This is one way you can listen to music while charging the iPhone 7

Much of the hullaballoo surrounding the new iPhone 7 is the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. For those who wanted a wired experience with the new iPhones, you’ll either need to use the supplied headphones from Apple or that adapter to plug in your preferred headset. But the caveat is you can’t listen to music while charging. Belkin has a solution with its new Lightning Audio and Charge Rockstar. The adapter comes with two Lightning ports so you can plug the charge in one port and the supplied adapter in the other. Yes, we can see the tangled mess it can become but at least here’s one solution. The adapter will retail for US$40 or around CA$50. Or you can just spring for the new AirPods or use/buy a Bluetooth headset.

Review: Belkin QODE "Thin Type" keyboard case for the iPad Air

The last time I reviewed a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad was the Logitech Ultra-thin keyboard case. It was, and is, a great option for those like me who are on the go constantly, and rely on the convenience of their iPad to get a lot of work done. Issue is, every time something good is released, chances are there is someone in the woodwork readying something that much better.

Such is the case with the QODE thin type keyboard from Belkin.

Taking cues from its competition and rectifying the subtle inconsistencies, I feel like Belkin worked as close as they could with Apple to make a product so good, it could (should) be considered OEM.

Let’s take a deeper look at why this keyboard is worth every penny of the investment.
