Yaku Zeg, aka Jakub Zegzulka, has a feature that could change how we use our iPhones. His idea is the Lock Screen Mirror. It solves a common problem: the time consuming process of checking yourself out with the front camera. That currently involves unlocking the iPhone, launching the camera app, and switching to the front-facing camera, a seemingly excessive number of steps for such a simple task. Zegzulka’s solution is straightforward: a long press on the camera icon on the lock screen displays a mirror-like view from the front camera, allowing you to quickly check your hair, teeth, or overall appearance without having to browse through multiple screens.

Luke Maximo Bell and his father Mike spent months in a makeshift workshop building a drone that would rewrite the rules of airspeed. On June 22, 2025, the Peregreen 3 crossed the 360.4 mph barrier in Dubai’s Al Qudra desert, setting a new Guinness World Record for the fastest battery-powered remote controlled quadcopter. Outpacing the previous year’s milestone of 347 established by a Swiss team, it was a hard-fought victory that required seven crashes and a run of devastating setbacks to secure.

Amazon is known for sneaking everyday essentials into its lineup that end up exceeding expectations, and their Basics range of over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation is a prime example.

That jumps to 35 hours if you don’t bother with the cancellation.

Ryan Gosling floats through space as stars flash past like lightning bugs on a hot summer night.

In the massive hallways of the Louvre Museum, a small device hangs from necks of visitors like a lost relic. This is a limited edition Nintendo 3DS XL that has been redesigned exclusively to guide visitors through centuries of art and history using spoken words as well as illuminating graphics. Nintendo made only 5,000 of these handhelds, and donated them to the museum in 2020.

Scotty Allen of Strange Parts traveled through the gates of OPPO’s huge factory outside Shenzhen, China, where flagship phones like the Find X9 Pro are produced. For someone who had spent years building electronics from market booths in Huaqiangbei, this felt like the end of a long process.
