Don’t want to plug your phone in? Just stick a Moos sticker on it instead

You can now pay with an iPhone sticker, so why not charge your phone with one too? If Moos ever makes it to market, you’ll be able to do just that, wirelessly charging your smartphone with a stylish sticker that looks more like a decorative backing than a juice pack. Heralded as the world’s “thinnest wireless charging sticker,” Moos is a removable adhesive containing QI wireless charging chips, which gives it the ability to recharge your phone without requiring a cable. Easily removable and available in a variety of patterns, Moos may be what’s been missing from your fast-paced life.

To be fair, Moos isn’t totally an all-in-one charger. You’ll still have to place your iPhone onto a QI charging dock, though the team promises that the sticker “works with QI wireless technology … even the latest Ikea wireless charging series.”

Currently, the team has three designs in play, but if they surpass its initial Indiegogo goal of $20,000, they hope to bring more options into play.

While Moos notes that there are a number of wireless charging cases already available, the vast majority of those in the market tend to be bulky cases, adding extra weight and girth to your otherwise sleek and slim iPhone. This sticker, however, is unique in its incognito design. Effectively unnoticeable, Moos will charge your phone while keeping it aesthetically pleasing.

Currently, the Hong Kong based team is offering an Early Bird Moos Charging Set special for $29, which will include both a sticker and an eco-friendly cardboard charger (ostensibly a QI charging dock). Or if you already have one of these charging docks on hand, you can get the Moos sticker on its own for $15. The wireless charger is expected to retail for $25, so getting in early seems like quite the deal.

I don’t charge my phone at night because OnePlus broke me (and it’s awesome)

Here's a fun fact for you. I have absolutely zero idea as to what charge level my phone is at right now. It's on; I can tell you that. But what battery percentage is it at? I couldn't tell you. I couldn't care less and that's because I don't have to. At first, it was scary, but now it's just beautiful.

Here in the U.S., we don't really have to worry about charging phones; we charge them overnight. Maybe we set our phone down on one of the best wireless phone chargers, or we snap on a MagSafe charger (even on Android), or we simply plug the phone in. I used to be one of those people.

Don’t hold your breath for an in-screen Touch ID on iPhones

Apple might not offer an under-display fingerprint sensor on its iPhones for the next couple of years at least. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the slate of iPhones coming in 2023 and 2024 will most likely stick with Face ID as the biometric authentication protocol.

Kuo, who maintains a fairly reliable track record at predicting Apple’s future product road map, claimed last year that an iPhone with under-screen Touch ID will arrive in 2023. Separate reports from Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal also claimed that Apple has been experimenting with an under-display fingerprint sensor for a while now.

I don’t care if the Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a laptop or a tablet — I just want one
Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming laptop.

The ROG Flow Z13 is Asus' new gaming laptop. I think. It's actually a tablet, but it has gaming laptop components inside, and it can work as the centerpiece of a desktop setup.

I spent too much time at CES 2022 thinking about if the ROG Flow Z13 is a laptop or tablet than I care to share. But then I tried it, and I realized it doesn't matter one way or the other. It's just an excellent gaming device that I can't wait to spend more time with.
