Two new uGreen NASync storage systems have on-device AI
Two Intel-based NAS systems, the NASync iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro, were unveiled by Ugreen at CES 2026, bringing local AI features and faster networking to the company’s NAS lineup.
Ugreen’s new models expand the NASync lineup with higher-capacity storage and faster networking options. Both systems also introduce on-device AI capabilities designed to run locally rather than relying on cloud services.
For Apple users, this class of NAS hardware offers private, high-speed storage that integrates with Macs without requiring subscription-based cloud platforms.
Apple Sainte-Catherine to open in Montreal on January 16
Apple is celebrating the forthcoming opening of new, larger premises for its Montreal store with local art and an exclusive shopping bag.
Back in April 2024, it was revealed that Apple Sainte-Catherine would be moving to a new location. It was then expected to complete the move in February 2025.
Now the store is due to open at 10 A.M. local time on Friday, January 16.
A simple fix for the interface-breaking bug on YouTube Clips
A frustrating bug has surfaced on YouTube Clips has surfaced, making the entire interface unusable — but a small, targeted fix restores the feature almost instantly.
One of the most useful features YouTube has released in the last ten years is the Clip feature. Clipping allows you to link out to a 5-to-60 second section, or clip, of a video.
Previously, the best we had was timestamps, a feature that allows you to link a video that starts at a specific time. Unfortunately, they don’t really tell recipients when to stop watching.
This is probably the iPhone Fold's crease-proof screen
Samsung Display briefly displayed a creaseless foldable OLED panel at CES, that is very likely to be the one that will be used in the iPhone Fold.
Apple was said to have developed its own crease-proof folding display. However, reports in July 2025 claimed it would use a Samsung design instead — and that design may now have been unveiled.
According to SamMobile, Samsung is showcasing its first crease-less OLED panel at CES 2026. The company has a “Crease Test” area in its CES booth, pitting the new display against existing foldable OLED panels.
Rumor Score: 🤔 Possible
Find My comes to Moft's new magnetic iPhone accessories
At CES 2026, Moft revealed three new devices it will soon be launching, equipped with Apple Find My. You can choose from two new MagSafe wallets or an extending stand.
These aren’t the first Find My accessories from Moft. The accessory maker, well known for its unique folding designs and use of magnets, first showed off its Find My-enabled MagSafe wallet at CES 2025.
All three of Moft’s new accessories are upgraded versions of the original versions that were already on the market. Find My helps make sure you’ll never lose them with left behind alerts, audio pinging, location sharing, and lost mode.
Keychron packs CES 2026 with upgraded Q and V series mechanical keyboards
Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts will have plenty to choose from in 2026, and Keychron is out of the gate with new 8K polling rate keyboards with a full metal design and Silk POM switches.
Keychron’s lineup of mechanical keyboards ranges in every shape, size, and layout imaginable, and they’re always iterating on those models. Its CES 2026 exhibit reveals upgrades to its popular Q series and V series, while also showcasing some future prototypes and existing models.
The Q Ultra series, which includes the Q6 Ultra 100% layout keyboard, the Q3 Ultra TKL layout keyboard, and the Q1 Ultra 75% layout keyboard, is launching during CES 2026 on January 6. It is the first range of mass-produced ZMK mechanical keyboards with up to 660 hours of battery life at 8K polling rate in 2.4GHz wireless mode.
Mooncool TK1 Folding Electric Trike review: good first e-trike, if simple & expensive
The TK1 Folding Electric Trike combines features like a folding frame, 1,000W peak motor operation, and three wheels — which results in a higher-than-average price and weight.
My first time touching any kind of bicycle in nearly 15 years was an e-bike I reviewed in 2022, and in the time since, I’ve reviewed several shapes and sizes of e-bikes. However, I had never tried out an electric trike until now.
The Mooncool TK1 Folding Electric Trike wasn’t exactly something I expected to love, especially considering how different it was from a recent favorite fat tire e-bike I reviewed. It was closer to a moped in shape and size, and the concept of a utility e-bike was new to me.
Eve's new minimalist smart thermostat supports Matter-over-Thread
At CES 2026, Eve Systems is expanding its Matter portfolio with its new smart thermostat that sports a clean design, Apple Home support, and automatic adjustments.
This new smart thermostat follows the launch of a similar thermostat from Eve for the European market that was announced at the end of 2025. It’s a rounded, white square with a simple display that shows the temperature and eco status.
Touch controls are located at the top and bottom of the display for easy manual adjustment. With Matter-over-Thread, users can control it remotely, set a schedule, and automate it based on location.
