This iPhone case will tone your biceps while you fiddle on your iPhone

From a stethoscope to a stun gun, there’s no denying the increased quirkiness and arguable usefulness that these iPhone cases bring to the table. However, what if you wanted to buff up every time you picked up your iPhone for whatever reason? Enter the ToneFone.

Simply put, the ToneFone is a dumbbell. It is made from 100 percent British steel that feels nice thanks to the rubber coating. You can choose between a 1-kilogram (2.2 pounds) or a 1.5-kilogram (3.3 pounds) variant of the case for $38 or $42, respectively. Unfortunately, both options are only available in white. If you’re looking for more color options, gold and space grey versions should be available in June.

Speaking of availability, if you thought that no one would buy the ToneFone, you might want to rethink that. According to an update on ToneFone’s product page, the initial batch sold out. You can still, however, pre-order it and expect it to arrive at your doorstep sometime in April, though if you live in the U.S., you’ll have to fork over $11.50 more to cover shipping costs.

The ToneFone is fitted for the iPhone 5 and 5S and doesn’t obscure access to the charging port or headphone jack, though you would be unwise to use it with any iPhone stand.

Apple is killing its never-released iPhone subscription service

Over two years ago, it was reported that Apple was preparing to launch a hardware subscription service for the iPhone — to give people a way to pay a monthly fee to get a new iPhone every year. It wasn't a bad idea, especially with more and more companies moving toward subscription models.

However, it looks like that program is no longer happening. Fast-forward to December 2024, and Bloomberg is now reporting that the never-released iPhone subscription has been scrapped for good.

The iPhone 17 Pro may not have a redesigned camera after all
A close-up of the cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro.

If you've followed any of the previous iPhone 17 leaks, then you likely read that the camera is supposedly getting a redesign that makes it look more like a Pixel than an iPhone. The phone is still almost a year away, so many rumors are just hearsay with no confirmation at this point. Now, a new leak suggests that while the iPhone 17 Pro will see a change, the camera module will remain triangular.

According to tipster Setsuna Digital on Weibo, the camera won't undergo as drastic a redesign as previously believed. "My sources told me that the back has indeed changed, but the triple-camera layout is still a triangle, not the horizontal strip that is currently circulating online." The majority of leaks so far have been from different companies within the supply chain that manufacture different parts for the iPhone 17 Pro.
