The Wolfbox MF60, a rechargeable electric air duster capable of spinning up to 110,000 RPM and producing air speeds of 72.4 m/s, is now selling for $33.99, down 32% from its $49.99 list price.

Wireless chargers using the Qi2 standard convert energy less efficiently than wired cables, losing up to 30 percent of power as heat during the charging process. That extra heat can degrade smartphone battery capacity by up to 12 percent over two years, and as much as 25 percent in hot climates or environments.
DailyObjects has released the Node, a modular wireless charging system that lets users rearrange and detach individual charging pucks rather than being locked into one fixed hub layout for phone, earbuds, and smartwatch. Reviewer Dhruv Bhutani tested it for over a month, noting its pieces can be carried separately, unlike most all-in-one charging stations on the market.
Porsche has launched Wireless Charging for its Cayenne Electric SUV, letting drivers park over a ground pad to begin charging automatically without plugging in a cable. The system pairs a pad under the vehicle with a weatherproof outdoor ground pad, delivering up to 11 kW at roughly 90% efficiency, and includes motion sensors and foreign-object detection to halt charging if an animal or metal object is detected. The feature is rolling out in stages and is currently orderable in Germany and other European markets.
A troubleshooting guide outlines the most frequent reasons an iPad fails to charge, including faulty or underpowered chargers, damaged cables, extreme temperatures, and batteries that have been fully drained after long periods of disuse. It recommends using official or high-wattage first-party chargers, testing multiple cables and outlets to isolate the problem, and avoiding charging in very hot or cold conditions.
A hands-on test of the Pixel 11 Pro XL's advertised 25W wireless charging found the PixelSnap charger topping out at just 23W, well short of its rated speed and the 31W previously measured on the Pixel 10 Pro XL. The charger also took roughly six minutes to ramp up to peak power, cycling between voltage levels before settling, and could only sustain that peak for a similarly short window.
Chinese regulator 3C has listed model numbers matching the Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra with 60W wired charging support. Separate battery filings suggest the two phones could pack 5,200mAh and 5,700mAh cells respectively, up from the current Ultra's 5,000mAh unit.
Mophie's MagSafe 3-in-1 Charging Stand, which charges an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods simultaneously, is now on sale at roughly 49 percent off its usual price. The stand's standout feature is a telescoping pole that lets the iPhone pad extend from 7.5 to 16 inches and tilt, and the charger is both MFi and Qi certified, delivering up to 15 watts to the phone and 5 watts each to the watch and earbuds. It ships with a 36-watt power supply and a 5-foot USB-C cable.
Leaker Digital Chat Station shared a near-complete spec list for the OnePlus 16 after it cleared network access certification in China. The phone is tipped to pack a 9,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, a 200MP primary camera alongside 50MP ultrawide and telephoto lenses, and a 165-185Hz display. It's expected to run on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip with up to 16GB of RAM.
Ars Technica revisited the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5, testing an AWD Limited trim with an 84 kWh battery, NACS charging port, and 320 hp output following the car's early 2025 refresh. The reviewer found the retro styling and fast-charging capability still hold up well five years after launch, though the AWD version's range drops to 269 miles compared to 318 miles for the rear-wheel-drive model.
Retailers are discounting the Pixel Watch 5 LTE model by roughly 20%, or about $100 off, just weeks after its launch. The smartwatch includes heart-rate tracking, over 50 workout modes, cellular connectivity, and fast charging.
