Phonesoap 3 - The Best Way to Disinfect Your iPhone
Your iPhone goes everywhere with you, collecting germs that can survive for up to nine days and contaminating your hands and face every time you use it. The patented PhoneSoap 3 is the only medically proven electronics sanitizer on the market. Your phone charges while UV light destroys 99.99% of viruses and bacteria within ten minutes (5 for the Pro model!). The PhoneSoap also sanitizes other small items, like keys, jewelry, or your Apple watch.
October Apple Event: iPhones, AirTags, HomePod, A New Mac, Fitness+ & More
By Erin MacPherson
We all had a pretty solid understanding that the 2020 iPhone announcement would be delayed, but that didn’t make Apple’s distinct lack of iPhone news at its September 2020 event any easier to swallow. Still, iPhone users everywhere are thrilled to hear that Apple will be announcing its newest iPhone lineup—presumably the iPhone mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max—on October 13. What else might Apple announce at this event? Apple recently registered a new model number for a Mac, so we're hopeful for an Apple-Silicon version. AirTags have been in the works for long enough, and we're looking forward to learning more about when Fitness+ will be made available. Audiophiles will be excited to hear that there may be an AirPods Studio release, and that a more affordable HomePod could be on the docket as well. Let's take a look at the most likely reveals for the October 13 Apple event.

Review: Omnia 100W PD Fast Charger for MacBook & iPhone
By Todd Bernhard
You might not get excited by something as mundane as a USB-C A/C adapter, but in this case, you should. The future is USB-C, which gives you greater compatibility, faster charging, and a reversible plug. Apple has embraced USB-C for its MacBooks and the Pro version of its iPads. It's likely that future iPhones will join the party as well. But, you get a USB-C adapter with your MacBook so what's the big deal about the Omnia 100W PD Fast Charger ($54.99) that Aukey sent me to try?
Review: The BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool
By Todd Bernhard
I own several cars, and while I'm not a mechanic, I do like to be able to see what's going on with them. When I get the generic "Check Engine Light" I want to know if I really need to bring it in for service. I was excited to try the BlueDriver Pro Scan Tool ($99.95), and when I did, I realized it's a game changer.
