Logitech's new iPad case has a compact removable wireless keyboard

The Verge11-06-2025
Logitech has announced a new keyboard case for iPad Pro and iPad Air models that lets you remove and position its keyboard exactly where you need it. It's not an entirely new idea for the company — its Combo Touch case also lets you detach the keyboard — but the new Flip Folio's keyboard has a much smaller footprint, giving you more flexibility when it comes to where you can use it.
The Flip Folio is priced at $179.99 for a version compatible with 13-inch iPad Air and iPad Pro models, or $159.99 for a slightly smaller case that's compatible with the 11-inch versions of those tablets. Availability gets a little more complicated depending on what color you want. A graphite version will launch globally in June 2025, as will a black option, but only in North America. A pale grey and lilac version will debut later this year in September 2025 'in select regions,' alongside a sand option that will also be limited to North America.
Both the larger and smaller versions of the wireless keyboard are just over a quarter of an inch thick and weigh less than 207 grams. Each is designed to magnetically attach to the back of the Flip Folio case without adding too much thickness. It includes dedicated iPadOS shortcut keys and multi-device Bluetooth pairing so you can easily switch between using it with your tablet, smartphone, or even a computer.
Battery life is estimated to be up to two years, but that will depend on how frequently you're using the keyboard. When it dies, you'll need to replace its coin cell battery, because the keyboard doesn't feature a rechargeable battery or even a USB port for connecting it to a device with a cable. It's wireless all the way.
The Flip Folio case itself offers front and back protection for your iPad. Since it connects to the tablet magnetically, you can position the iPad in either landscape or portrait orientations when using it as a multi-angle support stand. With the iPad supported vertically, the Flip Folio has a bit of extra room for supporting a smartphone, too, letting you position them side by side and expand your multitasking.

Former Tesla president discloses the secret to scaling a company

Few companies have grown as quickly as Tesla, especially just before and after the company launched the Model 3, its first affordable EV. 'We scaled Tesla in 30 months from $2 billion in revenue to $20 billion in revenue,' Jon McNeil, the former president of Tesla who is now co-founder and CEO of DVx Ventures, told the crowd at TechCrunch's All Stage event in Boston. It wasn't McNeil's first time scaling companies, nor would it be his last. Previously, he founded six different companies, and after Tesla, he joined Lyft as COO before starting his own venture firm, where he's launched a dozen startups. Over the years, McNeil has developed a playbook that helps him identify when a company is ripe for scaling. He shared those insights last week with the audience at TechCrunch All Stage 2025. When assessing a company's potential to scale, McNeil primarily judges them on two different measures, product-market fit and go-to-market fit. It's not unusual for investors to focus on those concepts, but McNeil has distilled them into two objective measures. For product-market fit, he asks each startup, 'do 40% of your customers say they cannot live without your product,' he said. If not, then the company isn't ready. 'We keep adding, adding, adding and tweaking the product until we get to 40% and then we say, okay, boom, now we've got product market fit,' McNeil said. 'It's actually objective and measured. It's not a feeling, it's not a sense. It's a metric.'

San Francisco | REGISTER NOW McNeil added, 'We did a study of businesses that actually achieved breakout, and those businesses achieved breakout at roughly that 40% acceptance level.' Second, McNeil looks at whether the company has a mature go-to-market strategy. Specifically, he's interested in whether the amount a company spends to acquire customers, known as customer acquisition cost (CAC), is sufficiently below the total lifetime value (LTV) that the customer will bring the company. When a company starts pulling in four times more money over the life of the customer than it spent to acquire them — an LTV to CAC ratio of four-to-one — that's when he knows the company is ready. 'Then we pour in the cash. But before then, we're doling out cash $100,000 at a time just to get to different stage gates,' he said.

Grok, Stocks and JocksGrok, Stocks and Jocks

'Who will win the NCAA football championship in 2040?' I asked Grok, Elon Musk's artificial intelligence chatbot. After a long pause, it answered, 'Impossible to predict.' C'mon, where are your claimed reasoning skills? Meanwhile Mr. Musk's company, xAI, is reeling from Grok calling itself 'MechaHitler' and spewing hatred. The company blamed this on 'certain user prompts' that caused Grok 'functionality to reinforce any previously user-triggered leanings.' Hmmm. So it's users' fault? That's partially true.
