    You can add buttons, dials, and a grip to this retro camera smartphone case.

    With a leather back and textured metal frame, Fotorgear’s new $199 case makes the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max look and feel like a retro camera. But it goes one step further with a modular design letting its side rails be swapped for more functional alternatives.

    You can add a grip with a tripod mount, plus dials and buttons that provide quick access to settings and filters when used with Fotorgear’s own camera app.

    <em>The case gives the iPhone 16 Pro models a more rounded finish on the top and bottom.</em>
    <em>Several of the modular attachments include a cold shoe mount for attaching lights or microphones to the case.</em>
    <em>The case also allows filters and lenses to be attached to the back of the iPhone, expanding its photographic capabilities.</em>
    <em>Fotorgear’s iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max case is available for preorder now with delivery expected by March 18th, 2025.</em>

    The Super Nintendo is somehow getting faster with age.

    We’ve come to expect reduced performance from aging hardware, but some gamers have discovered the opposite with the Super Nintendo, as spotted by Time Extension.

    The SNES’ main CPU, featuring a quartz crystal, is okay. But the console’s audio processing unit, which uses a ceramic resonator, is now running faster and speeds up as the hardware warms. The issue will potentially produce higher pitched sounds, but it’s not yet known if it will affect gameplay.
