Lockin just made a massive splash at CES 2026 with the debut of the V7 Max, a smart lock that looks more like a piece of high-end consumer tech than a piece of door hardware.

At CES 2026, Govee argues that the next phase of smart lighting is less about automation and more about adaptation – lighting that responds not just to instructions, but also to how people live. Under the theme “Lighting the Future”, Govee’s CES showcase positions lighting as a core part of everyday living. More than something that simply fades into the background, light becomes a subtle form of self-expression – shaping mood, focus…
Apple is reportedly eyeing a major hardware shift in 2027. The company is heavily rumored to launch a low-cost MacBook powered by a smartphone chip, alongside its first foldable iPhone. We might also see a different launch cycle for the mainline iPhones, one that splits the typical Fall release cadence. While those are exciting developments worth keeping an eye on, Apple will be more interested in making a different turnaround focused on software. And in particular, with AI efforts on its mobile devices. That driver of those changes will likely be iOS 27. So far, reports have predicted a Siri…
