The iPhone is great, there’s no doubt about it. We use it for just about everything, but there are a few things that it’s just not quite optimized for. One of those things is making extra-long phone calls. If you take work calls on your iPhone you’ve probably realized that it’s not the most comfortable to hold your iPhone up to your ear for an hour-long meeting. It may seem less than current, but having a physical handset for your iPhone can come in handy. The Invoxia NVX 610 iPhone Telephone ($500) gives your smartphone a handset with plenty of bells and whistles for the expensive price tag.

The handset functions fully as a phone in combination with the dedicated Invoxia iOS app so that you can dial from you iPhone and receive calls directly from the physical handset. The NVX 610 also functions as a charging dock and speaker system, which is a good thing considering the price. It will also ensure that your iPhone doesn’t run out of juice in the middle of that important call.It will also synchronize your business and personal contact lists. Did we mention that it’s really beautiful? The handset has a high-end slick design and even features playful colored magnetic holders for the phone.

Dyson’s new AR mobile app shows where you forgot to clean

Dyson has always been on the cutting edge of vacuum technology, with heaps of premium vacuums filling the pages of its product catalog. Now, the company seems to be branching out to the world of augmented reality, with the reveal of Dyson CleanTrace -- a new feature on the MyDyson mobile app that shows you all the spots in your home that are yet to be cleaned.

Using Dyson CleanTrace is simple, though it comes with pretty strict limitations. For one, it only works with the expensive Dyson Gen5detect cordless vacuum. It also requires a smartphone with a lidar scanner (like an iPhone 15) and a special clamp to attach your phone to the vacuum (which is yet to receive a price tag). With all that out of the way, you'll then be able to launch the MyDyson app and access the CleanTrace feature for free when it arrives in June.
