    Tag, Moto’s it.

    Looks like Motorola will be the next company to get into the tracker tag game. MySmartPrice spotted the Moto Tag on a UAE certification site, and seems to be an extremely likely candidate to join Google’s Find My Device network.

    There’s no information about a potential launch date, but the sooner the better — tracking tags from Chipolo and Pebblebee are both on backorder.

    Jimmy Choo knows what’s up.

    Honor launched its first clamshell style foldable today, the Honor V Flip, with a Haute Couture Edition designed by the fashion legend himself. Apparently he’s taking advantage of the big 4.0-inch cover screen and embracing the whole phone-on-your-shirt concept I’ve been experimenting with. I think he wore it better.

    The V Flip is up for pre-order today — but only in China. It starts at 4,999 yuan.

    No wooden phone for us — for now.

    Earlier this year Motorola launched a trio of Edge phones internationally. Now, the budget-friendliest of the bunch will be making its way to the US as the Motorola Edge 2024. It’ll cost $549 unlocked when it goes on sale June 20th.

    Fingers crossed that the Edge 50 Ultra makes it to the US later this year — I’m ready for a wooden phone revival.

    My kingdom for a redesigned settings menu.

    According to Mark Gurman, noted Apple whisperer, we can expect a Settings redesign in iOS 18. Which, have you seen the settings menu in iOS recently? It’s chaos. We’d already heard that MacOS 15 might come with a settings overhaul, but news of a possible iOS cleanup is music to my ears.

    I can’t have it, but I want it.

    This special edition Nothing Phone 2A isn’t coming to the US and it’s already sold out, but dang it, I want one anyway. In true Nothing style it comes with an overwrought design story about “distilling things down” to their basic form. There’s a big ol’ dose of Bauhaus in there, too. What can I say? The heart wants what the heart wants.
