Sometimes, the best products are the ones that are the simplest. Google's Chromecast, an HDMI dongle that lets you "cast" videos, music and apps to a TV or computer display using a phone, tablet or computer, is one of those products. At $35, it became an instant hit with consumers when it was released two years ago and went on to sell over 20 million units globally. It was the best-selling media streaming device in 2014, according to analyst group NPD, besting more powerful and pricier set-top boxes like the Apple TV and Roku. The new Chromecast doesn't mess with the original's successful formula. It's got a new design and a faster processor and Wi-Fi, and the dongle now comes in colors other than black, but it's still a Chromecast.
With the debut of the next-generation iPhone likely three months away — a new one traditionally launches each September — the Apple rumor mill is heating up right on schedule. Allegedly leaked photos of Apple's upcoming iPhone, presumed to be called the iPhone 6S, reveal an exterior casing that looks nearly identical to the iPhone 6 but comes with some internal updates. The details come from tech site 9to5Mac, which has a solid track record of correctly identifying leaks ahead of an Apple launch. Despite initial rumors that the next-generation 4.7-inch iPhone could be even slimmer than the iPhone 6, the leaked photos show no changes to the casing. If the photos are legit, any differences in thickness, length or width are too small to notice. This doesn't come as a huge surprise, considering the iPhone is on an "S" cycle this year, which traditionally has fewer design changes and more internal upgrades.
If don't want to charge your Apple Watch every night, a new company called Vector has a smartwatch that wants to liberate you from the charging cable. It isn't going to liberate you from checking your phone like the Apple Watch (theoretically) will, but it splits the difference between that and a traditional watch. Vector seems to be trying to win over the hearts of those who already wear traditional watches, rather than the tech-obsessed users of the Apple Watch and other Android Wear devices.
