Amazon has launched a broad Anker summer sale on its latest MagSafe chargers, Nano power adapters, cables, docks, and more starting from $8 with Prime shipping, featuring notable cuts on items like the 3-in-1 Qi2 MagSafe Charging Station, Qi2 smart charger, 45W Nano charger, the SOLIX S2000, and a wide range of power banks, docking stations, wireless chargers, car chargers, and cables.
PopSockets launches the Low-Pro, a super-thin MagSafe-backed grip that sits below the camera bump, costs $40, and will debut in Apple Stores and PopSockets.com (with other retailers later). It features a rear kickstand, claims to withstand 30+ pounds of pulling, and is marketed to broaden appeal—especially to men—while remaining compatible with MagSafe charging.
The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to continue using the same aluminum alloy as the 17 Pro, delivering strong heat dissipation and durability, but color scratches and surface wear are still anticipated. Apple previously noted that marks on iPhone 17 Pro demos were caused by worn MagSafe stands and are removable with cleaning, and the 18 Pro is expected to come in four colors while preserving similar pros and cons as its predecessor.
The Verge highlights a two-pack deal on Anker’s Qi2 magnetic wireless chargers: two Zolo chargers for $23.99 ($16 off) from Amazon and Anker (code WS7DV2PK68EW). Each charger includes a built-in five-foot USB-C cable, supports up to 15W, and can top up an iPhone 17 Pro Max quickly, with MagSafe compatibility and temperature monitoring. Wall adapters aren’t included, but the bundle comes with a cable tie and a 24-month warranty. The post also flags additional deals on the UE Wonderboom 4 speaker, Dyson Hushjet purifier, and Govee Floor Lamp 3 Lite.
Leaked case images for the iPhone Ultra suggest a horizontally unfolding, wide-foldable with a two‑camera rear island, side‑mounted Touch ID, MagSafe support, and a punch‑hole camera, hinting at a tablet‑like design and signaling a broader push into foldables amid rival launches.
Leaked MagSafe cases and a hands-on video reveal the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max color lineup for 2026, headlined by a Deep wine-like Dark Cherry alongside Light Blue and Dark Gray, with Silver reportedly missing; the Dark Cherry color is expected to replace the iPhone 17 Pro’s Cosmic Orange. Additional leaks hint at a smaller Dynamic Island cutout and thicker bodies, meaning new cases may not fit older models. Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro launch is anticipated around September 2026.
Anker’s 25W Prime MagSafe 3-in-1 packs Qi2.2 wireless charging and active cooling into a compact, travel-friendly stand that can charge iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch simultaneously. It includes a 45W brick and USB-C cable, claims 50% iPhone 17 Pro charging in 26 minutes, and is listed on Amazon with Prime for about $105 (roughly 30% off), offering MagSafe Duo-like portability with added three-device support.
Images of third‑party clear cases for the iPhone 18 lineup hint Apple may revert to a transparent MagSafe ring design on the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, moving away from the opaque white panel introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro clear case. The designs align with rumors about the new models, suggesting a course correction to keep the case mostly transparent while showcasing the Apple logo and camera layout; the iPhone 18 lineup is expected to be announced in the fall.
Anker’s Prime 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station is down to $104.99 on Amazon, matching an all-time low. It supports Qi2.2 fast charging up to 25W for iPhone via MagSafe and can charge Apple Watch and AirPods simultaneously, with additional Anker discounts highlighted on Amazon and Anker’s site.
A Weibo leaker claims Apple is internally debating whether MagSafe should remain a standard iPhone feature, weighing the costs of magnets against the thriving accessory ecosystem. History shows fluctuating support (16e omitted MagSafe, 17e restored it), and a forthcoming foldable iPhone Ultra may omit MagSafe; still, there’s no indication of an imminent removal across the lineup, and Qi2 compatibility makes a full MagSafe purge unlikely.
Some iPhone Air units plunge into a black screen and refuse to boot after the battery hits 0%, even when plugged in. While Apple patched a separate CVE-2026-28950 issue, users report this zero-battery 'black screen' bug; suggested workarounds include using a USB-A charger or, more reliably, placing the phone on a MagSafe wireless charger for 15–30 minutes to revive it. The exact cause is unclear and Apple has not issued an official fix yet, though reports link it to recent iOS 26.4/26.5 beta releases.
A supply-chain rumor suggests the Galaxy S27 could shift its rear camera layout to free space for internal Qi2 magnets, enabling MagSafe-style accessories. While the Galaxy S26 already supports Qi2.2 magnetic cases, internal magnets would be a more significant design change and could be delayed or canceled due to rising costs; there may also be unspecified camera hardware upgrades, but nothing is confirmed.
Rumored iPhone Fold would be a passport-style foldable with a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, skipping MagSafe and the action button, relocating volume controls to the top and embedding Touch ID in the side power button; the device reportedly stays around 4.5 mm thick unfolded and aims for a pocketable yet tablet-like experience, but its reception will depend on how users feel about the MagSafe/Face ID trade-offs.
MacRumors reports that the foldable iPhone Ultra, priced around $2,000, may omit five features found on the iPhone 18 Pro models—MagSafe, the Action Button, Face ID/TrueDepth, a telephoto camera, and a physical SIM card slot—hinting at a Touch ID revival and a two-camera rear setup, with launch expected alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in fall.
Anker kicked off an Earth Day sale with up to 40% off chargers and accessories on Amazon and Anker.com, led by the Prime 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station at $119.99 (down from $149.99) and a range of MagSafe-compatible and portable charging options, plus tiered discounts based on spend.
