad as you expect
Macworld The ongoing memory crunch hit Apple customers much later than most tech fans, but when the price hikes arrived, they hit hard. Apple increased prices across its iPad and Mac ranges by anywhere from $100 to an eye-watering $1,300 in the case of the M3 Ultra Mac Studio. There was only one consolation: iPhone prices didn’t increase at all. That latter state of affairs is not going to last for long, we’re sad to report. At the start of this month we covered a report by Mark Gurman in which the Bloomberg leaker insisted there is “absolutely no doubt” that iPhone price hikes are coming. And in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman reiterates that prediction and adds further context. Context matters, and in this case it offers some cause for hope. Yes, iPhones will shortly get more expensive. As Gurman puts it, “An increase [to iPhone prices] remains inevitable. The only question is how far Apple will go.” But clues from inside and outside the company suggest it may not go as far as pessimistic customers and pundits may have feared. For one thing, Apple’s behavior will, to some extent, be influenced by two of its biggest smartphone rivals, Google and Samsung. Both of these put up the prices of their latest phones by around $100. For Apple to announce a similar hike when it launches the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max–putting their starting prices at approximately $1,199 and $1,299, respectively–would therefore seem perfectly reasonable. The unpopular actions of Google and Samsung provide cover for Apple to do the same, in a reversal of the headphone jack debacle. So far, so convenient for Apple. But those price rises cut both way, because they also provide an anchor point for customer expectations. Putting up phones by $100 now seems reasonable. But to put them up by $200, say, is no longer an arbitrary number; it’s double what Google and Samsung did. Whatever Apple announces will be compared favorably or unfavorably to the actions of its rivals. Gurman doesn’t claim to know Apple’s plans, but he senses that it’s veering towards relatively conservative price hikes. In its latest quarterly financial disclosures, he points out, the company warned of pressure on gross margins. That may be a clue that it doesn’t intend to pass on all of the cost increases to customers, instead choosing to absorb some of the pain itself. The new iPhones will be announced next month. For all the latest news and rumors, bookmark our regularly updated iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra superguides.

Trump may use Apple Chinese RAM buy request as diplomatic tool
A report from a questionable leaker out of China makes the logical claim that the Trump Administration wants to use Apple's request to buy CXMT memory as a bargaining chip with the Chinese President in September. We're not sure there's anything real behind the rumor.CMXT is rapidly becoming a major player in memory - image credit: CXMTApple, like other tech companies around the world, has a memory cost problem that it's trying to solve. So far, that has resulted in Apple making the politically sensitive request to be allowed to buy memory from the currently-blacklisted Chinese producer CXMT.While Apple has received criticism over the matter for even suggesting the idea, it's supposedly made some traction with the Trump administration.
