Satechi has just introduced a fresh portfolio of charging gear at CES 2025 that taps into the next-gen Qi2 wireless charging standard. The first addition to the lineup is the OntheGo power bank, which comes in 10,000 mAh and 5,000 mAh variants.

These power banks offer up to 15-watt charging output and embrace an improved heat dissipation design. They natively support iPhones with MagSafe hardware, but will also play just fine with Qi2-ready Android phones or devices protected with a magnetic case.

A cool perk of the new OntheGo series is support for passthrough charging, which means they can supply juice to the phone without adding electrochemical juice to the battery. We have already seen similar implementations on phones such as the Red Magic 10 Pro.

It’s a clever way to avoid the battery charging cycle conundrum, which naturally takes a toll on the standard longevity of any Lithium ion-based pack. “Passthrough charging capability allows users to keep their devices powered while docked, ideal for long video calls or binge-watching sessions,” says the company.

These power banks also come with a kickstand built-in, and thanks to the magnetic ring connection, any compatible phone can be propped up in a vertical or landscape position, based on the use case.

The stand offers a freedom of angular adjustment of 120 degreest. Build materials include an aluminum frame and scratch-averse silicon charging surface.

Next in line are the Satechi OntheGo wireless chargers. If you carry a whole suite of electronic devices on you as part of your daily routine — such as a smartwatch and wireless earbud — these chargers are almost a must-have.

Their utility primarily has to do with their versatility and pocketable build. For example, the OntheGo range from Satechi offers a foldable design that is nearly the size of a puck and can be easily slipped into a bag or jeans pocket.

Armed with Qi2 support, the new Satechi wireless chargers will be available in 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 versions. Capable of delivering up to 15W power to phones and 5W to accessories, these chargers require only a single USB-C cable and rock a premium vegan leather build.

“Adjustable hands-free functionality supports StandBymode, Nightstand mode, and more, delivering versatility in any environment,” Satechi claims. The OntheGo series of wireless chargers and power banks start at $70, go up to $100, and will be up for grabs in the second quarter of 2025.

Stardust, Flo and other popular period trackers flunk Mozilla’s latest privacy test
Euki scored a perfect 10, whereas Stardust scored a dismal 2 on privacy.

Your period tracker knows some of your most personal health details. The question is whether it keeps them private. Mozilla has published a new privacy review of six popular period tracking apps, ranking them from best to worst based on how they collect, store, and share sensitive reproductive health data.

One app earned a perfect score for keeping data on your device, while another landed at the bottom after researchers found it shared users' health information with an analytics company. These findings arrive at a time when privacy around reproductive health data remains a growing concern, especially after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the US.

Google is less than a month away from launching the Pixel 11 series. The company has already started teasing the phones ahead of its August 12 event, including a brief look at the new Pixel Glow light built into the camera bar. We expect to see the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold on stage.

The more affordable Pixel 11a will probably arrive much later, likely in spring 2027. Still, a new leak from Mystic Leaks has already revealed most of its hardware, and Google may be fixing the biggest compromise it made on the Pixel 10a.

Apple has raised the price of every iPhone currently sold through its online store in Japan. The increase covers the iPhone 16, iPhone 17e, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, with prices climbing by as much as 11.3%.

The change arrives only a month after Apple raised Mac and iPad prices worldwide due to the ongoing memory crunch. This increase, however, appears to have more to do with the falling value of the Japanese yen.
