Mophie’s new Powerstation can now recharge phones and laptops

Mophie is known as one of the top competitors when it comes to external batteries and chargers, but most of its offerings have so far been focused on phones. Now, it looks like the company wants to change that, and it has taken the wraps off of its latest external battery pack, the Mophie Powerstation AC.

So what’s so different about the Powerstation AC? For starters, it boasts a 100W AC output, which means you will be able to plug in your laptop, camera batteries, and other devices to keep them nice and charged up on the go. According to Mophie, the battery in the Powerstation AC is capable of delivering an extra 15 hours of battery life to the Apple MacBook — though we imagine that’s without the device charging anything else as well.

Thankfully, the Powerstation AC doesn’t only have an AC output — it also has a few standard USB ports as well for charging your other devices. The device offers one USB-C port and one USB-A port, which, coupled with the AC port, means you can charge your laptop, phone, and another device all while on the go.

The Powerstation AC also offers Mophie‘s Priority+ charging technology — meaning that when you plug the battery itself in to charge, it will first pass through any energy to devices plugged into the USB-C port to charge them up before topping up itself. We wish the same applied to the USB-C ports and AC port, but it seems as though only the USB-A port is supported this time around.

Under the hood, the device features a 22,000mAh battery, which is pretty large. The trade-off is that the device itself is a little large — about the size of a medium book. It’s a little heavy too, coming in at 4.44 ounces. Still, if you’re carrying around a backpack, the size and weight shouldn’t be that big of an issue, and this battery is clearly built for situations in which you have a laptop with you anyway.

So how much will the Powerstation AC set you back? $200 — which makes it one of Mophie’s more expensive battery packs. Still, it could be well worth it for those that often find themselves running out of power. This isn’t the first battery pack with a power outlet that we’ve seen — others from ChargeTech and Jackery have been on the market for some time now. But it is the first from the likes of Mophie, which is a pretty well-respected brand in the battery pack business. Mophie did have the Powerstation XXL last year, and while it was a large battery, it only had USB-A and USB-C ports — no AC outlet.

Check out the video below for more information on the Mophie Powerstation AC, and head to the Mophie website to buy one.

This phone is a selfie superstar, but I can’t recommend it
The Huawei Nova 13 Pro's selfie cameras in action.

Selfies and vlogging are the Huawei Nova 13 Pro’s forte, and I apologize in advance for the fact that you’re going to have to look at my visage to see its ability for yourself. But thankfully, the rear camera is also really good, so our sample photos don’t only feature yours truly.

Spending time with it has been really interesting, as it has shown me that despite other factors, Huawei has lost none of its photographic ability. Still, I don't think it's a phone for most people. Here's why.

Conflicting reports on the Galaxy S25 Slim have me worried
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra's camera lenses.

The Galaxy S25 Slim has been the subject of much discussion and speculation, but the latest leaks suggest it won't be coming to the US market — at least through any US-based carriers. It could still be available in different ways.

Evan Blass, a tipster responsible for a large amount of the information we know about the S25 series, posted on X that the S25 Slim "will almost certainly not be offered through US carriers. In the markets where it is offered, expect it to be positioned between the S25 Plus and Ultra, marketing- and price-wise."

I love this new Mail feature in iOS 18.2, but it still needs work
iOS 18.2 mail categories.

In iOS 18.2, Apple introduced a significant update to the Mail app by adding a new Categories feature. This feature, which works on any supported iPhone like the iPhone 16, aims to help users manage their inboxes more effectively by automatically sorting messages into different boxes: Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions. Categorizing emails is not entirely new, as apps like Spark and Gmail have long offered similar functionalities. However, this is the first time Apple has embraced the concept for its native Mail app.

I was excited when Apple first announced iOS 18 and the Mail Categories feature. While I want to reduce my reliance on email, it will always play a significant role in my digital life. If Apple can provide a more efficient way to organize my emails, that would be fantastic. Thank you, Tim Cook!
