I tested 13 Switch 2 cases and these are the best

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-15 05:26:31

You might find it kind of sad to put a hard-earned gadget into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing. Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches. So, I wasted no time testing cases on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and it didn’t take long for me to find one that I think is the best. I tried several types of cases on the Switch 2. I tested flimsy shells that snap or slide onto the Switch 2 to provide a simple, aesthetically pleasing barrier from scratches

The iPhone is capable of capturing plenty of varying scenes, and has been for many years. Ever since iPhone 11 Pro, we’ve had a triple camera array, allowing for ultrawide, wide, and telephoto shots. Despite this, many companies still offer third party lens solutions for your iPhone, allowing you to capture even more with your iPhone.

The second-gen Apple Watch is now ‘obsolete’, but don’t get confused

Five years after Apple stops selling a product, it may become ‘vintage’, meaning Apple will still repair it. Five years after that, it can become ‘obsolete,’ and Apple no longer offers hardware service or parts. Today’s that day for the Apple Watch Series 1. Here’s what that means Wait, is it the Series 1, or the 2nd-gen Apple Watch? In a nutshell, both. They’re the same picture device.

Why Nintendo didn’t raise the price of the Switch 2 (yet)

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-12-17 20:00:00

Just about every piece of hardware that Nintendo sells is getting a little more expensive in the US — with the exception of the Switch 2. That includes all models of the original Switch, a bunch of accessories, and even a motion-activated alarm clock. The changes were made ahead of sweeping Trump administration tariffs that are scheduled to go into effect in August, and they show Nintendo is leaning on a strategy that it has employed across its business: largely avoiding risk.
