Costs begin at $325 for the carry-on version, $375 for the checked size, $395 for a larger checked version, or $995 for the entire family set. I’m planning on utilizing the carry-on model this weekend, and it simply paired with my iPhone. In each different respect, it’s a standard bag—it has your customary polycarbonate shell with a (I’ve to say) garish embossed July emblem on the facet; smooth-rolling wheels, bumpers, and leather-based finishes. There’s additionally an inset ejectable USB-C battery.
July’s CaseSafe makes it so you do not have to fuss with AirTags, however that also does not cease me from saying you’ll be able to improve your present carry-on equally with an AirTag and a power bank, and it will not value you wherever close to $300. —Adrienne So

The opposite new characteristic right here expands on the unique LiPlay’s capacity to file audio and connect it to a print through a QR code. Now it is not simply audio however an animated video with sound and music. The Fujifilm Instax Mini LiPlay+ will likely be accessible later this month for $235. —Scott Gilbertson
