YIVTOL S-Zero Plus Brings Single-Seat Electric Vertical Flight Within Reach of Private Owners

By Bill Smith October 28, 2026

Early buyers in the United States and Europe have already begun taking delivery of the YIVTOL S-Zero Plus, a single-seat electric multicopter that lifts off vertically from a backyard or open field without needing a runway or a pilot license in qualifying cases. Built by Shenzhen Yingwu Intelligent Technologies under the YIVTOL name, the aircraft hangs a compact carbon-fiber cockpit beneath a titanium-tube frame that supports eight independent electric rotors arranged in a four-axis coaxial layout. Arms fold inward so the whole machine can shrink enough to fit in a pickup bed or a standard garage bay, turning storage and transport into ordinary logistics rather than a specialized operation.

Existing iPhone Owners Discover the 11-Inch iPad A16 Beats the Folding Duo

By Bill Smith October 27, 2026

Anyone already carrying a capable iPhone faces a simple calculation when Apple’s first folding model arrives. The iPhone Duo opens to a 7.6-inch panel and starts at $1,999, while a basic 11-inch iPad with the A16 chip will set you back just $399 (was $449). That gap alone explains why many people with a working phone in their pocket simply add the tablet and skip the foldable.
