iPhone 🤝 Blackberry

Happy Friday! Week one is down — only 51 more weeks to go until 2025. 

Here’s the news: 

🤖 Google wrote a “Robot Constitution” to make sure AI doesn’t go rogue.

🚽 A voice-controlled toilet bidet now exists because, of course, it does.

🎨 InVision is shutting down its design collaboration services.

It’s that time of year again. No, not New Year's, not Epiphany Eve (I just learned about this). It’s almost time for CES. The tech event show is gearing up for a January 9th launch and, with it, countless new products. One of them just gave the world a sneak peek. 

Clicks is an iPhone case with a twist. It gives your iPhone a Blackberry-style keyboard, complete with the satisfying clickity-clack sound you remember from high school. 

It connects to your iPhone like a Backbone controller. Each case comes with either a Lightning connector or USB-C. Line up your phone, connect it, and slide the case around it. 

From there, the keyboard activates. It does away with Bluetooth and even a battery, instead drawing power directly from your iPhone. It’s backlit and even comes with a CMD key. Did you know CMD+H will bring you to the home screen? 

It’s developed by former Apple employees, and according to them, a companion app will be coming shortly. The Clicks case starts at $159 and comes in two colors: “Bumblebee” (yellow) and “London Sky” (gray) — sorry Londoners.
