A lot was covered during Apple’s keynote last week. Tim Cook opened the keynote citing and honouring the late Steve Jobs and giving Apple’s theatre his name, recognizing how Jobs truly influenced so many lives when he first announced the iPhone 10 years ago. That was an emotional speech from Tim Cook and does justice…
I always find it interesting when new companies make bold claims, and Fuse Chicken has come out with a big one: they’ve apparently made the toughest cable on earth.

That’s why I’ve been insanely eager to get my hands on the Zhiyun Smooth 3…
