ExoLens wants its lenses to be your go-to accessory for your iPhone 7

Best iPhone camera lenses
On Wednesday, ExoLens, which partners with Zeiss on phone accessory lenses, announced two new lines for the iPhone 7, which it hopes to bring its high-quality system to users ranging from professional to consumer.

Pro and Prime, which ExoLens is calling the two distinct lens accessory lines, will be aimed at different markets, with — you guessed it — the Pro line geared toward more professional users and the prime line aimed at more average phone users. “We are very excited to launch the high-performance ranges of Pro and Prime iPhone lenses,” said John Fellowes, Chief Executive Officer of Fellowes Brands, which acquired ExoLens in 2014. “The new product lines signify an expanded brand strategy for ExoLens, which will now reach mobile photographers of all levels.”

ExoLens said the first of its lenses to hit the market will be the Pro Wide-Angle and Telephoto kits for iPhone 7, both of which feature aspherical lens technology that you normally only see used in lenses developed for use on DSLR cameras. The Pro kits will also come with the ExoLens Edge Mount, made out of machined aluminum, for mounting the lenses to your iPhone 7.

The wide-angle Pro kit will be the first to market and will retail for around $199, followed by the Telephoto kit which will retail for around $249. For now, ExoLens has not said what the Prime lens line will look like, but the company is slated for a first-quarter 2017 launch.

I’ll be furious if the iPhone 15 Pro doesn’t get this one feature
A black iPhone 14 Pro lying on a table.

It’s peak summer season, but that also means we’re getting closer to Apple’s fall event in September. This is typically when we expect the next generation of iPhones and Apple Watches.

This year, we’re expecting the iPhone 15 lineup, which should include the standard iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. On top of that, it’s safe to say that we should also see the Apple Watch Series 9, but whether we’re getting a second-generation Apple Watch Ultra is still up in the air. And new AirPods? Who knows! Regardless, it will be exciting and jam-packed with a ton of new products.

This $600 Android phone has one big advantage over the iPhone

After nearly two years of wondering if it'll ever be sold officially in the U.S., the Fairphone 4 — a smartphone that hangs its hat on its repairable design — has finally launched in North America. With the evergrowing issue of e-waste, it's nice to see a company that's focused on following sustainable practices that allow users to fix their phones themselves instead of the all-too-common problem of having to throw out your iPhone and buy a new one when small issues occur.

Take note that the U.S. release of the Fairphone 4 is actually a variant called the Murena Fairphone 4, which differs from the base device with its Android-based operating system /e/OS.
