I tested Google’s Pixelsnap vs the Pixel Stand, and one is clearly better in every way

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 11:00:54

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I don’t usually develop a near instant dislike of new technology, but I’ve quickly come to loathe the new Pixelsnap accessory for the Pixel 10 series. While MagSafe certainly has its merits, Google’s little charging puck is not going to convince me that this is what the future of wireless charging looks like. Especially not when I have the highly regarded Pixel Stand 2nd Gen on my desk (which I’ll refer to as the Pixel Stand from here on out) against which to c

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-20 14:47:12

With iPhone Air, Apple reintroduced the MagSafe battery pack. It’s $99, and optimized specifically for iPhone Air. It’s rather slim, though it’s rather weak in capacity – making Qi2 alternatives all the more interesting. We’ll be delving into the top options on the market, just in case you want a MagSafe battery for your iPhone without spending $99, or aren’t buying the iPhone Air. Since Apple opened up the MagSafe standard as Qi2 last year, third parties have been able to make MagSafe chargers

Given grid constraints, that’s not always possible. EV trucks are one of several energy users currently searching for space on an increasingly crowded electrical grid.
