Last week we saw some pretty big buzz surrounding the newly revealed LEGO Wednesday Addams sets and the Ideas 21352 Magic of Disney kit, and the LEGO Group is coming in hot this morning with an even bigger unveiling, this time for more fun in a galaxy far, far away. Inbound for an October release, there is the UCS LEGO Star Wars 75397 Jabba’s Sail Barge build and the smaller 40755 Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder set. On top of both of these new kits, there’s also an exciting gift with purchase on Jabba’s Sail Barge that we will discuss with you later in this post.

Satechi debuted its new Find My passport wallet alongside the rest of the tech industry’s IFA launches, and following a string of models from other brand’s leveraging Apple’s item tracking action. But with Satechi being among our favorite accessory makers out there, and it’s latest release coming along with one very useful feature we have yet to see much from the competition, we decided to get hands-on to give it a run for its money. Head below for our hands-on impressions.

We have already detailed our favorite new iPhone 16 cases and some bands for Series 10 and Ultra 2, but now it’s time to look at some new AirPods 4 cases. Spigen always has a good selection of options for folks to safeguard their shiny new AirPods case without breaking the bank and we are ready to take a closer look at some of our favorite new releases from the brand for Apple’s latest buds. Just about all of them are seeing some launch deals on Amazon right now by way of on-page coupons too. Head below for a closer look. 

The new Eve Light Switch with Matter is debuting today. In the brand’s continued effort to future-proof its popular HomeKit smart home ecosystem, today Eve is launching its Light Switch with Matter, allowing the switch to be controlled directly via iOS 18 on iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPhone 16 devices without a home hub and play nice with the rest of the Matter gear in your setup. This, much like what we saw with its smart Weather Station back in July, also means the brand is serving up a free Matter firmware upgrade for existing owners of the third-generation Eve Light Switch via the Eve app. 

It’s official folks, Amazon has now announced this year’s fall Prime Day sale for October 8 and 9.

• OLED Mario Kart 8 bundle $350
• Standard Mario Kart 8 bundle $300

Nintendo has now officially announced this year’s Switch holiday bundles, and you guessed it…it’s Mario Kart, again. Nintendo has been serving up special holiday bundles every year since the debut of the Switch all those years ago, and it has, for the most part, been the same thing every year. It is getting very tired, despite the fact we are talking about a fascistic game with a fantastic system – this year there will be two bundles featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. At least one is the OLED Switch? 

We have seen some cool new iPhone 16 cases this year, some with Camera control buttons, bumper cases with aerospace metal, and some gorgeous leather options, but we also just spotted Spigen’s new classic iPod-looking model. The brand is no stranger to introducing designs heavily-inspired by classic Apple gear, much like the G3 iMac case that is now live for iPhone 16, and for the launch of Apple’s latest it is also bringing back one of its iPod designs. Now available for purchase in Classic Black or Classic Silver for iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, you can get a closer look at the new Spigen iPod case below. 

There is one major distinction in the iPhone case market this year for the launch of Apple’s series 16 handsets, Camera Control. With the introduction of the new multi-gesture Camera Control button, case makers couldn’t simply just resize last year’s models in order to get their covers up for sale as fast as possible, they also had to decide how they were going to handle the extra functionality and hardware changes this new camera button ushered in. 

Anker has been on a roll lately with its new Prime Power Stations followed by some of its new releases at IFA this year, but we just spotted one of its latest new gadgets for iPhone 16. The new Anker MagGo USB-C Adapter delivers microSD card reading functionality to iPhone 16 (and previous models) by way of a small MagSafe puck of sorts and a tight, integrated wrap-around USB-C cable. Now available on Amazon with a nice launch deal when paired with any of the accessories on this page, get a closer look below at the new iPhone 16 microSD card reader gadget.

Head below to get more information and a look at all the collected photos.

The prebuilt keyboard market is filled with a lot of compelling boards at both budget and ultra-premium price points. While the budget ones leave out a lot of features in the name of cost-cutting, the premium offerings with features like gasket mounting and hefty aluminum chassis demand a prohibitive price tag. There’s a distinct lack of reliable keyboards in the mid-range space offering a good mix of features at a palatable price point, and that’s exactly what Varmilo hopes to change with the new Muse65 Hall Effect keyboard.

The new Native Union iPhone 16 cases and accessories are now available for purchase just in-time for pre-order day.

The new Apple Watch Series 10 and the new black Ultra 2 are now available for pre-order with the first units set to arrive on wrists everywhere very soon. Now seems a fitting time to go over some of our favorite new bands. Even though the new 42mm and 46mm models are compatible with the massive selection of bands already out there for Series 8 and 9, Apple has released a collection of new color options for its designs and we have featured a number of new releases from some of the top brands in the business this year already, alongside the new black titanium models to link up nicely with Apple’s stealthy new Ultra 2. Head below for our favorite Apple Watch bands for the new Seires 10 and Ultra 2.

Now just a couple weeks away from launch, we have spotted a new official The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom overview trailer debuting on the official Nintendo YouTube channel. While it hasn’t hit the US channel yet (it will very soon), the UK side of things is getting another early look at Zelda’s new adventure. Today’s overview trailer comes on the heels of the story details and Traversing Hyrule footage we featured at the end of August and will likely be the last good look at the game before it the launch trailer hits somewhere near the September 26 release date.

Just as the new Qi2 standard with 15W charging has really started to take hold across the third-party Apple gear accessory space, Apple took to the virtual stage earlier this week to unleash its new 25W MagSafe Charger. While for some that might not seem like much, what with all of the fancy new AirPods, stealthy black wearables, and desert golden pocket computers dominating the air waves right now, but there are some things to consider here. 

As initially spotted over on 9to5Mac, Apple’s Beats brand is launching its very first cases this year for iPhone 16. This marks its first foray into the iPhone case design space. Now available directly from Apple and its official Amazon storefront in four different color options for iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, the new Beats cases are some of the only options on the market outside of the in-house Apple models that feature a proper setup for the new Camera Control button beyond just a cutout. You can get a closer look and more details down below.

Last week Twelve South unleashed what it called the “world’s firs power supply with Apple Find My” with the latest iteration of its PlugBug wall charger. I was already a fan of the now discontinued original PlugBug with its slender, hug-the-wall form-factor, so I was immediately knocking on Twelve South’s (virtual) door to get my hands-on the new Find My model, because Find My is cool and I wish everything I owned had it to be honest. Head below for our hands-in impressions of the new Twelve South PlugBug with Find My in the latest edition of Tested with 9to5Toys.

Among the ultra-protective iPhone 16 cases you’ll find out there, UAG is one of our favorites with a special, almost military-inspired look and feel. It has once again brought many of its most popular models back for the new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max with the same military-grade protection, support for the new Camera Control, and the introduction of new “eco-friendly case options consisting of up to 50% recycled materials, increased sustainability in packaging, and all-new 2-way removable privacy eco which is made from 100% RPET.” All of the new models are now available for purchase and we will highlight some of our favorites down below.

The PS5 Pro is set to be revealed today. Or at least just about all signs are suggesting as much. Sony announced a Technical Presentation hosted by lead console architect Mark Cerny yesterday before folks spotted a not so discreet title on the unlisted YouTube video for the teaser video that simply read “PS5 Pro.” This could be a terrible joke, something to drum up hype, or a sad mistake on whoever runs PlayStation’s official YouTube channel part, but it probably isn’t and Mr. Cerny is now just hours away from taking the stage to reveal what the new PS5 Pro is truly capable of in today’s special Technical Presentation.
