2. Climbing robot vacuum cleaners
With the latest technologies it is becoming increasingly easier to keep your house in order. Robot vacuum cleaners have become more normal in recent years and can be seen more often in households. Unfortunately, robot vacuum cleaners have one big disadvantage, because they have difficulty with height differences. Too high thresholds are already a problem for the average robot vacuum cleaner, stairs are an even greater obstacle.
The IFA showed that these problems will soon be a thing of the past, because there are more and more robot vacuum cleaners that can climb stairs. In most cases, this happens with cool gadgets, which ensure that the robot vacuum cleaner can enter and end the stairs. The EUFY Marswalker is a good example of this, because with this part the vacuum cleaner rolls the stairs on and off without any problems.
3. Airbell
Has your bike ever been stolen? Or do you regularly forget where you have parked your bike? The Airbell offers a handy solution for that, because the cool gadget has a built -in airtag. The device has-as the name suggests-the shape of a bell, but has support for the search my app. That way you always see the location of your bike on your iPhone, iPad and Mac (book).
Two generations of the Airbell are now available. With the first version of the Airbell, there was room for an airtag that you had to purchase separately. The newer version is more advanced, because it has a built -in tracker as standard. So you no longer have to buy a separate airtag, but you see the Airbell immediately in the search my app. All you have to do is replace the button cell battery when it is empty, so that you always know where your bike is.

4. Wireless charging even faster
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 series have support for Qi2, which is the new standard for wireless charging. This new standard has been developed in collaboration with Apple and works with magnets. That is similar to Apple’s Magsafe, which ensures faster and more efficient charging. For this, the wireless chargers must support Qi2 that the latest gadgets is increasingly the case.
That Qi2 is the new standard for wireless charging was also seen at the IFA. Almost all major manufacturers will release new wireless chargers in the coming period, which work with Qi2. For example, there will be plenty of new charging stations with Qi2 for your iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch in one, so that you no longer need cables. Example of this is the Magfusion Ark from Aukey, which has no fewer than 6 charging places.
