Apple’s new iPhone models support faster charging – the iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max can hit 50% in just 20 minutes, while the slim iPhone Air needs 30 minutes to get to the 50% mark. It shouldn’t surprise you – but it should disappoint you – that Apple did this in the most Apple way possible. According to the official specs, the 20 minute time is achieved using Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max. First, that’s a terrible name for a charger. Second, let’s be clear – it’s a 40W charger that can deliver 60W for a limited amount of time (over 15 minutes, according to early...
As it's supposed to launch in January, Samsung is already very busy working on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and we've heard a lot of rumors about it recently. Today a new leak purports to bring us two shots of cases for the upcoming device. These most likely originate at the case maker itself, since such companies need to be given detailed dimensions for upcoming phones in order to have their accessories ready to launch at the same time.

Hold on, is Nothing building a walkie-talkie? Last week, the company posted an image of the Nothing Ear (3), which prominently featured a Talk button. However, the company didn’t provide an explanation of what that button does. A new image was posted on Nothing’s Instagram account saying “Ear (3) with Super Mic. Now they can hear you.”. Here’s the image: Ear (3) with Super Mic. Now they can hear you. Notice that her thumb is right over the Talk button. The Super Mic itself isn’t seen in this image (it’s on the right side of the case), so we have to turn to a previous post to see...
Motorola has been filling in the Moto G_6 ranks with phones like the recently announced Moto G06 and G06 Power. Another new model is on the way, the Motorola XT2533-4, which just landed on TENAA. This will likely launch under the name Moto G36. This model is equipped with a 6.72” LCD with 1,080 x 2,400px resolution.

Samsung will start mass production of the Exynos 2600 this month, report industry insiders. This is the first chipset on its 2nm GAA node (Gate All Around) and will be used in the upcoming Galaxy S26 series, including the flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra, according to Daishin Securities. Using the Exynos 2500 on the Galaxy Z Flip7 helped Samsung cut costs in its mobile division, while also propping up its LSI division (that’s the division that makes the Exynos chips). The goal is to do the same at a larger scale with the Exynos 2600 and the Galaxy S26 series. Earlier this year, the head of...
Meta let slip that it will launch its first smart glasses with a built-in HUD by posting a video on YouTube (which has since been removed). In the video, the glasses were paired with Meta’s sEMG wristband, which is used to control the interface. The glasses offer a fixed HUD, which is visible to the right eye only. There is no attempt to integrate the visuals into the real world – these are not AR glasses – instead the idea is to have constant access to Meta AI, messaging, navigation and more. These glasses have slightly chunkier frames and are reportedly heavier – measuring 70g,...
