Podcast season finale + win a robovac

Tech Things #29

Sep 03, 2024

The day is finally here. The last episode of the pilot season of the Recharged in 30 podcast is out and includes a robovac giveaway, sponsored by Naked.Insure. Samina and I chat air fryers and robot vacuums, two of the most common smart home gadgets packed with the best technology to be more efficient around the home. It covers the practicality of owning these tech toys, useful features, and as always, brands we can vouch for.

Thanks to Naked, we will be giving away the Xiaomi X10+ robot vacuum with docking station, worth R18 000. From my Xiaomi X10+ review: “The X10+ has automatic self-cleaning, self-emptying, pad washing, dust collection, hot air drying, and water refilling. It does all of this on its own, without you having to poke around.” Click on the competition link below to enter.

I recently published my first impressions post after getting an exclusive first drive of not-yet-released Toyota bZ4X electric car. The “bZ” stands for Toyota’s Beyond Zero EV brand. If you want to see some pictures and read more about what that was like, check out my post from its annual Women in Auto event.

If you’re in the market for a smartphone, my Honor 200 Pro review is out with sample shots from the portrait camera and regular camera. It ticks all the boxes when it comes to what’s under the hood, but is this smartphone camera the one?

Speaking of phones, I cannot wait for the new iPhone 16 unveiling that will take place on 9 September. We’re expecting Apple Intelligence (also coming to the iPhone 15 Pro line), bigger screens for the Pros and a different camera layout for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. And of course, chatGPT baked into Siri on a future iOS18 update. What are you most excited for? Or are you sticking to your current phone?
