If you have a Thunderbolt 3-enabled device, you’ve likely looked for a Thunderbolt 3 dock. The technology is fantastic, providing insane throughput rates and giving many different options when it comes to features. You can power a device, send (or receive) display information, and have high-bandwidth devices like Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.1, and more all over one cable.

I had a Thunderbolt 3 docking station with my 2016 MacBook Pro and it was fantastic. With a single cable, I could drive my UltraWide monitor (or my dual 27-inch 1440p monitors before it), get Ethernet, SD card support, and more. My dock didn’t quite fulfill all of my wants though, as it didn’t provide a full 87W of power. That’s where Sonnet’s new Echo 11 Thunderbolt 3 Dock comes in, with 87W USB-C Power Delivery, Gigabit Ethernet, and more in one slick package.

Ken Kocienda worked at Apple from 2001 through 2016. On September 4, Kocienda is releasing a new book ‘Creative Selection’ (preorder: Amazon, iBooks), that details Apple’s design process from the inside, retelling his own anecdotes of working on the iPhone and iPad, demoing to Steve Jobs and more.

In this exclusive excerpt, you get a sense of how designing the iPhone software keyboard was anything but obvious. In late 2005, Apple paused all internal development on iPhone and told all engineers to invent keyboard concepts.
