iPadOS 26 is a huge update for iPad users, with the biggest productivity changes ever introduced on the platform.

Cadillac Optiq 2025 Review: Prices, Specs, Availability

The 2025 Cadillac Optiq is the US brand’s shot at capturing buyers of small, high-end EVs in North America and several other markets. It’s the latest in a lineup of five electric models from a brand recasting itself as all (or mostly) electric, tech-forward, and truly global—unlike its US luxury-barge image of past decades. I spent eight days in an Optiq in early May, and drove 840 miles throughout upstate New York and environs, and also New York City. It’s a quiet and comfortable small-SUV EV

I love the OnePlus 13, but the official wireless charger is just maddening

Robert Triggs / Android Authority I’m a chaotic gadget charger, topping up my phone as and when rather than sticking to a rigorous overnight routine like a normal person. As such, you might think that wireless charging would be right up my street — pop the phone down, give it a little juice, and be back on my way. Unfortunately, wireless charging is notoriously slow, meaning that even half an hour on the dock is seldom enough for me. Thankfully, a few brands, mainly from China, offer fast(er)

MagSafe Monday: UGREEN’s 145W Power Bank is a MagSafe beast that charges everything

As part of its continued efforts to own the libs, or get rid of anything President Trump does not like or understand, the General Services Administration is gearing up to remove electric chargers from all federal properties nationwide. The agency says the hundreds of chargers and estimated 8,000 plugs available for federal workers to charge their cars are “not mission critical.” The agency, which manages buildings owned by the federal government as well as vehicles, will also offload any EVs pur

All the news about EV charging in the US

The state of electric vehicle charging in North America is shaping up like the smartphone charging wars — but focused on much more expensive hardware. Right now, like USB-C and Android phones, the Combined Charging System (CCS, Type 1) plug is on a greater variety of cars. Meanwhile, Tesla’s plug was long compared to Apple and Lightning. But while Apple eventually adopted USB-C, Tesla is opening up its connector, renaming it the North American Charging Standard (NACS), and trying to shove CCS o

How the EU’s DMA is changing Big Tech: all of the news and updates

The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) has come into force, and it’s meant that some of the world’s biggest tech companies are having to make major changes to how they operate.

Did Samsung just cancel the fancy 3-in-1 charger it showed off at Unpacked?

TL;DR Samsung has pulled the product page for its recently announced three-in-one wireless charger. This suggests that the Galaxy maker may have canceled the accessory, but we’ve asked the company for more information. Samsung quietly announced a new three-in-one wireless charger alongside the Galaxy S25 phones last month. The company didn’t offer many details at the time, but it now looks like this product has vanished. SammyGuru noticed that Samsung recently pulled the official product page

Galaxy Buds 3 Pro charging flaw leaves users with one dead earbud

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Multiple Galaxy Buds 3 Pro owners claim to be experiencing an issue where one of their earbuds isn’t charging. It appears this issue has been a common one for the last few months. Some users have found a temporary solution. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro last year, there were a few hiccups in the quality control department. The tech giant even had to temporarily suspend shipments at one point. While some issues have been fixed since then, it

Testing confirms MagSafe doesn’t interfere with Apple’s C1 modem in iPhone 16e

The iPhone 16e lacks support for MagSafe charging, an omission that has dominated conversations about Apple’s cheapest iPhone model this week. Initially, there was speculation that MagSafe might have been excluded due to interference with Apple’s C1 chip, which is its first-ever cellular modem designed for the iPhone. Yesterday, Apple confirmed that the C1 has nothing to do with the omission of MagSafe on the iPhone 16e. New testing conducted by an iPhone case accessory manufacturer and shared

The Morning After: Apple reveals its new cheapest iPhone. What’s missing?

The price has been bumped up, but so have the specs. If you couldn’t stomach $800 for a new iPhone with Apple Intelligence, don’t worry: Apple just announced the iPhone 16e. At $599, it strikes a balance on specs, which is the soft and cosy way to say it doesn’t have everything. It has a lot, though. With a 6.1-inch screen, it’s a much bigger device than the 4.7-inch iPhone SE, with a notch for FaceID (no more TouchID), USB-C (adios, Lightning) and the company’s A18 processor. There’s also an

This $25 wireless charger is better than Apple's product (and comes with a long cord)

ZDNET's key takeaways The Anker MagGo Qi2 magnetic wireless charger pad is available for only $25. It's a cheap high-speed Qi2 compatible wireless charger, but well-built and features a long cord.

The iPhone 16e's lack of MagSafe doesn't make sense

The iPhone 16e, Apple's replacement for the iPhone SE, has plenty of features that make it a good deal, from its A18 chip to the fact that it actually comes with an OLED screen. But one glaring omission in its spec sheet makes no sense: Why doesn't this $599 phone have MagSafe? Despite looking a lot like an iPhone 14, and using components that are similar to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16e doesn't support MagSafe or fast wireless charging. Apple expects iPhone 16e owners to be happy with the same
