The best MagSafe power banks for your iPhone

One of the first guides I ever worked on for Engadget was about power banks. In the years since, I’ve tested more than 50 portable batteries to keep our top picks as up-to-date as possible. Now that the iPhone 17 is on the horizon — and rumored to be the thinnest ever — we wanted to devote some space to MagSafe battery packs in particular. I gathered up a new crop of batteries to test and compared the results with our existing data to pick the best MagSafe-compatible battery out there. As we

Battery life is the top reason cited for upgrading. The high price of a new iPhone is one reason for not upgrading.

What Does 'Awe Dropping' Even Mean? Decoding Apple's iPhone 17 Event Announcement

Apple's big fall event is less than a week away, and we're still puzzling over the tagline and animated logo that accompanied invitations to the Sept. 9 "Awe dropping" gathering. Is the iconic Apple logo on fire? Does it portend a new heat-sensing feature of the Vision Pro that will make you feel like a Predator hunting prey through the jungle? Or maybe a designer at Apple just came up with a cool-looking effect and thought it would be fun to use it? Nah, the company has a history of enigmatic

Joe Maring / Android Authority Losing your Android phone or having it stolen is never fun. While Google’s Find Hub can make the ordeal a lot less stressful, it isn’t a 100% foolproof solution to recovering a lost device. As with all things in life, having a backup plan is a good idea. In addition to Find Hub, lost Samsung phones also have the option of being found via Samsung’s SmartThings Find service.

I’d be more excited about the Pixel 10 Pro if it had this iPhone camera feature

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The Pixel 10 Pro sits in quite an awkward spot this year. The main differentiator between the standard Pixel and the Pro model has long been the third camera, but that gap closed with the Pixel 10 also rocking a three-cam setup this time. Getting a solid telephoto camera on a $200 cheaper phone already sabotages the 10 Pro’s position as the real ‘Pro’ for most people.
