Logitech’s New Folding Mouse Is Designed For Work On The Go
Most professionals own a mouse, few will use one in a cafe. Logitech thinks the answer folds in half and lives in your pocket.
Logitech has unveiled the Mobi Fold, its first foldable mouse, pitched squarely at people who work from airport lounges, cafes and hotel lobbies rather than a fixed desk. The device collapses to roughly half its size, powers on automatically when opened and switches off when folded.
The company’s case rests on a gap in its own research: 72% of professionals own a mouse, but only 26% use one in public. Logitech blames the “bulk and friction” of conventional designs, which leave most people defaulting to the trackpad. The Mobi Fold, it claims, reduces muscle strain by 22% compared with a laptop trackpad.
“For a long time, people have left their mice behind simply because they were a hassle to carry around, not because they didn’t want to use one,” said Joseph Mingori, VP and General Manager at Logitech, adding that the company aims to ensure a professional setup is a constant, not a compromise.
The spec sheet is genuinely travel-minded. The mouse pairs with up to three devices over Bluetooth and works across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS and Linux. Quiet-clicks keep it inoffensive in shared spaces, the hinge is tested to withstand 15 years of daily use, and the exterior is drop-tested and wrapped in a dust-resistant silicone sleeve. A one-minute charge yields 22 hours of use; a full charge lasts up to 30 days. An on-device AI model helps prevent unintentional clicks while folding, and it is the first Logitech input device certified for Google’s Fast Pair. Adaptive Touch Scrolling and two customizable buttons, configured through the Logi Options+ app, handle the precision work.

Logitech is also leaning on sustainability credentials: up to 36% post-consumer recycled plastic in Graphite models, magnets made entirely from post-consumer recycled rare earth metal, and FSC-certified packaging. Three colorways were announced – Graphite, Lilac and Off-White – though the availability notice mentions only Graphite.
Pricing has not been announced, which is likely the one spec that decides whether a second mouse earns its place in a travel setup.

New Disney+ Streaming App Has Officially Launched In The UAE
The app’s recommendations now factor in what’s popular in the UAE, and a dedicated Junior Mode gives kids their own corner of Disney+.
A new Disney+ app has officially launched in the UAE, and subscribers can now keep watching their favorite titles when they travel. Disney+ says access extends across supported markets in Europe, the United States and beyond.
The app is built around a dynamic homepage and simpler navigation, with recommendations drawn from each customer’s viewing habits and what’s popular in the UAE. Content from Hulu and ESPN is now easier to find alongside Disney+’s own library, the company says. Audio and subtitles come in up to 25 languages, and supported devices get high-quality video and sound.
For families, the app includes Junior Mode, a dedicated, simplified version of Disney+ for younger viewers, built around age-appropriate shows and movies. It sits alongside existing controls such as PIN-protected profiles, customizable content ratings and account notifications when a profile is changed.
The catalog still spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX. Returning series include Season 8 of “The Kardashians,” Season 23 of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Season 38 of “The Simpsons”. Also on the service are the second season of International Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series “Rivals,” comedy “Only Murders in the Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis 2” and 20th Century Studios’ “Send Help”.

Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest” is on the way, and Disney’s live-action “Moana” is due later this autumn. Beyond Hollywood, the Turkish title “Halef” is coming to the platform alongside a lineup of Korean entertainment: Korean-Japanese romantic comedy “Merry Berry Love” is streaming now, and “The Remarried Empress” arrives November 4.
Existing subscribers will be prompted to download the new app and sign in with their current credentials, with on-screen steps covering account confirmation and profile setup. Subscriptions start at AED 49.99 per month and can be canceled at any time.
For UAE subscribers planning to travel, the update will likely be well received, but Disney has left one question open. It confirms Europe and the United States as supported markets but doesn’t yet say which others fall under and beyond.
