Review: Adonit Note-UVC Stylus

I love when a product I've reviewed gets better. Case in point, the Adonit Note. I recently reviewed it, and I won't cover all of the details because much of those observations remain. Instead, I'll focus on what's new or different with the Adonit Note-UVC ($69.99) that Adonit sent me to try. Related: Review: The Logitech Crayon vs the Apple Pencil First, the company has indeed taken away some features. The UVC version is only sold in black with gold accents instead of gold with black accents. Second, Adonit took away the pen clip that I have appreciated as it keeps the stylus in place, but there is a valid reason for removing the clip. In its place, the stylus now has an actual UV light to disinfect surfaces! Lately, everyone is very conscientious about sanitizing their phones, tablets, and other surfaces—as they should be. While you could find, buy, and carry a dedicated device to do just that, the Adonit Note - UVC adds that function for just $20 more and it doesn't take any extra space in your gadget bag. With one device to charge, you get a nice stylus and a UV sanitizer. Charging is done via a micro-USB port at the back of the stylus. A nice benefit of this is you can charge it while you use it. The UV sanitizer draws a lot of power ,so it only lasts for thirty minutes (thirty one-minute sessions is suggested) so this is not meant as something to sanitize a doctor's office. But it should be fine for your office or home work space. Another nice feature is a built-in gyroscope that senses when the UV light is facing up and turns it off to protect your eyes. Pros * Nice stylus for half the price of Apple Pencil * Replaceable tip * Easy to charge even while in use * Palm rejection * Adds UV light with auto sensing for safety Cons * UV light lasts for thirty minutes * Foregoes clip to make room for UV light * Uses micro-USB not USB-C or Lightning Final Verdict The Adonit Note - UVC is a nice, healthy upgrade that is still priced less than an Apple Pencil.

Review: Plankster from Stealth Body Fitness

It is easy to dismiss the Plankster ($99) from Stealth Body Fitness as a child's toy if you don't pay attention. Given the sub-$100 price tag, you might think it is something you could get for the kids to keep them busy. But Stealth sent me a review unit to try and let me tell you, it's a serious piece of fitness equipment despite the fact that it costs less than the sales tax on a Peloton! Plus it exercises multiple muscle groups. And it does so in a fun, entertaining manner, with no membership fees required! So what is the Plankster? It is a durable cushioned platform that rests on a 360-degree rotating sphere. You place your forearms on the sides, where the padding is, and place your phone (Apple or Android) toward the top in a receptacle that accommodates just about any phone, even in a rugged case. Using their app you can select from a variety of surprisingly fun and well-designed games that respond to the phone's built-in gyroscope. That means when you move your body and the Plankster, you control the on-screen character or cursor. It seems simple but it can be quite challenging to try to get a good score. You could play the games without the Plankster just for fun, but it gets tougher when you have to move your whole body to control the game. It is a lot like hang gliding (which is actually one of the free games) but instead of gliding and letting the wind do the work, your body is getting a workout. The $99 model is well-built with comfortable padding, but if you spend $50 more, you get a wider planking platform with cushioning throughout the platform and a one year warranty. Beginners can operate the Plankster with their knees bent, on the ground, and then advance to toes only when they get stronger. Stealth is an appropriate name; it's quite a clever and almost deceptive way to get anyone to work out just by playing a game with their body as the controller. My only wish would be some form of voice activation so I could switch between games or restart without having to use my hands. The free games were fine for me, but they do offer premium games for a subscription of $24.99/year. Pros * High-quality, interactive games for iOS and Android * Exercises multiple muscle groups * Well-built, comfortable padding * Surprisingly quick to learn * 360-degree movement Cons * Voice activation might help with in-use app control * Premium games by subscription only Final Verdict The Plankster from Stealth Body Fitness is a great way to get started with fitness while playing fun games!

Review: Elgato Wave:3 Microphone

As entertainment and mass communication redefine themselves in the age of social distancing, the tools to create your own professional-level content have never been more affordable. Anyone who has decided to finally start that podcast or livestream will be faced with a bewildering number of choices. Setting up a mixing board with high-end mics and cameras like those of successful professional podcasters and streamers will cost thousands of dollars. Until your podcast or stream attracts the same listeners and viewers as those top tier shows, it's hard to justify the initial cost to match those studios. At the same time, if your audio sounds like it was recorded on a cheap USB headset mic, listeners won't tolerate your content for very long. Elgato, a company that has reinvented itself as a digital broadcast equipment company, has, in my opinion, created one of the best microphones for aspiring podcasters and streamers without costing a fortune. Read on to discover why I'm giving Elgato's Wave:3 Microphone ($159.99) premium microphone and digital mixing solution a five star rating. Related: Review: Podcast-friendly Fokus Headphones from ONANOFF The Wave:3's level of quality and elegant engineering is apparent the moment you lift it out of the box. The weight of the base and solid, compact construction of the microphone itself remind you that this is not a toy. From the front push-button knob and white LED indicators, to the smooth metal speaker grill and angle bracket side mounting screws, the design is professional and sleek. To further emphasize the professional aspirations Elgato has for the Wave microphone series, the company also provides a Shock Mount and a custom-fitted Wave Pop Filter. Adding both of these pro-level accessories is as simple as mounting them into the Wave:3's removable base, attaching the accessory and tightening them back down with the base screws. Installing the shock mount took me less than two minutes.  Included in the box is a 5/8 to 3/8–1/4 inch screw that can be used to attach the Wave:3's mic bracket to a standard microphone stand or desk boom arm. This will help eliminate any noises made by accidental desk bumps or during recording, and also help place the Wave:3's large internal cardioid condenser microphone closer to your mouth.  As for the external pop filter, it was unavailable by the time I submitted my review, but it's not very necessary since the Wave:3 has a built-in pop filter built into the mic that dissipates all but the most explosive popping. It's really only needed for those who prefer to have the mic practically touching their lips and speak with loads of enthusiasm and volume. It also perfectly contours the mic, unlike the generic pop filters that partly cover the faces of many Twitch streamers. Even with the addition of these accessories and separate boom arm or microphone stand, the cost to set up Elgato's professional-grade audio recording configuration is several hundred dollars less than a pro studio broadcaster or musician equivalent. The Wave:3 mic connects to your Mac or PC via a USB-C to standard USB cable. Next to the USB-C port on the back of the mic is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack that can be used to monitor audio from your computer as well as mixing in the mic itself. This is done via Elgato's free mixing software utility, Wave Link. Remarkably, all these functions can be accessed directly on the mic itself via the push-button dial on the front of the Wave:3. It does take some practice to get used to the meaning of the white LED indicators as you cycle through the customized options. In addition to mixing up to nine separate audio sources on your computer, the Wave Link software can also remotely control the audio settings on the Wave:3 mic, from gain to muting. Rather than fiddle with the mic control, I simply defaulted to using the Wave Link app to help dial in the optimal recording and mix settings. Wave Link can also interface with various streaming solutions such as the very popular and free Open Broadcast Software (OBS). After getting everything assembled and setting up a recording software such as the free, open source Audacity program, the 24-bit / 96kHz analog-to-digital conversion of the mic's built-in circuitry is so clear and crisp that I found it sounds better than most podcasts I listen to. That same circuitry includes Elgato's proprietary Clipguard technology to prevent overmodulating and audio clipping of loud input. It also has a Low Cut Filter to minimize low-frequency background noise. Pros * Fantastic audio recording quality * Solid construction * Easy setup * Competitively priced Cons * Configuring mix settings takes practice to master I have used the mic in several scenarios, from recording live streams and interviews to web meetings and podcast segments, and each time was amazed at how clear my audio sounded. My listeners also commented how impressed they were with the audio quality, even when I spoke so quietly that the recording meters barely perceived any input. I haven't been this impressed with a piece of audio recording hardware since I received my first recordable cassette player in the early '70s. If you want to sound like a pro without spending the money the pros spend, the Elgato Wave:3 mic should be your first and most important device to include in your audio recording rig.

Review: The Databloc Hacker-Safe USB Adapter from Eyebloc

It might seem counterintuitive, but you should consider adding something to your travel kit that stops certain device functions. Specifically, the Databloc ($17.95) that Eyebloc sent me to try. The concept of the device is simple: it's a USB adapter that you add to the USB cable you normally travel with. The other end of the cable is either USB-A or USB-C depending on what you order. So what does this do, other than add an inch to your cable and convert a USB-A to USB-C if needed? It removes the data transfer functionality. Put simply, it's like a firewall that you don't even have to think about. Free charging stations are great, but there's a chance they could be corrupted with malware by individuals with bad intentions. You might not think twice about tapping the "Trust this computer" warning that pops up the first time you plug in your iPhone to a new computer, especially if you think you are only plugging in to a power source at an airport or coffee shop. But this is a security risk. Databloc avoids this altogether by turning your data transfer cable into a power-only cable. And when you want to plug in to a trusted computer, you just remove the Databloc from the USB-A end. It's simple and powerful. The Databloc is sold in packs of two, 20, or 100 and in white or black. Personally, I would like to see a distinguishing color like red, yellow, or orange so I could easily find it and know my data is protected when it's in use. It might also be nice if they had a rubber clip or mechanism to attach it to a regular cable, similar to some cables that come with USB-C, Lightning, and microUSB tips, so it doesn't get lost when not in use. Pros * Compact solution, ideal for travel * USB-A to USB-A and USB-A to USB-C options * Sold in white or black * Reasonably priced * Smart option for security Cons * Would like to see a distinguishing color like red, yellow, or orange * Clamp to attach to regular cable might help * USB-C adapter is not USB-C to USB-C, so be sure to bring and use a USB-A cable Final Verdict If you are looking peace of mind, the Databloc from Eyebloc is a smart and secure add-on for your gadget bag.

How to Add Captions to iPhone Photos in iOS 14

Did you know that iOS 14 comes with a built-in feature that allows you to add captions to photos on your iPhone? Users no longer have to seek an extra app to add captions, and any captions added in the iPhone library will sync to the cloud if iCloud Photo Library is enabled. This means captions created on your iPhone will be visible on all of your devices that have access to the iCloud. I’ll freely admit I’ve been waiting for this update for ages; this will make searching iPhone photos using Siri and the photo search bar much simpler and more accurate. Here’s how to add captions to iPhone photos. Related: How to Use the Cloud to Upload Photos & Optimize iPhone Storage How to Add a Caption to an iPhone Photo in iOS 14 Captions are handy for searching your iPhone photo library and for reminding you of certain details when you come across the photo later. For these reasons, it’s best to keep the captions simple but useful—I recommend including notes about a holiday or occasion if applicable, and any other keywords you may think of later when wanting to search for that photo. If you’d like to learn more about the Photos app and using other new features in iOS 14, check out our free Tip of the Day newsletter. Here’s how to caption pictures on the iPhone: * Open the Photos app. * Tap on a photo you’d like to add a caption to.   * When the photo opens, swipe up on the photo to reveal the Add a Caption area. * Tap on Add a Caption.   * Type in your caption using the keyboard that appears. * When you’re done adding a caption, tap Done to save it. And that’s it! For a feature many of us have been waiting so long for, it couldn’t be much simpler. I especially love being able to access these captioned images across my devices.

How to Fix No AirPrint Printers Found Error on the iPhone & iPad

AirPrint is one of the coolest Apple features, in my opinion. I no longer have to save and send something to print it, I can just print directly from my Apple device! Unfortunately, the appeal of this feature that means it really bugs me when I can't get AirPrint to work on my iPhone, iPad, or other compatible devices. Fortunately this problem is most commonly caused by something that can be easily fixed. Here's a step-by-step guide to fixing the "no AirPrint printers found" error. Related: How to Use AirPrint to Print from Your iPhone or iPad What's in This Article * Quick Fixes to Try First to Fix AirPrint Errors * Connections & AirPrint Compatibility * Other Things to Try Quick Fixes to Try First to Fix AirPrint Errors There are a few things you can try that may fix your AirPrint issue in a matter of moments.  Check the Settings on Your Apple Device * Airplane Mode should be turned off, and Wi-Fi must be turned on (you can do either of these in Settings or in your Control Center). Unfortunately, AirPrint is not currently supported on cellular data.   * You may also want to check that your Apple software is up to date; often software updates come with fixes for known issues, and this may be one of them!  * Finally, try turning off Bluetooth on your iPhone or iPad, and then switching it back on. Now retry printing. Sometimes this fixes the issue right away. Check the Settings on Your Printer * Check your printer for errors. Are you seeing any issues? Look for things like no paper, low ink, network errors, paper jam, or other flashing lights. Make sure you consult your printer's user manual or online guide from the manufacturer in order to fix anything more complicated or that you're unsure about. * Next, many people don't realize that their printer does not support AirPrint. It's a good idea to use Apple's guide to AirPrint to check that your printer is compatible with this feature. If it is and you're still experiencing issues, continue on to the steps below! Connections & AirPrint Compatibility If you still can't get AirPrint to work on your iPhone or iPad, you're likely experiencing an issue related to network or device connectivity. Don't worry, this is easier than it sounds and still a pretty quick fix. Take a look at the best ways to check why your iPhone or iPad won't connect with your printer to AirPrint. Check Connections on Your Apple Device * Let's start by checking your Wi-Fi connection. * First, open Settings on your device, then tap on Wi-Fi. If the setting is turned on, make sure it's connected and on your regular private network. You'll need to know the specific name of your network later when we check your printer settings, so if you have several networks available, make sure you take note of the one your iPhone or iPad is connected to. Please note that AirPrint doesn't work on public Wi-Fi networks; it only operates on private networks because it requires security protection to be in place. Check Connections on Your Printer * This step will vary based on which printer you have. If you haven't checked already, make sure you refer to Apple's AirPrint guide to verify that your printer is AirPrint compatible. * Next, check your printer's Wi-Fi connection, and ensure that your printer and your iPhone or iPad are connected to the same wireless network. This is a common issue, so don't skip this step! Other Ways to Fix Connections * Believe it or not, you may simply need to move your wireless router or modem closer to your printer. You can also try moving your Apple device closer to the printer to get your iPhone or iPad to recognize your printer. * Here's one that's a little more advanced: AirPrint won't work on your iPhone or iPad if the Apple device is connected to the printer's wireless network instead of to your primary Wi-Fi network. You can check this just by referring back to Settings in the Wi-Fi section.   * You should see that the device is connected to your primary wireless network. If not, disconnect from any others and reconnect manually to your preferred network. At this point, it's worth it to go back and double check that your printer is on the same network, as well. Other Things to Try Well if you're here it means you likely have a more advanced issue, but we still have more tricks to get your iPhone or iPad to find your printer! When in Doubt, Power Cycle * For some reason (actually several more complex reasons that we don't need to get into here), turning off your machines and devices and then turning them back on often helps if you're really stuck. * Pro tip: when you turn off a malfunctioning device, always make sure it's off and/or unplugged for a minimum of 30 seconds prior to turning it back on. I usually recommend unplugging devices for this period, just to be sure you haven't accidentally activated some kind of standby mode. Shut Down Competing Devices * Sometimes other devices can cut in on this little AirPrint dance between your printer and your iPhone or iPad and cause an error. If you have a computer or another device connected by Ethernet cable, especially, you should try turning it off and leaving it off until you're done printing. If this works, you may need to reconfigure your setup for other times when you need to AirPrint, or at least remember to turn off the other device next time. Still stuck? I recommend contacting your printer's support center or Apple Support in order to move forward. Sometimes the fix is obscure, but they'll likely have the answer if it wasn't fixed by something we tried.

Review: Wireless ANC In-Ear Headphones from Audio-Technica

There are more earbud options than the AirPod variations from Apple. In fact, I saw the Audio-Technica ATH-ANC300TW ($229) at the last CES and I was able to try a review unit. I found it has several advantages over Apple. First, they do not have Qi charging, but instead use a USB-C port to charge, so if you are an Android user or want to use these with your MacBook or newer iPad Pro, all of which use USB-C, you can now standardize on one cable. Related: Review: Jabra Elite 75t Wireless Earbuds Beyond the cables, the ATH-ANC300TW comes with four different ear tip sizes plus Comfort Tip foam adapters, so if you didn't find the Apple AirPods comfortable, you should be able to make the Audio-Technica earbuds fit well. They are also gray and don't have the microphone "stalk" as noticeable as with Apple AirPods, so if you don't want to look like an Apple follower, these are a nice option. But the most important thing for earbuds is sound. Apple's AirPods are hard to beat but these do a good job. The company have a free companion app that lets you customize the sound, including three levels of noise cancellation with "hear-through" functionality, so can hear traffic, family members, or the doorbell when listening to something on through your earbuds. Their battery life is reasonable, with 4.5 hours for the earbuds on a full charge and 13.5 more hours via the compact charging case. Like Apple, the app can help you enable voice prompts and locate your earbuds should you misplace them, or at least see the last place they were when you disconnected via Bluetooth. Pros * IPX2 water resistant against rain and sweat * 3 Noise Cancellation Modes with "hear-through" functionality * 4.5 hours of battery life on a full charge and 13.5 more via charging case * Numerous tips for a good fit * On-ear controls Cons * Charging case uses USB-C not Lightning or Qi * Only one color, gray Final Verdict The ATH-ANC300TW from Audio-Technica could be a better fit than Apple, thanks to how well they fit and their use of USB-C, the new standard.

Review: Power Bar Wireless Charging Bank by Eggtronic

Eggtronic always makes stylish devices and the Power Bar ($149.99) the company sent me to try is no exception. The Power Bar is a 10,000 mAh battery pack in a rounded rectangular brick with a glossy white exterior that looks a lot like an early iPod or the actual packaging that enclosed my original Apple Watch. Aside from the glossy white surface, the only markings are the Eggtronic logo and two "Qi" logos to indicate the two fast charging 7.5-watt wireless pads that are a highlight of this device. These can be used for iPhones, Android phones, or AirPods that support Qi. Like most portable Qi chargers, you have to push a button to activate it, otherwise it would be drawing a small amount of power all the time, eventually running out. Related: Review: Griffin's Best Portable Chargers for iPhone At one end, there is an Apple Watch 5-watt charging pad built in to the Power Bar. You can place your Apple Watch on the pad and it will start charging, but a neat option is the ability to raise the pad about half an inch to support your watch. You might need to use a finger nail or credit card to lift the riser. Unfortunately, if you use a loop-style band, you have to wrap your watch around the Power Bar, which could make it a little unstable. It's not a deal-breaker, but an inclining or rotating pad might have been a nice option, and it would support Nightstand Mode. Additionally, there is a USB-C port which puts out 30 watts via Power Delivery. That same port is used to charge the device itself, and the company includes both a well-made USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to Lightning cable. You will need to provide your own USB-C to A/C adapter, but you probably have one of those if you're looking for a USB-C battery pack. The cables can be used to charge an iPad, iPad Pro, or MacBook. Just keep in mind that 30 watts will slow charge a laptop and might not provide enough power to charge while the computer is being used. Pros * Elegant Apple-like styling * 10,000 mAh of power * Apple Watch charging pad that can rise in height * Two fast charging Qi pads * USB-C port for 30-watt Power Delivery * Includes well-made USB-C to Lightning and USB-C to USB-C cables Cons * Apple Watch charging pad rises but doesn't rotate, so best for watch bands that lay flat versus loop bands * USB-C to A/C adapter sold separately * Qi pads are a little close together so two large/wide phones might not fit Final Verdict The Power Bar from Eggtronic is an elegant companion for travelers with multiple Qi devices such as an Apple Watch and more.

Review: AxisGo Waterproof iPhone Housing by AquaTech

Apple claims its newer iPhones are waterproof, and they can indeed support being splashed or sometimes even submerged in water, but my daughter found out the hard way when her iPhone suffered water damage that you cannot use them underwater as if they were a purpose-built waterproof camera. If you truly want to take photos and videos underwater on your iPhone, you have to check out the AxisGo (starting at $149) waterproof iPhone housing case from AquaTech. The company sent me a review unit to try and I cannot convey how well-built and rugged these things are. Review: Catalyst Protective & Waterproof Cases for iPhone 11 & 11 Pro The AxisGo is a clamshell case with a rubber gasket that snugly and securely clamps down around your iPhone to create a waterproof barrier. This encasement not only protects the phone, but offers opportunities for assorted lens attachments such as Ultra-Wide Angle if you get their DSLR-style screw-on adapter. Replaceable rubber guides keep your iPhone in place and offer shock absorption. The power and volume up and down buttons are accessible via well-thought-out button extensions that allow full control while your iPhone is safely enclosed in the case. Since videography and photography are the main attractions, this means you can use the volume up button as a shutter. The AxisGo also includes a durable touchscreen cover which allows use of the screen underwater.  The case certainly adds some bulk but AquaTech makes it easier to hold with either an optional GoPro mount adapter or the optional pistol grip attachment. The grip needs to be screwed in using the provided tool, so it's not something you'll pop on and off, but it does have a mechanical trigger that presses the volume button for you. This helps stabilize the phone so you can get the perfect shot while snorkeling. If you're thinking about scuba diving, the product doesn't support depths greater than 3 feet when used with a phone. In fact, AquaTech recommends testing it a few times in 1 foot of water, for 30 seconds, before you place your expensive iPhone in the case. The case ships with a lanyard, which can help keep it secure (it is not designed to float) if you don't have the optional grip. I love the surf-inspired color choices the company offesr; depending on the iPhone model, the AxisGo is available in seafoam green, electric blue, sunset orange, tactical green, as well as seashell white and black. Just make sure you get the right model for your iPhone. Pros * Robust, secure waterproof housing * Optional pistol grip * Optional lenses * Assorted colors * Extremely well-built Cons * Need to order the housing specific to your iPhone model * Doesn't support depths greater than 3 feet Final Verdict If you intend to do underwater videography and photography, at least up to 3 feet, the AxisGo from AquaTech will protect your iPhone and allow you to get some great shots with optional lenses.

New iPhone SE Review: An Ode to the Smallest iPhone

Way back in 1992, DC Comics shocked the world by killing off iconic superhero Superman in an all-out battle against the super villain Doomsday. While people mourned the loss of the Man of Steel, he later would return, reincarnated, even mightier than ever. This story came to my mind earlier this year in April, when Apple declared dead the original 4-inch iPhone SE and announced its rebirth in a form with a significantly bigger screen size than before. While many rejoiced at the 2020 release of the second-generation iPhone SE, it was a doomsday of sorts for fans who prefer small Apple smartphones. Apple touts the new 2020 iPhone SE as having a compact design, and it does when compared to the rest of its lineup. The special edition iPhone has the body of the phone from three years prior—the iPhone 8—and internal components of last year’s iPhone 11 with the A13 Bionic chip. While still relatively small, the new iPhone SE has strayed away from the original 2016 design, growing diagonally in screen size by 0.7 inches, which is nothing to sneeze at! I’ll never forget when the tech giant announced the original iPhone SE in 2016. I was excited when rumors of a mini Apple smartphone turned out to be true. A powerful new iPhone model with a 4-inch display? Sign me up, please! The SE was a welcome addition to Apple’s lineup. The flagship models at the time were the 4.7-inch iPhone 6s and 5.5-inch 6s Plus. As the owner of an iPhone 5, which had a 4-inch display, I finally found my upgrade path forward with the original iPhone SE, which had the internal components of the larger iPhone 6s crammed inside a smaller form. The tech giant announced the second-generation iPhone SE via a press release on its website in April, providing a long-awaited answer to those of us who had been hanging on rumors of a successor. In the announcement, Apple marketing executive Phil Schiller hit the nail on the head when he said the original iPhone SE was a hit because of its “unique combination of small size, high-end performance, and affordable price.” The irony is that the 4-inch form factor is what made it perfect for one-handed use. After four years of holding on to my original iPhone SE, I jumped at the chance to upgrade when Apple announced its successor. But to my disappointment, the wider and heavier 2020 iteration is harder to navigate with one hand, even though it’s improved in every other way. I’ve preferred to operate my phone one-handed ever since I lost my eyesight in 2013. While the increase in size by 0.34 inches in width seems nominal, navigating with VoiceOver, a screen reader built into iOS for the blind and those with low vision, is now more difficult to perform. I find myself cradling my new phone in the left hand for support while also holding it in my right hand as I swipe with my thumb. It’s also too big to comfortably wear holstered to a belt. I’m a guy who likes small tech gadgets—I own an 11-inch MacBook Air, the new iPhone SE, and an iPad Mini, and my first MP3 player was an iPod Mini. But the fact of the matter is that, sadly, the 4-inch form factor isn’t going to make a comeback. While it’s hard to accept for those of us who have been holding our breath (and onto our older devices) for a new SE with the design of the original, it’s highly implausible that the tech giant will revert to a now eight-year-old design. Apple tends to move forward and not look back, so you either go along for the ride or hang on to an obsolete device. The new iPhone SE is hands down the best bet for fans of small smartphones. While its compact design is larger than its predecessor, it’s considerably more compact than the next-smallest option of the 5.8-inch iPhone 11 Pro. In a sea awash with phablets (the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a gargantuan 6.5-inch display), the small phone from days gone by has been put out to pasture. For the die-hard minority that loves smaller screens, the only choice is the 2020 iteration of the iPhone SE.
