Hasta La Gadget!

Ever since Apple introduced USB-C to their MacBook laptops, they pretty much ditched the MagSafe chargers, much to the dismay of many a MacBook owner. However, it appears that the company could be looking to bring back the MagSafe branding, but unfortunately it might not be in the way many are hoping for.

According to a series of posts made on Weibo by user “Kang”, apparently Apple will be reusing the MagSafe branding for several iPhone related accessories. This is said to include an iPhone case that comes with a magnet built into the case itself, as well as a couple of new wireless chargers that will apparently be known as the MagSafe Charger and the MagSafe Duo Charger.

There have been rumors that Apple could revive their wireless charging mat, but it’s interesting that they might actually ditch the AirPower branding in favor of MagSafe. The use of magnets is doubly interesting as apparently it will be used to help align or snap the iPhones into place on the charger, similar to how the Apple Watch’s magnetic charger works.

In any case, it will be interesting to see if these rumors are true, and more importantly how Apple plans to market them and set them apart from the current wireless chargers in the market today. We will have all the details next week so check back with us on the 13th of October for more updates.

High-end speaker manufacturer Devialet is launching its first pair of earbuds called Devialet Gemini. The in-ear earbuds feature active noise canceling and cost £279 in the U.K. — they will be available in the coming weeks.

The Devialet Gemini are completely wireless, which means that there’s no cord between each earbud, like on Apple’s AirPods. The company has developed three new patents for the product.

They feature cascading decompression chambers, which means that they should stick in your ears and provide adequate pressure. In-ear earbuds require a good seal.

There are two microphones in each earbud for the active noise cancelation feature and a dedicated microphone for calls and other voice interactions. Like on the AirPods Pro, there are multiple ANC modes. You can remove background noise altogether or activate transparency modes so that you can hear what’s happening around you.

You can choose between three levels of ANC and two levels of transparency mode. The company is releasing a mobile app so that you can control those settings. There’s also a touch button at the rear of the earbuds that you can use to control music playback, noise cancelation or voice assistants.

The earbuds automatically adjusts the audio signal when the earbud moves. It uses a microphone to detect a change in frequency. The app can also tell you if you’re using the right tip for your ear.

The company promises 8 hours of battery life without ANC and 6 hours with ANC activated. The case provides 3.5 charges and works with wireless chargers using the Qi standard or a USB-C cable.
