AGF Offers Some Armor for your iPhone

iPhone and iPod touch owners know that protective sleeves and cases for their precious iDevices are a dime a dozem—well, all right, they’re more like $20 to $50 apiece, but the point is that the market is not lacking for protective gear for iPhones. Some products are effective, some are stylish, some are silly—and some are all three—but very few can be describes as “tough.” They’ll do the job from bumping around in a backpack or purse, but not much more.

For folks looking for a sturdier solution, AGF has rolled out its Precision HSD Case for the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The hardshell case is designed to ride on a belt, strap, or other accessible spot with a 180-swivel clip, and the hard shell case features a microfiber lining that accommodates an iPhone either screen-in or screen-out without actually latching to the phone. Users can easily flip open the case door to view calls or the phone’s status, and the hinge is engineered for strength and durability.

Style? Well, not so much. But it won’t get you kicked out of a corporate office or a police station.

The AGF Precision HSD case is available now at a suggested price of $34.95; AGF is offering free ground shipping in the continental United States.

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.
