Popular accessory maker Twelve South has today announced the "SurfaceSnap" cable management solution.
SurfaceSnap features a genuine leather band, polished metal button snaps, and a strong semi-permanent adhesive to attach it to a surface. Twelve South assures that SurfaceSnap's adhesive can stick to almost any smooth surface and leaves no residue when removed, allowing it to be repositioned elsewhere.
SurfaceSnap is primarily designed to offer a slim, aesthetically-pleasing alternative to bulky cable managers that use weight to hold cables in place. The button snaps make it easy to add or remove cables, and Twelve South even suggests that the SurfaceSnap is ideal for travel.
Each pack includes two single-button cable managers and one double-winged cable manager. The Twelve South SurfaceSnap is now available online for $29.99 in Black or Dove Gray.

Nearly two weeks after the iPhone 17 series launched, analysts at investment banking firm Morgan Stanley said demand for the devices has been "modestly stronger than we originally expected," based on a combination of extended shipping estimates on Apple's online store and information it gathered from Apple's supply chain.
There has been strong early demand for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro,...

The MacBook Air is Apple's most popular laptop – a thin, fanless machine that wields quiet power thanks to the efficiency of Apple silicon. While the M4 model isn't exactly old, attention is already turning to its successor.
Apple doesn't telegraph new product launches ahead of time, but we can draw a surprisingly clear picture of what to expect by looking at Apple's silicon roadmap,...

Apple's two big yearly events, WWDC and the iPhone launch, are done and over with, but there are still some new products that we're expecting to see before the end of the year.
Apple TV
The Apple TV hasn't been updated since 2022, so it's due for a refresh. It doesn't look like Apple is going to change the design of its set-top box, but we can expect a faster chip

Or a 2 cent piece of tape? Or get fancy with a strip of Velcro with adhesive on the back side? What's with all these grossly overpriced accessories for Apple products???
THIRTY DOLLARS? For something that sits behind your desk/nightstand/counter, etc? Just buy some cheapo cable clips from Bezos' outfit and put them on. I usually love twelve south stuff. But this is outrageous.
Not sure what you plebs are going on about (jk). This obvious is not in most people's budget, but Twelve South does do the lower-end, Amazon-listed stuff. These look nice and are unobtrusive. Plenty of people will love them.
Budget has nothing to do with it. Every single person here can afford a 25 dollar product. It’s just silly as hell
