Mophie wants to make it easier for you to charge your devices, and has announced a variety of new charging solutions, including a wireless charger and a range of external batteries.

Like the rest of the new products, the Charge Force Powerstation is an external battery, but it’s able to charge devices wirelessly. The device features a massive 10,000mAh battery, and is compatible with all of Mophie’s Charge Force battery cases for the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy S series. With the device, you can also go the old-school route with the built-in USB port.

“From software to hardware, developments in mobile tech happen daily,” said Mophie co-founder and President Shawn Dougherty in a statement. “The one remaining constant is anxiety over keeping our devices powered. Today, this affects more people than ever, so we innovate 24/7 with this in mind.”

Apart from the Charge Force Powerstation, a range of other external batteries have also been announced. The Powerstation USB-C, as the name suggests, features both a USB-C and a USB-A port, as well as a huge 10,000mAh battery. The Powerstation USB-C costs $100.

Next up is the Powerstation Plus, which comes in three models. The Powerstation Plus Mini has a 4,000mAh battery, the Powerstation Plus has a 6,000mAh battery, and the Powerstation Plus XL has a 12,000mAh battery. The Powerstation Plus starts at $60, and offers Mophie’s switch-tip design, which makes it compatible with both iPhones and Android devices.

Last but not least is the standard Powerstation, which also comes in a number of different models. The Powerstation Mini has a 3,000mAh battery, the standard Powerstation a 6,000mAh battery, the Powerstation XL a 10,000mAh battery, and the Powerstation XXL a huge 20,000mAh battery. The Powerstation starts at $30.

Apple’s latest iOS 27.2 trick could keep you out of the doghouse

Apple only started rolling out iOS 27 yesterday, but Apple is already working on the next update, which has a small feature that could prove surprisingly useful. As MacRumors points out, the latest iOS 27.2 beta adds an anniversary reminder to Call Context, which can warn you about an important date just before you place a call.

Call Context itself arrived with iOS 27. We previously covered one of its more delightful tricks, where calling someone on their birthday brings up a reminder along with a small fireworks animation. The iOS 27.2 beta now takes that idea a little further by adding anniversaries into the mix.

I feel like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is the right kind of passport foldable
Passport foldables are everywhere now, but Samsung got the proportions right
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable smartphone

Passport-style foldables are returning, but in a foldable format. Samsung completely changed direction with the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Xiaomi followed with the 18 Fold, and Apple has now entered the category with the iPhone Duo. Even though the original Google Pixel Fold explored the same short-and-wide idea years ago, this is looking like the new smartphone trend in 2026.

After spending years with book-style foldables, I am warming up to this decision. I prefer the idea of keeping the phone compact when closed and opening it only when I need more room.
