I will be reviewing products I have been testing or using in my daily life. There will be included links for all the products most of which will be affiliate links that will help support further testing and reviewing more products . I will be posting some items for sale after testing and This will include tech, edc, outdoor equipment, tools or general household items. Feel free to reach out if there is something you would like to see in the future. For my first recommendations we will start out with iPhone 17 pro and pro max accessories. If you are still in the position of whether or not to upgrade thats really a personal decision on if you should pull the trigger or not. If you use the phone in any real creative capacity I believe if you have 14 or older the upgrade is most certainly worth it. It's not just the improved cameras but also the faster charging and the switch over to usb-c opens up the capability for external storage for recording larger files. 

Charging 

Since phones usually don't come with charging blocks anymore and normally you can continue using your previous block this is not a necessity unless you want to take advantage of the new 40 watt fast charging capabilities of the new phones.
