Star Trek Discovery props promo

I really like the props; they are by far my favourite bit of the released content so far. And I like how they've tried to make the Klingon stuff look more alien, and less like just a different coloured version of the Federation props.
 
The Starfleet props are by far the best part of the production design. The phaser*, the communicator*, the tricorder*, the delta badge*, all look great because they are the best of both worlds. Based in the iconic TOS designs but made with modern production values and technology. Congrats to the designer(s).

(* Can't wait to buy them in any replica or toy form they make them!)
 
I already love the Starfleet props, but if they change the setting on the phaser by twisting the Cage-style barrel, I will cheer, while watching the show.
 
True, but that rotating barrel would have been awkward to switch if it didnt have a button. Twisting at the end of the barrel is easier by end.
But how would somebody with only one arm use that?*

(*Sorry. In constant accessibility-mindset).
 
One of news articles said it was an iPod nano
Interesting. Didn't see that article, but to me it looks closer to the iPhone than the closest-looking nano:

The Fed stuff looks superb. I still feel the Klingon stuff is too busy and too ornamental. Though if these are personal items of some ancient nobles (seems probable) then I guess it's fine.

Looks too small to be an iPhone, and look at the size of the 'home' button. compared to the rest of it.
