Belkin's Switch 2 Pro case adds power and storage, but at a premium

Belkin's Pro Charging Case for the Nintendo Switch 2 packs a 10,000mAh battery, doubles as a stand, includes built-in game storage and a hidden AirTag pouch, and adds a front-edge USB‑C cutout plus an external port so you can recharge the Switch 2 without pulling a cable; it’s a more elegant, convenient solution than the non‑Pro but costs $100, is bigger and heavier, and the battery isn’t ideal as a standalone pack, so it’s worth it mainly if you want an all‑in‑one charging/media case.

DarkSword: a fileless iPhone hack targets iOS 18 users

Researchers reveal a new hack called DarkSword that can instantly access data on iPhones running iOS 18.4–18.6.2 simply by visiting a malicious webpage. It’s a fileless attack that can grab sensitive data (including messages, iCloud content, and crypto wallets) and then erase itself. Apple has patched related flaws in newer iOS releases (26 and 18.7) and recommends updating; Safari’s Safe Browsing can block some of the malicious URLs. While about 24% of iPhone users remain on iOS 18, applying available updates mitigates the risk.
