A lot of my friends say they don’t bother to wear watches anymore because their phones will help them tell time. The same is true for those who’ve replaced alarm clocks, timers, and cameras because it’s all pre-installed in their iPhones. Still, this might mean you have your phones placed flat on the end table next to your bed, or sometimes even in bed next to your pillow. With Bracketron’s MetalDock iPhone stand, you can double your phone as all the things you intended it to with a better view and a more attractive look.

The MetalDock is shaped like an L which can be placed in portrait or landscape angles. While simultaneously charging your iPhone 4 or 4S, the MetalDock allows the phone to clearly display time and date with your app of choice. The body is also made with heavy-duty metal for durability, yet maintaining a lightweight form that’s easily portable. Dress up a hostel to make your overnight stays in foreign places feel a bit more like home. The rubberized feet will also hold the device in place without any slippage.

Equipped with a 3-inch cable, the MetalDock is intended to be a bedside or office table accessory to keep your device helpful without losing juice. The cable connects via USB power and can also sync the phone to your computer. You can purchase the MetalDock from Bracketron when it unveils in June for $35. The product will also be showcased alongside the company’s eco-friendly GreenZero line at CTIA in New Orleans this week.

3 reasons why I’ll actually use Anker’s new iPhone power bank

A person holding the Anker MagGo Power Bank.

Power banks are a necessary evil, and even if you don’t consider yourself a “power user” who's likely to drain a phone’s battery in less than a day, there will be times when one comes in handy. And when I am forced to carry one, I want it to be as helpful and versatile as possible.

I’ve been trying Anker’s MagGo Power Bank 10K -- meaning it has a 10,000mAh cell inside it -- and there are three reasons why I'm OK with it taking up valuable space in my bag.

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.
