Be sure to leave links to your favorite accessories in the comments!

Nomad just launched an accessory I have never seen before

In today’s Apple accessory landscape, it seems to be getting harder and harder to make a product that has not been made before.

But all that competition ends up being great for the consumer because it forces brands to think outside of the box. That is exactly what Nomad did with their new Universal Cable for Apple Watch. Again, I have never seen a cable look like this or do what it does.

Hands-on: Flexbar brings back the Touch Bar to your Mac – but is it worth it?

We recently reported on Flexbar, a project developed by ENIAC Technology that brings back the Touch Bar – the controversial (and now discontinued) small touch screen implemented by Apple on the MacBook Pro keyboard.

Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro with DockKit

Apple is reportedly developing a new smart home product, a “pricey tabletop home device that combines an iPad-like display with a robotic limb.” The display would use robotics to swivel around and follow your movement.
