Apple’s iPhone Fold Rumored Dual-Cell Battery; Longer Life Likely Only With iPhone 18 Pro Max

Rumors say the iPhone Fold will pack a dual-cell 4,883mAh battery (1,921mAh + 2,962mAh), smaller than the iPhone 18 Pro Max’s capacity. Longer runtime is expected only if you upgrade to the Pro Max, which is said to deliver endurance comparable to high-capacity Android flagships; the foldable may also use Apple’s 2nm A20 Pro SoC and potentially changes to baseband/Face ID, but details remain unconfirmed.

HP OmniBook Ultra 14 raises the bar for premium ultraportables with OLED and max RAM

HP’s OmniBook Ultra 14 stands as HP’s strongest ultraportable yet, pairing a durable forged-aluminum chassis and a slim 2.8‑lb form with a 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreen (120Hz) and strong battery life. It offers extensive configurability—from up to 64GB RAM and 2TB storage to Intel Core Ultra X9 388H or Snapdragon CPUs—and solid performance, even in light gaming. However, high-end configs are pricey, and notable downsides include the lack of HDMI, SD card reader, and USB-A ports.

iPhone 18 Pro Max leans into a longer battery life upgrade

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max is tipped to get its biggest battery boost yet, with US models reportedly packing a 5,567mAh cell (vs. 4,823–5,088mAh on the 17 Pro Max across regions) and Chinese variants around 4,056–4,288mAh. The jump is aided by Apple’s switch to an eSIM-only design in the US, freeing space for a larger pack, and is expected to pair with a next-gen A-series chip and more efficient displays to deliver noticeably longer endurance, narrowing the gap with Android flagships. Launch is anticipated later this year.

Overnight Star Timelapse Proves GoPro Mission 1 Pro Has Stamina

A Digital Camera World author tests the GoPro Mission 1 Pro by leaving it on a beach overnight to shoot a 4K night-sky timelapse. With a larger sensor and bigger battery, the camera ran roughly from midnight to just after sunrise (about 00:20–05:30), delivering usable 8MP stills and demonstrating impressive endurance for a compact action camera without needing an external power source.

Summer Heat Exposes the iPhone Air’s Battery Dilemma

A Digital Trends feature recalls how the iPhone Air, praised for its slim, one-handed usability, struggles in extreme heat: once temperatures rise past about 95°F (and ambient temps exceed 100°F), the phone can overheat, trigger cooling warnings, and experience rapid, often irreversible battery drain. The piece advises practical steps to protect the battery—stay out of direct sun, don’t chill it in the fridge, use gradual cooling, and opt for slower charging since fast charging adds more heat—highlighting how heat can erase the benefits of a compact design and force more frequent recharging in summer.

Longevity playbook: 7 must-haves for a phone that lasts years

A practical checklist for buying a phone that stays usable for years: prioritize a long update policy (top brands offer up to seven years of OS/security updates), check battery cycle ratings (Samsung leads with around 2,000 cycles, Pixel about 1,000), opt for a large battery (5,000mAh+), ensure ample storage (256GB base recommended, with microSD where available), demand solid performance (modern chips and 8GB RAM or more), consider durability (strong glass like Victus and solid IP ratings), and verify repairability/spare-parts access (official repair networks or easy DIY options).

iPhone 18 Pro Max May Rival Silicon-Carbon Android Runtime, Rumor Claims

Rumors claim the iPhone 18 Pro Max could match or exceed Android flagships’ runtimes thanks to a larger eSIM battery of 5,567mAh, a forthcoming 2nm A20 Pro SoC, and iOS 27’s improved CPU scheduling. This could bring iPhone endurance closer to devices with 7,000mAh silicon-carbon cells, though real-world battery life depends on multiple factors beyond capacity. A full Android-vs-iPhone showdown is expected later this year as 2nm Android flagships roll out.

Sony's Neck Cooling Wearable Ships in the US Ahead of Summer Heat

A CNET tester reviews Sony's Reon Pocket Pro Plus, a neck-worn cooling and warming device that uses a Peltier plate, sensors, and an app to adjust temperature. It’s discreet, quiet and capable of 41–104°F with smart mode, delivering up to about 15 hours of battery life, but it’s not waterproof, can require fiddling during movement, and at $260 is pricier than handheld fans like Shark ChillPill, making it a premium option during heat waves.

Sony Reon Pocket Pro Plus: High-Tech Neck Cooler, Low Real-World Fit

A PCMag tester finds Sony's Reon Pocket Pro Plus packs clever neck-mounted cooling/heating tech and solid battery life, controllable via buttons or an app with smart mode, but its bulk, visibility, shifting plate, and lack of weatherproofing make it impractical for everyday wear; at $259.99 it's a niche gadget, with a cheaper fan-based alternative like Shark ChillPill recommended for most users.

Budget Galaxy M47 battery behemoth could outlast flagship S26 Ultra

Samsung’s budget Galaxy M47 (the Indian version of the Galaxy A27 5G) packs a 6,000 mAh battery at around $245, delivering far more stamina than the $1,300 Galaxy S26 Ultra, which sticks to 5,000 mAh; the M47 features a 6.7-inch 120Hz display, triple cameras, 6 GB RAM, Android 16/One UI 8.5 with six OS upgrades, and microSD expansion, though it’s only confirmed for India for now and not the US. Battery tests cited by the article suggest the S26 Ultra’s endurance lags behind rivals like the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
