Review: SwitchBot Wallet Finder is an incredibly useful accessory to track your wallet with iPhone Find My

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2026-01-24 16:09:48

I have an AirTag on my keychain to keep track of my keys, but obviously an AirTag is too big and bulky to fit inside a wallet. That’s what the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is for. Disguised inside a thin, credit-card form factor, the SwitchBot Wallet Finder connects to the Find My app on your iPhone, so you can follow its location, and it even houses a speaker so you can make it beep to help you find your wallet when it inevitably gets lost somewhere in your home.

The words "satellite phone" probably conjure up an image of a clunky mobile monstrosity straight out of a spy thriller. These bulky and utilitarian traditional satellite phones are typically required in remote locations where cellular networks are unavailable. Nowadays, however, satellite connectivity can be found in regular smartphones too, thanks to new hardware innovations and unique partnerships with satellite network providers.

Imagine a downtown urban street on a traffic-heavy Saturday night. Now, add a severe snowstorm and an autonomous vehicle that safely navigates it all, despite fogged-up cameras, unpredictable pedestrians in oversized outerwear, streetlights throwing glare off a dozen wet surfaces, and the snow itself, which all but obliterates the visibility of traffic signs and lane markers. A computer vision (CV) system that could make this safe navigation possible would revolutionize not only autonomous

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the US National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded LIGO observatories.

Obviously, there was the iPhone 5c back in 2013 as a cheaper offering compared to the iPhone 5s. It didn’t sell too well, but it was certainly its first venture into this market. Afterwards, there was the iPhone SE lineup, which had an average of 3 years between each refresh. Now, it’s looking like the ‘cheaper’ iPhone will become a regular part of the iPhon
