MagSafe Monday: The TUCCH Mag Wallet feels like a real wallet, not just a slot to stick cards in

My biggest issue when I go back and forth between a MagSafe wallet and a traditional wallet is that a lot of MagSafe wallets are really just card slots. I still carry cash and like my driver’s license to be in a clear window. The TUCCH PU Leather Mag Wallet does something different that most MagSafe wallets. It actually folds shut like a traditional fold wallet with a clear ID/driver’s license window.

Upgrade your wired CarPlay with wireless for under $50

Do wireless CarPlay adapters actually work? Many years ago, I bought a new car that came with wired Apple CarPlay. I really wanted wireless CarPlay, but replacing the whole entertainment system didn’t make sense. Fortunately, there are popular solutions for turning standard CarPlay into wireless CarPlay, and they work with iOS 27 and Apple’s latest iPhones.

Google’s new Pixel 11 offers an incredible camera feature that Apple should copy

Earlier this month, Google unveiled its new Pixel 11 lineup. The phones themselves were rather similar compared to the previous Pixel 10 lineup, though they offer a few delightful quality of life improvements. One of those is a new set of camera processing options – allowing you to have far more control over what your photo will look like.

On the cusp of the iPhone 18 Pro release, I’m hoping Apple offers something similar to this.
