Apple might not be at CES 2014 in any official capacity, but it doesn’t stop other companies from showing off products that pair with Apple devices. MarBlue, a South Florida based case maker, unveiled two new cases at CES 2014 designed to keep your iPhone and iPad safe and secure.

MarBlue’s newest iPhone case, designed for the iPhone 5/5S, is dubbed the DrySuit Convertible. Claimed by the company as “the future of waterproof cases,” the DrySuit Convertible can serve as a standard iPhone protective cover or be turned into a waterproof casing that keeps the phone working even after being submerged in up to 6.6 feet of water for 30 minutes. Even with the waterproof case on, the Touch ID fingerprint sensor is still functional. The DrySuit Convertible will retail for around $70 and will be available in several colors. No date for availability has been announced.

For the larger portion of the iOS family, MarBlue showed off the DoubleTake case for iPad Air. It appears as a heavy-duty protective solution with “shock absorbent soft TPE rubber molded over impact resistant polycarbonate.” It is designed to offer flexibility with a folding cover that provides a better viewing angle and typing position. The DoubleTake case will be shipping in March 2014 with four different colors to choose from. No price has been announced.

iOS 18 could make my iPhone look like Android, and I hate it

The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's rear panels.

If rumors are to be believed, iOS 18 will allow you to customize the home screen on your iPhone more substantially than ever before. This feature will be familiar to Android phone owners, but I don’t want my iPhone to look like an Android phone.

It’s a weird double-edged sword, as by giving you more freedom to make the home screen look unique, iOS may also lose what makes it unique compared to the less constrained world of Android.

How to change your iPhone’s notification sound in iOS 17

Apple made a change to the default notification sound when it launched iOS 17, replacing “Tri-tone” with “Rebound.”Users have been unable to switch back to the original sound or select a different one as the default, and not everyone is a fan of the new tune. As you'd imagine, that's left some folks rather annoyed.

iOS 18 could add a customization feature I’ve waited years for

iOS 17 interactive widgets on an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

iOS 18 is coming later this year, and all signs point to it being a dramatic iPhone update. Now, thanks to one new report, it looks like iOS 18 could add a customization feature I've been waiting years and years and years for: better home screen customization.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, iOS 18 will introduce a "more customizable" home screen. More specifically, iOS 18 will allow you to place app icons and widgets anywhere you want. If you want a space or break between an app icon or your widget, welcome to the future: iOS 18 may finally let you do that. MacRumors corroborated this report with its own sources, too.
