TOP GUN: MAVERICK
The Cruiser returns to the
cockpit for another sortie,
a somewhat incredible 34
\HDUVDIWHUWKHĆUVWĆOPDQG
naturally doesn’t look any
older. By now Maverick is an
experienced test pilot and
trainer, and Miles Teller’s
son-of-Goose character
is part of his class. Cue
airborne shenanigans and
incredible machinery shots
- this can be our number 96
on the Hot 100 any time.

LAY-Z-SPA MILAN
AIRJET PLUS
Lay-Z-Spa’s thing is making
hot tubs affordable – its
LQćDWDEOHWXEVFDQJR
anywhere, and then fold
DZD\7KLVLVLWVĆUVWDSS
connected tub, meaning
you can check whether it’s
up to temperature without
going outside, or can set a
schedule for it to heat to
right from the app.

SMART PARCEL STORAGE
Staying in waiting for deliveries is so last
decade. The new hotness: getting your parcels
delivered securely and discreetly – you could
opt for something like the Danby Parcel Guard,
but that’s pretty obvious. How about, instead,
the Yale Smart Delivery Box (pictured)? It’s an
insulated and remotely lockable container that
even has a lit-up release button on the inside
should a kid climb in.97
HOME ELEVATORS
When mobility becomes
an issue, some people can
effectively lose access to

FILMIC DOUBLETAKE
Modern iPhones are, it’s
fair to say, not short on
cameras. But why choose
between wide, ultrawide,
VHOĆHRUWHOHSKRWR":LWK
DoubleTake, you can capture
1080p streams from a pair
of those lenses at once,
giving you all the creative
options you need to edit
later on – or you can make
split screen or PiP videos
right there on your phone.

MANTA 5
The Manta 5 is a hydrofoil ebike, equipped with
pedal assist, a 12mph top speed, and some of the
same technology used in high-end sailboats. Go
cycling, but on water. Practical? Psh, not a bit of
it, unless you happen to live on a private island
and need a way to commute to the shops for a
bag of sugar. Fun? That’s more like it.

THE DEATH OF
THE PASSWORD
Microsoft and Apple are
determined to kill the
password, and for good
reason: passwords are, it
turns out, pretty insecure.
Biometric security, the
OLNHVRIĆQJHUSULQWDQGIDFH
scanners, are going some
way to plugging the gap, but
it’s device-based security
that’s likely to become the
norm moving forward.10 0
SOLAR ORBITER
Talk about hot... Get ready
to learn a whole lot more
about our sun, as the
European Space Agency’s
instrument-packed orbiter
is set to take a peek at its
poles and learn more about
the way that big ball of gas
operates. Interesting, but
