Georgia Wray Norsten — June 8, 2025 — Tech
June 2025 gadget innovations reflect a blend of nostalgic craftsmanship and cutting-edge connectivity. From analog audio tributes to futuristic AR tech, this month’s top devices show how tradition and technology are being redefined for the modern consumer.
MoFi Electronics and Fender partnered to launch the American Vintage Turntable, a retro-modern tribute to American audio history. Featuring a hand-finished sunburst alder-wood plinth inspired by the iconic Fender Stratocaster, the turntable pairs vintage aesthetics with high-performance engineering, including a 10-inch precision tonearm. It’s a collectible piece that bridges music heritage and modern listening.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Meizu unveiled a breakthrough in smart shopping tech with AR glasses that support offline payments. Built into the 'StarV Air2,' this first-of-its-kind feature allows wearers to pay without a phone, using optical waveguides, voice capture, and camera-based scanning. Developed with Alipay+, the innovation hints at a future where glasses replace smartphones as everyday digital tools.
