Liquid wallpapers for iPhone

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated November 8, 2021

Since the iPhone X launch videos and marketing promos included a liquid-filled screen, wallpapers of the same genre became quite popular on the site. Today is another submission in the same category, with extremely vivid swirling color schemes and a little sparkle showing through. While the genre has only become recently popular, @VasjenKatro created these original works before the iPhone X was even announced.

My love-hate relationship with HomePod

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 10, 2018

When Apple announced HomePod, the news did not really move the needle for my excitement. I wasn't induced to a frenzy, which is the case for most other Apple announcements. Okay, Apple is going to try their hand at a speaker. It's not the first time, and will not be their last. But, as an imbedded Sonos customer, there just wasn't anything that piqued my interest with this forthcoming $350 device.

When HomePod finally came to market little more than a week ago, I read review after review that immediately gushed over the device's premium audio quality. No surprise, I had to go get one on launch weekend, but, I am not sure I intend to keep it.

Review: Mujjo’s premium leather iPhone X case and knitted gloves

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 10, 2018

While I started my days with iDB as a hardware reviewer, recently the Wallpapers of the Week section is where I spend my time. It is rare for me to accept a review from hardware providers, just because of the effort that goes into properly penning an accessory review. However, the Mujjo leather iPhone X case has brought me out of retirement. You may have seen Andrew cover this case in his Epic iPhone X case round up, but I wanted to add some extra words for this great case.

Rugged outdoors wallpaper collection by Nomad

Just as you can expect Nomad to bring you high quality mobile accessories, you can expect our Wallpaper of the Week series to provide amazing photo quality wallpapers. Today, those two forces meet.

Review: Satechi’s high-end aluminum wireless charger

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 10, 2018

Since grabbing an iPhone X, I have also been enjoying the freedom that wireless charging provides. Yes, I know, pretty much every other handset has enjoyed wireless charging for several years. This isn't the place for carrying on about Apple always being last to market. I have been using the Satechi Aluminum Wireless Charger for a few months and welcome the ease-of-use.
