Pencil this in: Newton Calendar now available on iPhone and iPad

By Steven Winkelman Published December 7, 2017

CloudMagic, the company behind the popular Newton Mail app, released a new calendar app called Newton Calendar. The app is the first stand-alone calendar app for CloudMagic and is now available on the App Store. Newton Calendar provides users with a minimalist calendar experience with a user interface that closely resembles Newton Mail.

Newton Calendar is CloudMagic’s first attempt to bring a calendar app to iOS. The company previously added calendar functionality to its Newton Mail app on Android in 2015. While the functionality is still available for people using the Android app, multitasking between the email and calendar functions are unwieldy. CloudMagic created Newton Calendar for iOS to work as a standalone app, enabling users to easily multitask between it and Newton Mail.

At first glance Newton Calendar looks fairly basic, however the app has a number of powerful calendar features. You can send meeting invitations, set recurring appointments, and attach notes to an individual event. The calendar also offers navigation assistance through Apple Maps for pinned appointment locations. Newton Calendar currently works with Google and Exchange accounts.

The interface is intuitive and easy to use, especially for Newton Mail users. While Newton Calendar looks promising, it lacks some features currently available on the Newton Mail app on Android. CloudMagic said it intends to bring many of these functions to Newton Calendar in future app updates.

Although Newton Calendar is a free download, you must have a Newton Mail account to sign in, and at $50 a year, Newton Mail is one of the more expensive email apps available. Since Newton Calendar is currently limited to iOS devices, it may be a hard sell for people who want the same cross-platform experience available on Newton Mail.

Newton Calendar app is currently available in the App Store and works on both iPhones and iPads. If you have never used Newton Mail, you will need to install it first and sign up for an account. CloudMagic plans to release a stand-alone calendar app for Android devices in the future and has hinted at a Mac app as well.

Motorola’s wide foldable just leaked, and it could fix the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s biggest problem

Here's your first real look at Motorola's next big foldable, sketches and all.

Electrical Device, Switch, Electronics

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, the company’s first wide foldable, became a sleeper hit that no one saw coming. It was quite obvious Samsung made the wide fold in a preemptive attempt to compete with the upcoming iPhone Ultra, but it struck gold. The phone is selling so well now that the company is facing severe component shortages.

It seems other companies have seen Fold 8’s success and are taking their own stab at making a wide foldable. According to a new report from Android Headlines, Motorola is working on a wide foldable phone, and we just got our first real look at it. An anonymous source shared exclusive sketches with the outlet, giving us a solid idea of the device's design before Motorola has said a word.

Your next charger might judge how slowly your phone is charging

Vention has brought a 140W GaN charger to IFA 2026 with a quirky display that uses animated faces to show exactly how fast your gadgets are charging.

Chargers usually don't have much personality. Plug something in, maybe glance at a tiny LED, and hope your phone or laptop is getting power as quickly as it should. Vention's latest charger has a slightly more entertaining way of keeping you informed: It makes faces at you.

Unveiled at IFA 2026, the Vention Dash Pro is a 140W GaN charger with four ports and a small display that uses animated, color-coded faces to show what's happening. Alongside it, Vention has introduced the H Series, a remarkably thin magnetic power bank that puts considerably more emphasis on design than the chunky battery packs we're used to carrying around. Both are part of Vention's bigger push into the US and European markets, but they tackle portable charging in very different ways.

Tecno made a Tonino Lamborghini edition smartphone and it looks pretty stunning

The rear panel lights up when the phone boots, and the camera island has its own animated display

TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition launched at IFA 2026

At IFA 2026, Tecno came with a packed slate of hardware, revealing the MEGABOOK T15 360 as its first 360-degree hinge laptop, a Bezel-less Concept Phone, and the sleek TECNO CAMON Slim 5G smartphone. The limelight, however, was stolen by the TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition smartphone.

Yes, the name is quite a mouthful, but the device is extremely stunning to look at. The device adopts an eye-catching black-and-red palette with lovely hexagon patterns on the back. Running vertically across the rear shell is what Tecno refers to as the Pulse Line that plays a key role in the aesthetics. It lights up every time you boot up the phone.
