Bad news if you're still rocking an iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus and hoped to install iOS 13 -- Apple won't support the latest version of the OS on those devices. Owners of the original iPad Air, iPad Mini2 and iPad Mini 3 will miss out on th...
Earlier this month we found out about KFC Japan’s chicken-themed computer keyboard and mouse. The restaurant chain continues to celebrate Colonel Sanders’ 124th birthday with its latest silly giveaway. Behold!
And people think the iPhone 6 Plus is huge. I don’t even need a translation for whatever the Colonel is thinking. Check out KFC Japan’s website to see its other new promo item, an equally unwieldy fried chicken pillow.

Thermal cameras can be used for all sorts of things from monitoring body temperature for coaches to finding thermal leaks in your home. The catch is that most thermal cameras cost $1000 or more. During CES 2014 this past January, Flir, a leader in thermal cameras, unveiled a cheaper thermal camera accessory for the iPhone that looks very slick.
The accessory is called the Flir One and it will fit the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. The camera sells for $349(USD) and is available starting today. At that price, it is much cheaper than the next cheapest thermal camera in the Flir range priced at around $1000.
Flir says that a version of this camera accessory for Android users is coming next year. A version of the accessory for iPhone 6 models can also be produced quickly according to the company.
You can check out an interactive simulation of the Flir One in action here.
As good as smartphone cameras may be, we still need accessories or special apps to make the photos better. The Ztylus case, with its 4-in-1 lens system, gives people a bit of a flexibility in terms of how they shoot their photos.
Sony launched the QX lens system not long ago, with the same purpose of offering mobile photographers better quality and more flexibility. The problem with that lens system is that it’s quite a hefty solution, not to mention expensive. The Ztylus case for iPhone 5/5S is the equivalent for Apple’s smartphones, even though someone who has the financial resources to buy such an (overpriced) smartphone must definitely also have the dough for some dope accessories.
The Ztylus case is obviously intended for flagship smartphones and phablets, as the manufacturer only makes a few versions that are compatible with the iPhone, Note 3 or S4. The polycarbonate and aircraft-grade aluminum combo helps you protect the already fragile devices, so even without the lens system, Ztylus has some great functionality.
Ztylus also comes with a kickstand, which means that after shooting some great photos, you can place the phone on the table and watch your creations.
Regardless if you want to shoot macro pictures or you simply want to have images with the fish eye effect, Ztylus can help you.
Smartphone manufacturers have tried for quite a while to make their products as close to real cameras as possible, and Samsung was the closest, with its Galaxy S4 Zoom smartphone-camera hybrid. If the technology implemented in the camera sensor itself is not good enough, people shouldn’t despair, as it’s still possible to achieve decent results using aftermarket products such as the Ztylus 4-in-1 lens system case. The metal frame of the lens kit definitely adds some bulkiness to the smartphone, but that doesn’t mean that its weight goes up by much.
The bad news about the Ztylus 4-in-1 lens system is that you need to purchase the case and the lenses separately.
While the case itself will be available for $39.99, the RV-2 Revolver lens kit will retail for $69.99. The overall price is a bit steep, considering how cheap the Chinese alternatives go nowadays, but if you own a flagship smartphone or phablet, you should accept nothing less than premium accessories.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is on store shelves and you can purchase one if you have the financial chutzpah. The smartphone features several important modules and many modalities, yet if there is one thing...
Last week, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima shared images of the iDroid case via Twitter. It makes the iPhone 5 and 5S look like the eponymous cutting edge walkie-talkie used by Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Snake must have been wearing cargo pants in the game, because this thing is huge.
Kojima also pointed out the features of the case on Twitter. It has a blue light in place of the in-game item’s holographic display and a fake antenna that’s actually a small stylus. The case also has buttons for the iPhone’s sleep and volume controls. The part of the case that covers the phone’s camera lens and flash can also be removed. As a final touch, Kojima encourages fans who will get the iDroid case to download the free MGS V: GZ app. According to Metal Gear Informer, Sentinel will release the iDroid case in Japan this October for ¥7,500 (~$74 USD). I don’t know if it will be released internationally. If you’re more of an Attack on Titan fan, you’ll be glad to know that Sentinel also has a 3D Maneuver Gear hand grip iPhone case on its lineup.
