Internal Mac storage upgrades are expensive, often causing users to resort to external media when possible. That also has its own problems of sometimes compromising on speed or reliability. HyperDrive Next aims to bridge that gap, by bringing incredible performance to external drives for your Mac.

It’s a big week for the Mac, with three new MacBooks available today. To celebrate, dbrand has just launched a new line of ‘1984’ skins to give your MacBook’s Apple logo a retro look.

Accessories maker ESR recently launched a new lineup of iPad accessories that aim to expand the usefulness of iPad for casual users. They are focusing on users who frequently switch between the many modes of iPad: typing, drawing or writing, and regular tablet usage, such as playing games or watching videos.

At CES 2026, Rolling Square introduced new versions of two unique Find My accessories they offer: AirCard Pro and AirNotch Pro. Both of these now support both Apple’s Find My and Android’s Find Hub networks, and they’re better than ever – while coming in at lower price points.

At CES 2026, Keychron introduced a new line of keyboards for Mac with its Q Ultra series. They all offer an 8K polling rate and a fantastic all metal build, and they come in three size variants: 75%, 80%, and full size. I’ll be going hands on with the Q1 Ultra.

At CES 2026, Satechi unveiled an all new lineup of ultra-slim keyboard and mice for Mac users. They come in Silver and Space Black, work wirelessly, charge with USB-C, and serve as surprisingly good value options. That all sounds great, but do they hold up?

Late last year, Satechi released a new 7-in-1 USB-C hub for iPhone. It takes advantage of MagSafe and feels right at home on Apple devices. I’ve had the joy of testing it out for the past few days, and I have to say, it’s certainly a cool option if you think it suits you.

At CES 2026, Anker unveiled a handful of new accessories for Apple users. One of them is this new 13-in-1 docking station, and it has an interesting new feature that’ll make it particularly useful for MacBook and iPad Pro users.

iPhone Air users, your MagSafe Battery pack has a new firmware update available now. Here are the details.

The first touch-enabled Mac is rumored to launch later this year, but a new third-party ‘Magic Screen’ accessory says it can bring touch to existing MacBook Air and MacBook Pro displays.

Twelve South is one of my favorite Apple accessory makers, and as CES 2026 kicks off this week, it has announced an addition to its product line: the Twelve South Valet.

The Valet is described as a “wireless charging station and personal essentials tray.” Think of it as a place to drop your phone, keys, wallet, and other essentials — and charge your phone at the same time.

Apple has just shipped new firmware for its recent MagSafe Battery accessory for iPhone Air. Here are the details.

Update: Apple has pulled the new firmware build. It is currently unknown when it might return.

This fall, Apple unveiled an unusually large collection of official iPhone accessories, but per a new leak, it seems that the company may have even bigger plans ahead—including iPhone cases with touch interfaces.

Baseus’ recently announced EnerGeek GX11 power bank is not only a great power bank, but it also doubles as a cellular hotspot.
