Mophie cuts the cord with its first wireless charging iPhone 6S and Galaxy S7 cases

Charging devices is a little annoying, but it’s set to get easier — wireless charging is on the rise, and while only certain phones currently allow for it, some companies are trying to bring it to everyone.

Take Mophie, for example. The company has launched a new series of battery cases, called Juice Pack Wireless cases, with wireless charging built in, as well as a number of accessories for those cases, all designed to make your charging life a little easier.

The cases finally bring wireless charging to the iPhone 6, 6S, 6 Plus, and 6S Plus, however the case is also available for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The best thing about the new products isn’t that they offer wireless charging, however. It’s that they couple that wireless charging with magnets to make charging even easier.

“Wireless charging is being integrated into our lives at coffee shops, restaurants, airports, in furniture, cars, and so on,” said Mophie COO and co-founder Shawn Dougherty, in a statement. “By providing a diverse range of wireless charging options, we’ve taken the performance and convenience of mobile power even further.”

Along with the cases, Mophie is also offering a desk mount and a car vent mount — instead of having to clip the phone in like other car mounts, you simple touch it to the mount, and the magnets will hold in in place. And the charging will proceed.

The battery inside the cases is 1,560mAh for the smaller iPhone 6 and 6S, and 2,420mAh for the larger iPhone 6 Plus and 6S Plus. The charging technology inside the cases is Qi, which is a pretty standard technology for wireless charging — which means that if you don’t want to use a Mophie charging base, you don’t have to.

Of course, Mophie isn’t the only company offering wireless charging cases. The iPhone has never had wireless charging as an option, prompting a number of companies to release wireless charging cases of their own. Still, the fact that the case is magnetic and connects to other related accessories is an interesting addition, and while it’s not that groundbreaking, it does make things a little easier. The only drawback? The price — the new products start at $100, which isn’t cheap, especially when there are other wireless charging cases out there for less.

The Mophie charging cases, desk mount, and car mount are available from mophie.com and Best Buy, and will be available through Apple in coming weeks. Check out the video below for more info.

I tested the Galaxy S25 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro cameras, this one wins
Samsung Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16 Pro

Smartphones have been getting bigger for years, but as they’ve done so, a new realm of smaller phones has launched to cater to those who want something more pocket-friendly. By small, I don’t mean Mini — although I’d love Mini phones to make a comeback — but rather, more friendly when using them with one hand.

Both Samsung and Apple have helped pioneer this trend, by ensuring there’s a smartphone that’s the perfect size for any needs. Yet, they’ve taken different approaches to doing so, as part of differing strategies on what the ideal smartphone lineup should look like.

Is the Galaxy S25 Ultra zoom the best? I tested it and it’s close
The back of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The year was 2020, the month was February and Samsung had just kicked off yet another smartphone generation. The Galaxy S20 Ultra brought a lot of new features to the market, but crucially, Samsung’s marketing also made long zoom features and Ultra branding extremely desirable.

One of the key reasons to buy the Galaxy S20 Ultra — and subsequent Ultra phones from Samsung — was the camera. It featured a 108MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 48MP periscope telephoto camera that offered 4x optical zoom and 10x hybrid zoom. The latter also enabled the new 100X Space Zoom feature, which Samsung still promotes on its Ultra phones today.
