The 20-inch all-terrain wheels and extended wheelbase make the ride less twitchy compared to the iconic British foldable and it still packs up incredibly small for those last-mile commutes. Prices start at $3,300 for the non-electric pedal bike. The Electric G models will be available Stateside in the fall with a 20mph top speed and handlebar controls for a price that’s TBD, but will likely demand a 40 percent premium if European pricing holds true. Look for my review in the coming weeks.

US consumers hoping to avoid price increases associated with Trump’s tariffs can’t just “buy American,” not with supply chains spanning North America and the world. The New York Times explores the impact tariffs will have on US automakers who are particularly at risk given the number of cars assembled in Mexico and Canada — with US-made engines and transmissions — before being shipped back across the border for purchase.

Two weeks after Apple announced its first 5G modem touting unmatched power efficiency in the iPhone 16E, its former supplier has announced its 8th gen 5G modem-to-antenna solution which includes mmWave support for gigabit throughput unlike Apple’s C1 modem. The Qualcomm X85 5G Modem-RF “sets new standards for 5G and gives connectivity leadership to the Android ecosystem.”

I just plugged Aurzen’s $65 CastPlay HDMI dongle into the $7 USB-C-to-HDMI video adapter I received a few minutes ago. After one minute of setup, the dongle now automatically pairs with Aurzen’s rechargeable $249 $299 tri-fold Zip projector to stream DRM-protected content as soon it’s plugged into my iOS and Android phones. That bumps the price considerably, and I fear the dongle or adapter will eventually get lost, but it’s a take-anywhere mirror-anything solution for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, PowerPoints, Netflix, Amazon Prime, casual gaming, etc, for people who like to travel light.

iFixit is doing its thing on the cute yet badass tiny gaming PC, calling it “the most future-proof and open entry we’ve seen in the space” despite using soldered RAM. The repair experts expect to assign a “very high” repairability score when they eventually receive a shipping version of the modular desktop.

Cyprus-based Aloha Browser says downloads of its browser grew by as much as 15x in some European markets in the year since DMA-mandated browser choice screens were introduced on iOS and Android devices.
