According to Mac Rumours, we’re going to see a new iPhone SE in 2025.

The device is going to look a lot like the iPhone 14 

Codenamed D59 or Ghost will have the flat display, and lighter than the iPhone 14. 

It’s also believed to have USBC onboard which would be a huge win for a lower cost iPhone.

If you’re fan of customising your keyboard, brand, who is well known for skins and cases has their own key caps available.

There’s three unique looks

It only comes with two keycaps, the ESC key and the enter key. 

The ESC key is a pyramid aluminium keycap

And the enter key is rebranded as F OFF lol. 

Pretty typical of dBrands edge marketing style. 

“According to Dbrand "This started with a simple premise: an escape key that stabs whoever presses it. Lawyers advised that we soften the tip a little bit, but rest assured you're never more than one firm key press away from drawing blood." The Pyramid key comes in three variations: Neochrome, Black, and Raw Metal, and pairs with any GMK set, fitting seamlessly into any keyboard that uses the Cherry profile”

New OLED Steam Deck is a HUGE upgrade over the previous version. It has upgrades to the screen, battery life, processor, controls, triggers, weight and SO much more. Plus it now comes in a 1TB version. Is this enough to convince you to make a purchase? Personally, I’m VERY tempted.
