The Ferrari Luce, revealed last week in San Francisco, is a transplant of Apple's design language into automotive form. Everything about this interior, from the E-ink key fob to the OLED dials to the obsessive material purity, carries the unmistakable signature of Apple's design peak from 2015 to 2019, when Ive still occupied his Cupertino office and the car project remained alive.

I've had an 11-inch iPad Air M2 for almost two years now, and as ZDNET's deals and shopping editor, I'm always scouting for the best accessories worth investing in (and catching on sale). I've also had the chance to review plenty of gear, ranging from mobile and MagSafe accessories, iPad cases and gadgets, smart home and kitchen appliances, and more.

Leaving the house with just a phone and a slim MagSafe wallet is convenient until the jolt of realizing you have no idea where you left that combo. Most wallets and stands solve carry and comfort, but do nothing for the "where did I put it" problem. Moft's trackable stand-wallet is a small tweak to that daily stack, adding a Find My brain without bulking up the back of your phone.

The Classic LS marks a pivot from colorful transparency to utilitarian elegance. Celebrating Apple's 50th anniversary, this new case reaches back to the Macintosh 128k and Apple Lisa era, when computers came in beige enclosures and harbored revolutionary ambitions. The platinum-gray finish, ridged camera module, and rainbow logo placement all reference those iconic machines. Spigen has managed to honor the design legacy and vision Steve Jobs set in motion while keeping features like MagSafe and Camera Control Button functionality intact.

When I received the device, I was stunned at how small the box was. Then I pulled out the stand and realized why the box was so tiny. The Ku Xiu stand folds in such a way that it fits in the palm of your hand. It's also heavy, because it's made of metal. Additionally, the bottom of the stand features a non-slip surface, ensuring it stays in place without risk of accidental removal from your nightstand or desk.

Plaud, the company behind an AI wearable that actually works, is launching an upgraded version of its credit card-sized note-taking device. Just like its Plaud Note predecessor, the Plaud Note Pro uses AI to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, but it now comes with two additional microphones that allow it to pick up audio within a 16.4-foot area, along with a 1-inch display that shows battery level, recording status, and the current recording mode.

So, it's the same thing but under a different name, and yet Google had to leave out reverse wireless charging support from all Pixel 10 devices, since, the company says, it's incompatible with Qi2 wireless charging with magnets because (the following is machine translated from Portuguese) "the magnet set creates a strong connection with the charger but has a physical limitation for reverse wireless charging".

Apple's FineWoven cases have been a disaster in terms of reliability and so the company had to stop making them, but hasn't given up entirely - in fact, it's going to try again for the iPhone 17 family with the now rebranded TechWoven cases. The idea is the same - have a premium case lineup that doesn't involve leather. The TechWoven cases will be available in a variety of colors, as shown in the images below.

The K1 wireless power bank from Kuxiu is a versatile accessory for Apple users, offering simultaneous charging for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.
