Range: Micro (with a Retro design; a fusion)
 
Model: iFlask (iCan with a retro design

)
 
Skin: The skin changes to a retro design, as well as raises the power needs. Who wouldn't like having a flask on their desk?
 
Reason: Successful designers tend to create great ideas when high on acid, so to emulate that... just kidding

Range: Micro
Model: iCan2
 
The iDAC got a new successor not long ago (the iDAC2), and it only makes sense that the iCan would receive the same treatment!
 
Reason for Mascot name: A reference to the scientific phenomenon called the "skin effect" where AC current density tends to be the largest on the surface of a conductor (such as a wire).

Range: Micro
 
Model: iCan 2
 
Reason: The ican is the oldest model around (2013), or one of the oldest still selling from IFi. Needs an update like idac, idsd is recent (2014), retro too...2015 lol.
The nano series came after the micro series and where based on the ican and idac micro versions. So the micro ican being updated is the most plausible.
Though enjoying it now. The second plausible would be the itube, but the ican is more "important" and more sold out.

Range: Micro
Model: iUSB 3.0

Reason: The iUSB Power is long overdue for an upgrade, and it being bundled with Mercury or Gemini for the first two prizes is a pretty big giveaway. (Not to mention, my local iFi dealer has been trying to clear stock of the iUSB by selling it at 30% off)

Range: Micro
Model: iDSD
 
A revamped iDSD since it's one of the one which hasn't got upgraded recently. Power to help it charge faster, and can be used to full wattage potential even without iFi stack. Also, iDSD is awesome.
