Both models include ANC, with the higher-end version adding on-stem volume controls and a wireless-charging case, for up to 20 hours of total battery life. Prices start at $129, with the wireless-charging variant at $149. Pre-orders open today, with shipments due September 18.
MacRumors reports the foldable iPhone Duo supports MagSafe wireless charging up to 25W (Qi2.2 25W with third‑party accessories) and faster wired charging, reaching 50% in about 20 minutes, though it’s slightly slower than the iPhone 18 Pro/Max. It goes on sale Oct 16 with a full launch Oct 23, starting at $1,999 for 256GB.
Google's Pixel 11 Pro sharpens the Pixel experience with stronger battery life, a tougher display, and faster wireless charging, while keeping a polished OS and long-term software support. But it’s heavy for its compact size, still slow on wired charging, ships with less RAM than last year, and faces price and performance gaps against rivals like the Galaxy S26 and iPhone 17 Pro, so it’s best for Pixel fans rather than as the best overall value.
UGreen’s MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank costs $149.99 for a 10,000mAh pack that includes a built‑in micro‑pump circulating coolant to draw heat away from the battery and charging coil. It supports Qi2.2 wireless charging up to 25W and a USB‑C port up to 45W, with cooling designed to prolong battery life and keep devices cooler, at a premium price.
Lenovo’s Pen Pro for Googlebook has cleared Bluetooth SIG, signaling a premium USI stylus designed for the Googlebook Duet m. It features magnetic wireless charging, true pen form factor, pressure sensitivity, and built-in gestures (Circle to Search, side-switch swipes, double-tap screenshots, and fast pairing), positioning Lenovo’s accessory as the main companion for Google’s new tablet.
The piece highlights five Anker products as strong alternative to first‑party gear: MagGo power banks (5,000 mAh and 10,000 mAh) offering faster, cheaper charging for iPhone 16/17; the Anker Prime 3‑in‑1 MagGo wireless charging station with AirCool for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods; a 140W four‑port charger with a real‑time display; the Soundcore Boom 2 portable speaker with 80W output, IPX7 rating, 24‑hour playtime and built‑in power bank; and the Prime Power Bank (26,250 mAh, 300W) with rapid charging and a companion app — collectively framed as delivering better value and features than many official options.
Google’s Pixel 11 Pro sticks to a familiar design but with a vastly larger camera bar, removal of the temperature sensor, and new color options (including a matte Obsidian). It uses a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED with brighter output and the same 8-bit panel, plus Gorilla Glass Victus 2; PWM remains at 240Hz. The 4850 mAh battery is still typical one-day use, with wired charging at 30W taking about 1.5 hours for a full charge (55% in 30 minutes), while wireless charging now supports up to 25W with Qi2 magnets for MagSafe-like use. Overall, it’s a refined but not revolutionary upgrade.
Anker's 2026 lineup adds high-powered charging and portable docking, including the Prime Charging Base (150W, dual USB-C and USB-A, pogo-pin Power Bank charging, app monitoring, ActiveShield 4.0), the Nano Charger (45W GaN, four colorways, 180-degree folding plug, rotating smart screen with real-time charging data and safety cooling), the 13-in-1 Nano Docking Station (split design for desktop or travel, up to two/three 4K displays, up to 10 Gbps data, SD card readers, USB ports, HDMI 4K@60, Ethernet 1 Gbps, 100W power), and the Prime Qi2 Wireless Charging Station (three-in-one stand with 25W charging, thermoelectric cooling, digital clock, NFC-enabled Bluetooth setup).
A tech roundup highlights five standout Anker accessories that outperform competitors: the 25,000 mAh Anker Laptop Power Bank with up to 165W total output and built-in cables; the 735 Charger 65W Nano II GaN wall charger; the MagGo 3-in-1 Qi2 15W foldable charging station with an included 40W USB-C brick; the Soundcore Q20i budget ANC headphones; and the Eufy Dual Cam S330 video doorbell with dual 2K HDR cameras, real-time delivery alerts, familiar-face/pet detection, and 8GB storage. The piece cites third-party tests and Amazon reviews to support performance and value, comparing these picks to rivals like Ugreen and Twelve South while emphasizing affordability and modern smartphone compatibility.

Tesla’s North American Model Y L keeps a three-row, six-seat layout but is longer (7 inches overall, 6-inch wheelbase) with a body-integrated rear spoiler that adds about 15 miles of range and increases third-row headroom. North American builds ride on 20-inch Uberhelix wheels (EPA range 320 miles with these wheels vs 325 miles with 19-inch), and use a standard 15W non-cooled wireless charger (China’s version is 50W with active cooling; a higher-wattage NA pad is planned for future rollout). Inside, the Y L adds a 19-speaker audio system and improved second/third-row comfort. Tesla says the Launch Series is nearly sold out and deliveries begin in September, with upgrades across the lineup coming in step with higher-wattage charging adoption.
Five top Anker picks for Samsung devices: the 45W PPS-capable Anker Nano Charger, the MagGo Wireless Charger Stand (Qi2) for magnetic-compatible Samsung phones, the Powerline II USB-C to USB-C cable (USB 3.2 Gen 2, up to 10Gbps, 100W), the 313 Wireless Charger, and the 332 USB-C Hub (HDMI 4K, Dex compatible). The piece notes speed caveats for certain models, magnet/case requirements for MagGo, a Micro-USB connector on the 313, and Dex compatibility for the hub, with typical prices around $16–$35 based on expert and buyer feedback.
