HeyupConecta
Just about every Apple iPhone that is being deployed in the last few years! :-D

There are so many I cannot list them all but a few are:
Bone conduction headset/glasses - couldn’t find the model / price I wanted to test
Smart glasses - not yet convinced about the features and technical proposal / price
XR glasses - similarly to smart glasses, plus I’m not sure they are actually usefull (but lord aren’t they cool?)
Laser Ultra short throw projectors - too expensive

I was really excited about the Humane AI Pin at first. It felt like the future…this sleek, screenless little assistant you wear? Totally my vibe.

But the more I looked into it, the more it just… wasn’t it. Battery life’s rough, it overheats, the functionality’s kind of limited, and the price? Yeah, no thanks. Felt like paying for a prototype.

So as much as I wanted to love it… I ended up skipping, and now it is no longer exsistent.

This product has not come out yet, but it is the Nintendo Switch 2!!! It looks incredible with all the new features, and I’m really excited to see it drop in June… But at this point after hearing the price, the price of games, and how crazy it is just to try and get a pre order I am just going to have to skip it for now, maybe in the future if I have funds, or they come out with a really cool special edition I may have to pull the credit card out and cry. I think it may be better to wait, see people’s reviews, watch videos, and wait for that special edition one that may tickle my fancy.

Wanted to try the iphone 16 pro max but the pictures weren’t as good as I thought they would be

When it was released, I received the iPhone 16 Pro Max for a review and didn’t review it at all. Everything was basically the same, with some minor changes, and wasn’t worth the time spent. Now I own it and I can say that my opinion shifted a little bit ,but the camera button is almost useless, the Apple Intelligence thing is like a beta to Gemini :)
