Sure iPhone docks keep your Apple phone safe and charged, but if you’re really serious about protecting your iPhone , why not take it to the next level and protect yourself as well as your precious iPhone with the Armstar BodyGuard.

The armored Armstar BodyGuard offers a perfect, albeit somewhat scary — and no doubt costly mobile docking solution. Not only will the BodyGuard keep your phone scratch free and on your person during dangerous situations, it comes equipped with a built in stun gun, laser, and HD camera – perfect for tweeting while you pursue would-be-rioters. We imagine there’s nothing quite like robbing those of their civil liberties, updating your Facebook and Tweeting about it at the same time. On the flip side, defend against would be assailants in the same manner, just don’t break any laws please.

While there is no fixed priced attached to this Batman-like armguard/iPhone dock, if you’re truly interested in investing in an Armstar BodyGuard then head over to their site and request a quote.

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.

There’s a big problem with the iPhone’s Photos app

While my primary device these days continues to be my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve dabbled with plenty of Android phones since I’ve been here at Digital Trends. One of my favorite brands of phone has been the Google Pixel because of its strong suite of photo-editing tools and good camera hardware.

Google first added the Magic Eraser capability with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which is a tool I love using. Then, with the Pixel 8 series, Google added the Magic Editor, which uses generative AI to make edits that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There are also tools like Photo Unblur, which is great for old photographs and enhancing images that were captured with low-quality sensors.
