Following the launch of several USB-C charging accessories one month ago, Belkin has announced a new docking station that’s made specifically with Chromebooks in mind. The new Belkin 14-Port USB-C Docking Station turns a single USB-C port into 13 various connection types. Even better, it supports up to two 4K monitors at 60Hz and three 1080p displays at 60Hz using various HDMI and DisplayPort inputs. Other I/O includes dual USB-C, five USB-A, Ethernet, and a 3.5mm audio port. Continue reading to learn more.
One month after it released a new MagSafe iPhone 12 car mount, Belkin has unleashed a fresh batch of iPhone- and iPad-focused accessories. Three Belkin USB-C offerings are now up for grabs, two coming in the form of GaN chargers alongside a Rockstar 3.5mm Audio adapter for Type-C devices like iPad Pro. Since GaN power adapters are very popular these days, it’s not too surprising that these new Belkin USB-C offerings try to set themselves apart with either multiple ports or a flat-to-wall design. Continue reading to learn more.
Today, Belkin is expanding its stable of MagSafe-compatible accessories with a new in-car offering. Delivering a more streamlined model of versions we’ve seen in the past, the new MagSafe Car Vent Mount arrives with the same iPhone 12 focus and an integrated cable holder. Head below for all of the details.
A couple of new Belkin Always-On Laptop Sleeves have surfaced both at Amazon and on the company’s website. One model targets 11- to 12-inch laptops, while the other will accommodate 13- to 14-inch devices. Instead of surrounding a notebook only when being taken from one place to another, these Belkin’s new sleeves hold MacBooks, Chromebooks, and other laptops in place, even when in use. Twelve South SuitCase takes a similar approach, but doesn’t physically hold the laptop in any way. Continue reading to learn more.
With years of MacBooks, Chromebooks, and PC laptops adopting USB-C, it should come as no surprise that there’s a plethora of hubs on the market. This is great for consumers who can easily find an ideal solution that taps into all of the flexibility the port offers, but so many options can also make the shopping experience somewhat daunting. A new entry in the Belkin USB-C hub lineup aims to inject a trustworthy product into a sea of questionable ones. It offers up seven ports, wields support for up to 100-watt passthrough charging, can power a 4K display, and the list goes on. Continue reading to learn more.
Just last month, Belkin turned some heads by unleashing one of the first pairs of third-party earbuds with Find My support. Fast-forward to today, and the company has yet another notable product up for grabs. This time around it’s Belkin SoundForm Move, a similar Bluetooth earbud offering that pares down features in favor of a budget-friendly $50 price tag. An included charging case puts these on par with AirPods by delivering 24-hour battery life. USB-C charging is also onboard, helping to curb the need to carry an additional type of cable. Continue reading to learn more.
Let’s take a look at the new Belkin AirTag cases. The new Apple AirTag Loop and Leather Key Ring cases are now up for sale on the official Amazon storefront and direct, alongside the first offerings from Nomad, Pad & Quill, and Spigen, but it’s now time to check out the first Belkin AirTag cases. Available in two form factors, the Secure holder key ring style and the Strap variant, they come in at less than half the price of the official Apple offerings and slightly undercut the particularly affordable $14 Caseology dog tag style we featured recently. Now available for purchase starting from $13 Prime shipped, head below for a closer look.
Competition is heating up in the world of earbuds. Today’s news is thanks to Apple opening up Find My features to third parties. The new Belkin SOUNDFORM Freedom True Wireless Earbuds will one of the first pairs of earbuds to tap into this feature set. Belkin opened up pre-orders today and the landing page showcases some impressive specifications that could give AirPods a run for their money.

With so many Internet of Things (IoT) devices dominating our homes, the ability to control them all continues to be a journey of trial and error. We continue to hear that Apple’s HomeKit is coming down the pipeline but its ultimate usefulness has yet to be seen. In the meantime, there is a Kickstarter project called Nuimo that plans on bringing all of the controls for SONOS, Philips Hue and others typically found in your iPhone to a physical knob and display. It has already blown past its goal in just a few days…

Belkin curiously introduced all-new iPad Bluetooth Keyboards a mere 72 hours before Tim Cook would take the stage at 1 Infinite Loop to announce iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3. The refreshed QODE keyboard cases were certainly worth lusting over, but what good are they if they don’t support Apple’s latest tablets, right? Well, Belkin fixed that this morning by releasing an updated line of keyboards and covers specifically designed for iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3…

Apple’s Lightning cable has been a thorn in side of Apple fans for a while now. Shortly after its debut alongside iPhone 5 in 2012, it became abundantly clear that Apple’s claims of ‘improved durability’ where specious at best. Apple-branded Lighting cables have failed time and time again.
Now it’s three years later and Apple has done nothing to address the durability of its Lightning cables. We’ve put together a roundup of ultra-tough Lightning cables that should last longer than your new iPhone 6/6 Plus…
The Thunderstorm is a full-range speaker system with a protective casing with various angles for a great entertainment experience.
We found it to be perfect for iPad users who frequently game or watch videos during our review:
I’ve tried many Bluetooth speakers from Logitech, Jawbone, NYNE, JBL and more, and I can honestly say none quite compare to Thunderstorm when it comes to a rich, immersive sound experience for watching video on an iPad. Its a unique experience with Thunderstorm, fine tuned specifically for the movie watching experience, and it’s definitely worth your attention if much of your time with an iPad is spent watching video.
Belkin brought home automation to the masses years ago with its WeMo lineup of app-connected switches and plugs. Today, the WeMo ecosystem is expanding to include Smart LED bulbs.
Just like standard LED bulbs, WeMo bulbs last longer (up to 23 years) and consume less energy (only 10 watts) than their out-dated incandescent counterparts. Each dimmable bulb is rated at 800 lumens and 3000 kelvins, which produces a “pleasing warm white light.”
WeMo bulbs easily install by screwing into existing lighting fixtures, but that’s not even the best part…
(Update 5/19 10:30am): The time has come. Apple has randomly announced a new Lightning dock for iPhone 6/Plus. However, you should still take a look at the numerous third party options (below) that have been on the market for years. Many of these options offer more styling and better value compared to Apple’s dock.
If you were one of over 4 million people who preordered an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus this weekend, then you may have noticed that one of Apple’s most popular accessories for previous gen iPhones is curiously absent from its online store. As of right now, Apple seems to be sitting on the sideline and will not be releasing a dock designed for its newest smartphones.
Docks position your iPhone in a way that makes it easier to keep tabs on incoming notifications, all while helping create a clean workspace by wrangling messy cables.
There are already several iPhone 6 and 6 Plus dock solutions. Here are our favorite docks, stands, mounts, and more:
