Apple is creating a charging cable that never frays
Spotted in a new patent
Late last year, Apple issued the most controversial decision of its year: removing the free charging adapters from its iPhone boxes. Despite the obvious budget-saving implications, Apple continues to push the notion that users already have spare charging adapters lying around anyway. According to a new patent, Apple is making sure that you also have spare, undamaged charging cables in your drawer. In the new patent, Apple is creating a charging cable that never frays.
If you’re an Apple user or know anyone who is, you’ve seen the sight before: an old, frayed cable that looks like it’s hanging by a literal thread. Many users keep the damaged cable because Apple’s licensed Lightning cables are pricey, compared to other cable types.
In Apple’s new patent, spotted by Apple Insider, the potential charging cable will use a different approach to preventing stress. Usually, strong charging cables use strain relief sleeves or that tough bit of plastic at both ends of a cable. A good sleeve prevents users from damaging their cables with repeated bending. Alternatively, Apple hopes to space out their sleeves across the entire cable, rather than just on either ends. Conceptually, the patent will create a cable that looks like a striped snake.
Ideally, such a cord should never fray under normal usage. But, since the patent is a patent, we don’t know if Apple will eventually build the charger. Still, if you don’t want to wait for Apple, you might want to try braided chargers instead.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT
Compatible with most keyboards and mice
Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.
Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.
Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.
Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.
While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.
The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.
The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
