Lepro TB2 Smart LED Table Light Review
The Lepro TB2 Smart LED Table Light is an AI-powered, app-controlled smart light designed to add a beautiful accent to your room. Equipped with RGB+IC LEDs, a host of customizable features and voice control, the TB2 offers a unique and visually striking customizable lamp for your office desk or studio setting. Part of Lepro's AI Smart LED Table Lamp collection, the TB2 is a fun addition—or a perfect starting point—for your lighting setup.
Inspired by the treble clef, the TB2 delivers a fresh take on the traditional table lamp. With 152 RGB+IC LEDs built in, users have the freedom to manage and address each light segment individually. This level of control is made possible by individual control chips installed in each LED, which communicate directly with the Lepro app—available for both Apple and Android devices.
As for the light's brightness, while I couldn't find a lumin count on the official website, the lamp is ideal as an accent piece in the room. While I wouldn't read a book beside it and expect a superior lighting experience, the colours from the LEDS are vibrant and beautiful. It serves best as a supplementary lighting element as part of a larger lighting setup.
Assembling the TB2 is a simple affair and comes in two pieces: a base plate that also acts as part of the light strip and the light strip proper. After removing each piece from the box, simply slotting the top piece into the base via a connection port completes the assembly. Once constructed, the TB2 stands 15.7' high with a width of 7.4' at its widest point. The included power adaptor plugs into the base of the unit and provides almost 6' of cable to allow for ideal positioning.
My one small critique of the design is the power port location on the TB2. While I can understand the inherent challenges of port placement on a lamp that is fashioned after a Treble Clef, the port is located on what is essentially the front of the unit. This means that at all times, the power cable is visible while on display. Not a major issue, but it does feel a bit out of place with the rest of the design.
Despite this small critique, I'm impressed with the overall build quality and design of the TB2. It feels sturdy to handle, and the light strip is much more rigid and durable than I initially assumed it would be. Having worked with several smart lights over the years, I expected Lepro to opt for a silicone shroud, which is typically soft. Instead, Lepro has constructed the housing out of aluminum and the shroud out of PVC, resulting in a much more robust and sturdy construction.
Once the unit is assembled, connecting the TB2 to the Lepro app is exceptionally easy. When the light is turned on, it will automatically switch to pairing mode, indicated by a slow blue flash. Upon opening the Lepro app on your device, the TB2 will automatically appear as a device that can be added. The setup process takes less than a minute, and once complete, gives you full control of the light.
With the TB2 set up on your network and paired to your phone, you're greeted with a host of fun, customizable features to explore. The most unique—and one I'm starting to see more often with smart lighting—is the AI Lighting Assistant, which includes two modes. In the first mode, you can describe a scene or emotion, and the AI Lighting Assistant will generate several lighting patterns to choose from based on your description. The second mode allows you to upload or take a selfie, which the AI uses to create suggestion prompts. While both feel a bit basic in their lighting suggestions, the concept is interesting and one that will no doubt evolve further.
The TB2 also comes with a DIY mode that allows you to address clusters of the LEDs along the strip to create custom designs. Simply select the colour and effect you want—six effects in total—and click the clusters you'd like to apply it to. It's a fairly straightforward process and works well.
One small note: while all 152 LEDs are addressable, they are grouped into clusters when using DIY mode. Addressing all 152 LEDs individually would be a nightmare, honestly. It's also worth noting that the TB2 is dimmable, allowing you to set the exact light level you prefer, no matter the setting.
Music sync is also available through the Lepro app. It includes several preset lighting effects, along with the option to sync audio via the TB2's built-in microphone or your phone's internal mic. Both worked well in testing, and when paired with sensitivity and brightness sliders, they provide a decently customizable experience.
Two other features I appreciated during testing were the smart home integration and the wake-up and sleep functionality. The former allows for easy setup within your existing Alexa or Google Home ecosystem. Connecting to Google Home took less than a minute via the Home app. As this is the second Lepro light I've reviewed this year, it was automatically recognized in Google Home once paired with the Lepro app. Full voice and remote control are available with the TB2, making it ideal for the geek in the room who likes to say, 'Hey Google, turn on the Batcave'—hypothetically speaking, of course.
The wake-up and sleep function works exactly as you would expect. At a preset time, the light will power up or down gradually over a preselected amount of time. I've found it ideal for early morning wake-up, as I typically like to be up before the sun anyway. This feature simply allows for a gentle wake-up while the coffee is still brewing.
The Lepro TB2 Smart LED Table Lamp is a solid piece of tech that is priced fairly at $69.99. It offers all of the features and specs I would expect from a Smart Lamp in a unique and beautiful form factor. It's also much more durable than I would have expected. Overall, I'm impressed with Lepro's TB2 Smart LED Table Lamp and would recommend it as an accent piece in your office or studio.

iOS 26 is going to put your passport on your iPhone — everything we know so far about Apple's Digital IDs
When iOS 26 arrives later this fall, it will bring a newfound capability to your iPhone — the ability to tote around a digital ID in the Wallet app based on your U.S. passport. That's a potentially significant addition. When you have to establish who you are, not many official documents carry the weight of a passport, which not only permits travel but establishes your residency, age and identity. The digital ID coming to iOS 26 won't be a complete stand-in for your physical passport, but it will serve a number of key purposes when you're asked to present an ID, either in the real world or with online apps. And it continues Apple's ongoing goal of turning your iPhone into the only device for payments and IDs, letting you keep your wallet in your pocket or even entirely at home. Here's what we know so far about the digital ID features in iOS 26 Wallet, along with some other changes that are part of the updated app that travelers will find relevant. Let's get the description straight from Apple and its iOS 26 preview page: In the Wallet app, you'll be able to "create a digital ID in Wallet using your U.S. passport." You'll then be able to flash that ID stored on your phone in many — though not all — of the places where a physical passport might work. That's where the "not all" part of the description above kicks in. When the Digital ID feature lands on your iPhone later this year, don't expect to be able to use it to hop on a flight to Istanbul or some other international destination. You'll still need a physical passport for that. Because there are more destinations in the world than international ones. According to Apple, the Digital ID card will work at supported TSA checkpoints for domestic travel. It can also be used to provide identity and age verification in other instances, particularly in apps. In that sense, it will work much like the state ID and drivers licenses that iOS already supports, at lest in the nine states and Puerto Rico that offer this feature. Those digital IDs are accepted at some TSA checkpoints and can be used to help verify your identity in apps, such as when you apply for a credit card online and need to prove you are who you say you are. That's difficult to say. The fine print on Apple's explainer page on the ID in Wallet feature lists 14 airports across the U.S. and Puerto Rico where state IDs work at TSA checkpoints. Presumably, the number will grow as digital IDs based on U.S. passports arrive. Again, that's not entirely clear. The feature is arriving this fall, and it's not part of the iOS 26 developer beta that's currently available for download. Presumably, it won't be part of the public beta that arrives in July either. This sounds like something we're going to have to wait until the fall release of iOS 26 to test out. However, if you don't mind some speculation on my part, I imagine it will be a lot like the process for applying for a digital ID with your drivers licenses or state ID card. And because I live in one of the places where that's supported, I can tell you a little bit about what that's like. When I applied for my state ID card, I had to scan both the front and back of my drivers license. I also had to snap a current photo using my iPhone's front camera. But that's not all. In California, at least, my iPhone walked my through taking addition shots — ones where I had to smile, close my eyes and tilt my head upward. My iPhone would vibrate to let me know when each of these extra shots had been collected with the FaceID camera. Then all of those shots and the ID card scans were transmitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles to make sure everything checked out. I imagine you'll also have to scan pages of your physical passport with your phone and submit similar photos for vetting by the U.S. Department of State. Correct, only U.S. passports can be used to create this Digital ID that's coming with iOS 26. Presumably, Apple would have to work with governments in other countries to offer a similar feature for citizens of the U.K., Australia and elsewhere. Apple introduced this feature in iOS 16, and its slowly grown over the last couple years. Besides Puerto Rico, the nine U.S. states where you can apply for a digital ID via the Wallet app are: Apple says more support from more states is coming. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Digital IDs based on U.S. passports won't be the only travel-related addition to Wallet when iOS 26 arrives. Apple is also promising beefed-up boarding passes from airlines when you add those tickets to Wallet. Boarding passes stored in the app are also going to include links to airport maps, not only helping you mind your way to your assigned gate but also what kind of services are nearby. Find Me support will be built in as well, so that you can track down luggage — presumably so long as you've equipped that luggage with one of Apple's AirTags. My favorite boarding pass addition coming to Wallet is support for Live Activities, which will be shareable. That way, you'll be able to directly share your ETA with anyone waiting for you at your destination directly from the Wallet app. As with the Digital ID, it's difficult to gauge how all this will work in the iOS 26 developer beta, as I imagine it will involve some degree of adoption by airlines. And testing those features is going to require a boarding pass, too. But come this fall, I'm eager to hit the road and see what Wallet has to offer on my next airport trip.

Why Alphabet Stock Flopped on Friday
The company didn't have a good day in a top European court. The court's key advisor recommended that the tech titan's appeal against a large fine be rejected. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) stock didn't finish the trading week on a high note. The Google parent company's two listed shares both sank by nearly 4% in price that day, thanks in no small part to a development on the regulatory front. Those declines were notably more pronounced than the S&P 500 index's 0.2% slip on the day. Alphabet's key business unit Google is on the hook to pay a 4.1 billion euro ($4.7 billion) fine to the European Union (EU), after it ruled in 2018 that the company actively stifled search engine competition with its Android mobile operating system. The tech giant has, not surprisingly, appealed that fine. That appeal is now pending at the highest court in the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). In what has to be considered a setback for Google/Alphabet, the CJEU's advocate-general -- the court's top advisory official -- recommended that Google's appeal be dismissed. In her recommendation, Juliane Kokott said that "Google held a dominant position in several markets of the Android-ecosystem and thus benefited from network effects that enabled it to ensure that users used Google Search." Although Kokott's recommendations are non-binding, CJEU justices typically accept and follow the advice of the court's advocate-general. Alphabet has not yet publicly commented on this latest development in its appeal. Alphabet did get something of a break with the fine, as it was cut slightly from the original amount of over 4.3 billion euros ($4.9 billion) to the 4.1 billion euros currently hanging over it. The company, sprawling and powerful as it is, can easily afford the fine in the likely case its appeal fails. However, a defeat would illustrate Alphabet's continued vulnerability to anti-competitive lawsuits like the EU's.

Analysts reboot Micron Technology stock price target ahead of earnings
Analysts reboot Micron Technology stock price target ahead of earnings originally appeared on TheStreet. An elephant might never forget but Micron Technology () has more storage space. The Boise, Idaho, company makes memory and storage chips for data centers, computers and smartphones, and its client list includes such tech-sector superstars as AI-chip chieftain Nvidia () , Mac and iPhone maker Apple () , Facebook parent Meta Platforms () and software kingpin Microsoft () . 💵💰Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter 💰 Make no mistake, there's money in memories, and we're not just talking about those singing cats on Broadway. "After the historic downturn of 2022–2023, the memory industry has entered a phase of strong recovery. In 2024, memory revenue reached a record $170 billion,' according to market researcher Yole Group. "This rebound was fueled by AI-training requirements in data centers, with [high-bandwidth memory) playing a pivotal role due to its premium pricing and performance advantages," the firm added. HBM continues to outperform the broader DRAM chip segment, Yole Group said. This year HBM revenue is set to nearly double to around $34 billion. Micron is a key player in the HBM market, offering solutions like HBM3E and HBM4 designed for high-performance computing and AI applications. The company recently joined the Trump administration to unveil plans to expand its U.S. investments to about $150 billion in domestic memory manufacturing and $50 billion in research and development, creating an estimated 90,000 direct and indirect jobs. More Tech Stocks: Amazon tries to make AI great again (or maybe for the first time) Veteran portfolio manager raises eyebrows with latest Meta Platforms move Google plans major AI shift after Meta's surprising $14 billion move 'Micron's U.S. memory manufacturing and R&D plans underscore our commitment to driving innovation and strengthening the domestic semiconductor industry,' Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said in a statement. The company's shares are up nearly up nearly 45% this year and off 16% from this time in 2024. Investment firms have been issuing research reports for Micron Technology ahead of its fiscal-third-quarter earnings report, scheduled for June 25. Wedbush boosted its price target on Micron to $150 from $130 while maintaining an outperform rating. The firm said memory-pricing trends turned more positive in the second quarter. And while Wedbush said it doesn't see as significant an inflection in Q3 as it had been expecting back in March, the firm said pricing for both DRAM and NAND, which are two types of semiconductor memory, "still will lift over the next couple of quarters." Better fundamentals are driven by stronger enterprise/server demand, which started around April and looks to hold through the rest of the year, Wedbush said. Demand for both AI and standard workloads appears better than might have been initially anticipated, it said. "Moreover, we view growing [high-bandwidth memory] requirements as not just positive for MU's numbers but also ultimately positive for industry dynamics as [capital spending] and clean-room space are reallocated to support HBM growth," Wedbush will limit the likelihood of too much supply of NAND/DRAM, and it increases the probability that production of more standard parts will trail demand. That, the firm said, would create a more positive pricing/margin cycle vs. what is embedded in its expectations, the firm said. Morgan Stanley maintained an equal-weight rating and $98 price target on Micron, given how much the stock has rallied already, according to The Fly. But the investment firm is "tactically bullish," given that AI spending is materially accelerating as Micron grows its participation. The investment firm, which notes that its estimates remain 20% above consensus for August-quarter earnings, also highlights Sandisk, () which it likes better long term and on which it has an overweight rating. Based in Milpitas, Calif., Sandisk designs and produces flash-memory products, including memory cards, USB flash drives and solid-state drives. Consensus numbers have started to come up for Micron over the past few weeks, but in addition to Morgan Stanley being about 20% above consensus for August earnings per share, the firm is also 14% above for November after it raised estimates six weeks reboot Micron Technology stock price target ahead of earnings first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 20, 2025, where it first appeared.
