IFA 2026

Europe’s biggest consumer technology trade show, IFA, is taking place from September 4–8, 2026. Companies from around the world will pack into Berlin’s massive Messe exhibition center to show off their wares. IFA sees a host of announcements across audio, TV, wearable, smartphone, and smart home brands, along with some of Europe’s biggest home appliance manufacturers. This year robotics and AI will likely be making a big splash at the German trade show.

Does Eve think it’s hip to be square?

Smart home manufacturer Eve Systems may have a new Apple HomeKit-compatible camera up its sleeve. FCC docs discovered by German tech site Appgefahren indicate a second-gen model of the indoor Eve Cam security camera is close.

There are few details, other than a new square shape (the first-gen was circular) and the addition of 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Based on Eve’s other cameras, it’ll likely support Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video. But no Matter yet — the smart home standard still doesn’t work with cameras.
