Magnetic cables were a sleeper hit at CES 2024
Are these safe around external disks, SSDs, storage cards, and similar devices? Maybe 10-20 years ago, folks could end up corrupting floppy disks, tape cartridges and other magnetic media with a misplaced magnet. Would seem more economical to use cable ties (either velcro or one-time plastic, or in a pinch, old bread bag ties). -

Clicks brings a physical keyboard to your iPhone
There were multiple non-Blackberry phones with keyboards until a few years after iPhone launch (Jobs even displayed them at the iPhone announcement).
Clip on mini-keyboard would be perfect for Steve Balmer, who famously said iPhone would fail because it lacked a keyboard.
I'd still rather use a laptop, or perhaps attach a full size (or at least somewhat large) keyboard.
Another option could be a conductive stylus (emulates conductive nature of a fingertip), if you just want a smaller fingertip.
May be able to use an external portable or foldable screen if you want more screen space. -
What to do if your iPhone 15 is peeling on the edge of the back glass
Big fan of heavy duty cases. I've been a klutz dropping phones back to the Motorola flip phones, and even before that, with pagers. Granted, those early devices were a lot less expensive to replace. The pagers came with alkaline AA batteries that were frequently discarded as they drained (generally, several times a month, if not more). Never had to replace or repair a device due to breakage. Probably wouldn't even see or care about issue in picture with a case.
