NewerTech Debuts iPhone Accessories

NewerTech Debuts iPhone Accessories

Building momentum for its booth at the upcoming booth at Macworld expo in San Francisco, Illinois-based Newer Technology unveiled a line of six low-cost iPhone accessories this week, including a speaker dock, earbuds, and car charger.

The dock will not only play amplified music like a traditional iPod dock, it will also make use of the iPhone’s telephony capabilities with a hands-free microphone for conference calls. Suggested retail price when it debuts on January 28 will be $34.95.

Newer Technology’s glossy black bass response earbuds currently retail for $19.99 and are designed to reduce outside noise. The company claims that their passive noise reduction (read: sealing the ear canal) reduces outside noise by an average of 42dB, while providing up to 10dB of audio output at the highest frequencies.

Other, less unique accessories include a headphone jack adapter to deal with the iPhone’s recessed jack,  a mic extender cable, a car charger, and a hands-free mic with earbuds. Unlike the iPhone dock, all are available now.

The most recent discovery concerns what happens when your iPhone's battery becomes exhausted.

Apple iPhones have a power reserve feature that conserves a small amount of battery life to support essential functions like Find My and NFC unlocking when the battery is nearly depleted. In iOS 18, the feature appears to be extended.

Following the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024) keynote, developers are starting to dig into the first iOS 18 developer beta. Though this beta lacks Apple Intelligence and many of the other features demoed on Monday, it offers a surprising new take on an old iOS feature: the flashlight.

The built-in flashlight feature has been available on the iPhone since iOS 7, which was released in 2013. It hasn't changed much at all since then, which makes sense, given its basic function. Interestingly, it has received a significant update in iOS 18.
