Apple has been working for years to create their first foldable phone, a book-style device that is set to be released in mid-2026. New information has emerged about a smaller version on the way, a clamshell device that folds vertically, forms a square shape, and, if rumors are to be believed, may simply be dubbed the “iPhone Flip.”
The XPENG IRON humanoid robot made its first public appearance, but things didn’t go as planned. The sleek black machine tipped over during a presentation in a packed retail mall in Shenzhen. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the robot was a bit of a mess, and staff workers had to come and carry it away after it failed to stand up on its own.
Apple’s latest Chinese New Year short film, a ten-minute clip titled ‘Glad I Met You’, arrived right in time for the celebration, shot entirely on iPhone 17 Pro. Director Bai Xue and TBWA\Media Arts Lab Shanghai collaborated to combine live-action footage with Buck’s stunning stop-motion animation.
Portable input devices are all about compact keyboards and mice that allow you to type as well as navigate on the move with your laptop or tablet, but let’s be honest, an iPhone normally goes unnoticed in this conversation… until one incredibly creative modder, KoStard, threw a wrench in the works.
Genesis has introduced the X Skorpio Concept, a beast capable of charging across even the most harsh deserts with far more power than expected, as well as a generous dose of refinement. This off-road creation represents a daring new path for the company, combining a wealth of high-performance expertise with a level of luxury typically found exclusively on smooth roads.
In January, many people get off to a good start by setting goals for better health habits or just getting to their destinations on time. It all boils down to consistency rather than making a huge adjustment, which is where the Apple Watch Series 11, priced at $299 (was $399), comes in handy. It now stays on your wrist at all times and does not require you to fuss with it continually. By combining dependable tracking, subtle reminders, and a longer battery life, it makes making progress each day feel effortless rather than arduous.
Japanese Tuner Dynasty took a look at the Nissan Caravan, a boxy, no-nonsense van designed for hauling cargo, and thought, “Why not?” Let’s see if we can bring some of the iconic GT-R Nismo style to this basic family hauler. The end product is the Alive GT-V kit, which consists of a collection of bolt-on parts inspired by the classic R35 GT-R Nismo.
A DIY metal 3D printer powered by a laser welder brings industrial-grade additive manufacturing far closer to the garage than anyone imagined. Maker Cranktown City acquired a 2000-watt fibre laser welder from Skyfire and installed it on an outdated 3D printer frame salvaged from a defunct insole-printing business. The ultimate result is solid metal items produced layer by layer with welding wire as the “ink,” demonstrating that very strong lasers often found in factories can now be used on projects at home.
Westwood Robotics has just released their new and improved THEMIS Gen 2.5, a full-size humanoid robot that has made significant progress, literally, in terms of its ability to hold objects while in motion. Unlike your ordinary humanoid robot, this one continues to walk while performing the work at hand, rather than coming to a halt. Westwood is claiming it as the first commercially viable device to truly deliver on dependable manipulation on the move, and recent evidence shows that they aren’t just blowing smoke.
AYANEO has just launched pre-orders for a handheld gaming powerhouse that fits comfortably into a jacket pocket. The Pocket S Mini is only 6.6 inches long, 3.1 inches wide, and 0.73 inches deep, weighing a mere 10.8 ounces, but despite its size, it refuses to compromise.
