CES 2026 Day 1 Recap: Functional Tech and AI Friends

CES 2026 Day 1 Recap: Functional Tech and AI Friends

2 Min Read


CES 2026 has officially kicked off. With more than 17,000 steps logged and three different convention centers that left me dizzy while searching for the top tech in Las Vegas, I present a summary of several tech products that have caught my attention thus far.

The exhibition area is vast, and there are certain items you can only discover if you know where to look. Take Satechi, for instance, which demonstrated its new Premium CubeDock: An impressive accessory that builds on the triumph of the M4 Mac mini stand and hub. It boasts a 180W smart power supply, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, USB-C/A 10Gbps ports, UHS-II, SD/microSD compatibility, and 2.5Gb Ethernet. And if you think that’s it, you’re mistaken, as it also includes an SSD slot for an extra 8TB of storage for your Mac or Windows PC.

In addition to Satechi, the iPhone accessory brand MOFT debuted new Find My-compatible MagSafe cases and accessories for iPhone. Building on the popularity of its snap-on devices, the company now provides MagSafe wallets and tripods with Find My functionality. The battery life extends to about six months, and the tripod now features a button for taking pictures from your iPhone.
