Spigen celebrates Apple’s 50th anniversary with retro Mac-inspired MagSafe wallet and AirPods case

Spigen has built a strong reputation for making some high-quality Apple accessories that also scratch that nostalgic itch.

They then followed that up with the Classic LS iPhone case, which pulls inspiration from iconic Apple products like the original Macintosh 128K and the Apple Lisa. And now Spigen has doubled down on that design by releasing two new accessories for the Classic LS line: the Classic LS Wallet and the Classic LS AirPods Pro case. These will be the ultimate conversation starters. Here is what you need to know.

The Oppo Find N6 gives us a preview of the iPhone Fold, with a 600k fold life

The Oppo Find N6 (shown) gives us a preview of the iPhone Fold, with a 600k fold life

It’s taken Apple a long time to advance work on the iPhone Fold, and the reason for that was said to be that the company was unhappy with the visible crease in earlier iterations of the display technology.

Hello, Neo MacBook Neo blush

One of the biggest mysteries ahead of the MacBook Neo launch was the price. We’d seen various estimates in the $599 to $799 range, and while we’d certainly hoped for that lower-end figure, experienced Apple watchers weren’t necessarily expecting it.
