It’s Official: Apple Needs to Drop a New Version of AirPods ASAP

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-07-20 22:34:02

Remember AirPods? You probably do, because they’re literally everywhere, all the time, but if you don’t, it’s because Apple has seemingly neglected its hyper-popular wireless earbuds for a while now—or it’s at least failed to give us a model that actually counts as an upgrade. While AirPods 4 were released in 2024, the only notable upgrades back then were USB-C charging (hardly groundbreaking) and a new H2 chip that most people will probably overlook. That means the last real upgrade was actuall

Yet, what are the things that really matter when buying a new model? I'm going to sum up the most important ones right here. HDMI inputs With most TVs and set-top boxes supporting HDMI, you should buy a receiver that has as many of these HDMI input ports and outputs as possible.

TL;DR The UGREEN MagFlow is the first power bank with official Qi 2.2 certification. Qi 2.2 enables faster 25W magnetic wireless charging with improved heat control. Most Android phones can’t take full advantage yet, but support is expected to grow. Magnetic wireless charging has been a talking point in 2025, with Android phones like the Galaxy S25 offering partial support through accessories, but no true adoption of the full Qi 2 standard.

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority When it comes to buying a new smartphone, it’s easy to get caught up in all the hype. Manufacturers constantly push the latest and greatest features, leading many of us to buy more phone than we actually need. When I’m in the market for a new phone, I always try to narrow down my options as much as possible.
