Mophie’s new wireless chargers stay fast and cool without noisy fans.

To ensure its new Qi2.2 wireless chargers consistently deliver power at 25W without overheating, Mophie’s StealthCharge tech relocates some of the charging components to the device’s base while a heat sink transfers heat away from the magnetic pad. The new collection includes a 4-in-1, 3-in-1, and a travel charger featuring the tech.

<em>The $149.95 foldable Roam 3-in-1 Travel Charger can wirelessly charge a smartphone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.</em>
<em>The $179.95 4-in-1 Apple Wireless Charge Stand can wirelessly charge three devices and a fourth using a retractable USB-C cable.</em>
<em>The $149.95 3-in-1 Apple Wireless Charge Stand can wirelessly charge three devices. All three of Mophie’s new chargers are now available from Apple and Mophie’s online store.</em>

Vivo’s next foldable will support its add-on telephoto.

The X Fold 6 doesn’t launch until later this month, but we already know it’ll be compatible with the X300 Ultra’s 200mm telephoto lens. It’ll have a meaty camera of its own too, with a 200-megapixel, 1/1.4-inch main camera and a 50-megapixel, 1/1.95-inch telephoto.

TCL’s 65-inch mini-LED TV is a great early Prime Day deal.

The TCL QM6K is $527.99 ($70 off) at Amazon, or $529.99 at Best Buy, with attractive discounts on larger sizes, too. The mini-LED panel is a great value for the price, stocked with Google TV software, quantum dots for richer contrast, and variable refresh rate that goes up to 144 Hz for smooth gaming.

Nimble’s shareable power bank that splits into two batteries is now available.

After first debuting at CES 2026, the Champ Stack 10K, renamed to the Sharepower, is now available through Apple and Nimble’s online store for $79.95.

Snazzy Labs got their Trump Phone preorder and it’s a disaster.

Quinn Nelson is one of the lucky (?) few to actually get their hands on the T1. The Trump Mobile emails kept going to spam, the site is broken, and a customer service agent asked for his password over the phone. Spoiler: Things didn’t get better once he turned it on.

My mayor’s Muslim, my bagel’s Jewish, my heart rate’s fried, KNICKS IN FIVE!

Oura says New Yorkers’ hearts were palpitating on Wednesday night during Game 4. Turns out, baseline heart rates increased by 3.7 beats on average at the final buzzer. Heart rates were also elevated for the entirety of the game, and nobody seemed to get a peaceful night of sleep. Guessing we’re in for more of the same on Saturday.
