The TRKOY Magsafe Power Bank is now £140 cheaper than it was.

The TRKOY power bank is designed to snap securely onto your iPhone with a strong magnetic grip.
It's compatible with a wide range of iPhone models (generations 12-16), as well as MagSafe-compatible cases.
Weighing just 120g and measuring only 11.8mm thick, the device is ultra-lightweight, portable - and nope, it won't block your camera.
Better yet, it's got dual charging options.
These allow for both wireless charging for MagSafe-compatible iPhones and high-speed wired charging via USB-C.
The 5000mAh battery capacity is ideal for a day out - the manufacturers state this can fully charge an iPhone 16 up to 1.3 times.
Safety features include an intelligent cooling chip and built-in safeguards against overcharging, overheating, and short-circuiting.
The device has earned rave reviews on Amazon, with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 from over 400 customers.
Many buyers have praised its slim design, reliability, and convenience.
"Compact. Reliable. Surprisingly powerful," writes one shopper. "It's easily one of the most convenient gadgets I own.
"It's ultra-slim and pocket-friendly, perfect for travel or just daily use without the bulk. The MagSafe-style wireless charging feature is a game-changer."
"An absolute must-have!" says another customer. "It snaps onto my iPhone like magic with a solid magnetic hold that doesn't budge, even when I'm walking or using the phone."
Another buyer writes: "The wireless charging works flawlessly with my phone... The battery level indicator is a nice touch.

Starmer clashes with senior MP over welfare reform

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer clashed with one of his senior MPs over welfare reform as she said she felt 'ashamed' of the 'poor' legislation the Government had put forward. Work and pensions committee chairwoman Debbie Abrahams said the welfare bill was 'far removed' from Labour values as she questioned the Prime Minister at the Liaison Committee. She asked Sir Keir what he would like to say to the disabled people who experienced 'fear and anxiety' before the Government made concessions on its bill. 'Well, it's very important that they feel secure and supported, and that is at the heart of what we are doing in the changes we are making to welfare and related areas,' he said. Sir Keir said he did not accept that it would take several years before labour market changes allow more disabled people to be employed following Sir Charlie Mayfield's review, due in the autumn. Mrs Abrahams asked what he would do to mitigate against a potential 50,000 newly disabled people being pushed into poverty. Sir Keir said: 'I don't accept that everything is going to take years. Some changes do take years, but not all changes take years, and we have to do work in the interim to give that support to those with disabilities.' Mrs Abrahams said she felt 'ashamed' of the 'poor' welfare legislation the Government put forward. 'This was poor legislation. It was designed to save money for the Treasury by cutting support to sick and disabled people. 'It was so far removed from Labour values of fairness and social justice, let alone compassion and common decency. 'I have to say I felt ashamed.' Sir Keir later said he thought he could 'engage Parliament more' when asked what he might do differently after his first year, but also said he wants to remind people of the 'improvements' the Government has made. After a year in office, Sir Keir was asked what he wanted the UK to look like at the end of his first term in No 10. He said: 'I want people to feel better off and there has to be a central focus on living standards. 'I want them to feel – as they will – that the health service is working much better, is there for them and their families in a way that it hasn't been for many years. 'And I want them to feel safe and secure, both in their immediate neighbourhood and as a country, both our borders and national security and defence. 'So, they're the three things that I'm focused on more than anything else.' Sir Keir's drive to improve the NHS could be derailed if resident doctors in England go ahead with strike action, which is due to begin on Friday. The Tory government faced waves of strike action in the NHS, which contributed to care backlogs. The Prime Minister has put international co-operation, including a promised one-in, one-out deal to return small boat migrants to France, at the heart of measures to control the borders. But arrivals are running at record levels for this point in a year, with the latest Home Office showing 23,534 people had crossed in small boats so far in 2025. The Liaison Committee, a panel made up of senior MPs who chair the various Commons select committees, was focusing on measures to tackle poverty. The Prime Minister, who is under pressure from within his own party to scrap the two-child benefits cap, said: 'People will not feel better-off or safe and secure if we haven't tackled poverty.' He said there were four 'limbs' to the Government's strategy: increasing incomes, decreasing costs, strengthening local support, including measures to get people into work and boosting financial resilience. 'I'm very proud of the fact that the last Labour government drove down poverty and I'm determined this Government is going to as well,' Sir Keir said.

Google giveaway offers free smartwatch and earbuds ahead of Pixel 10 launch

The Pixel 10 is set to be unveiled at the annual Made By Google event on August 20, but these Pixel 9 deals may too good to miss. Google has confirmed when it will unveil the new Pixel 10 smartphone, but the tech giant's latest giveaway may tempt shoppers into sticking with the current model. Google's annual Made by Google event is set for August 20 in New York City, where it will showcase its latest Pixel devices, including phones, watches and earbuds. Ahead of the event, the Pixel 9 range has dropped to a record low price as retailers tempt shoppers into picking up the 2024 model. One of our favourite deals comes from Currys-backed retailer which is handing out free Google gadgets with orders of the Google Pixel 9. Customers can get their hands on Pixel Buds A Series, Pixel Buds Pro 2 and a Pixel Watch 3 when signing up for select 24-month contracts. The Pixel Buds A are bundled in with a choice of plans, including iD Mobile's £24.99 per month deal, alongside 100GB of data for a £59 upfront cost. There's also the option to increase the monthly cost to £27.99 to lower the upfront cost to £9. However, this works out at £22 more expensive over the life of the plan. For the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, a standout package is the iD Mobile £28.99 plan, with £9 upfront for 100GB of data. Those preferring a free Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) can opt for iD Mobile's £28.99 plan, offering 100GB with a £59 upfront cost. The free gift with each package will be delivered with the handset to the address provided at the checkout, however the deal is only available while stocks last. It's worth noting that iD Mobile – like most providers – will increase its prices every April alongside inflation. The company has already set out its changes, with the £24.99 plan rising to £26.49 from April 2026 and £27.99 from 1st April 2027. Taking into account the £59 upfront cost, the total amount paid over 24 months comes to £715.76, but those who prefer to buy the phone outright can currently find a cheaper deal elsewhere. That's because an unlocked Google Pixel 9 256GB has fallen from £899 to £597 at Amazon – a £302 saving. This is the cheapest price ever offered for the handset, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. Sky Mobile is another option, with the 128GB model now at £21 when spreading the cost, with £12 upfront. However, this comes on a longer 36-month contract and must be purchased with a Sky data plan, ranging from £0 for 100MB to £20 for unlimited. The Google Pixel 9 has earned some rave reviews on Amazon, where it currently boasts a 4.4-star rating. One happy customer said, 'Brilliant. The phone feels quality, and the build is excellent. The transfer of data from a Samsung S21 was simple. The camera is excellent. The OS is less fussy than Samsung.' Another said: 'Good all-round phone. Good, solid case. Clear screen with Android 14 but upgraded to 15. Includes Gemini AI software. Seems intuitive, but only time will tell how useful it is.' However, the same user found a downside, adding: "The only criticism is that there is no SD card slot to increase memory. If you take and store a lot of photos, you will have to keep transferring to another memory medium.' But another five-star review said: 'Excellent product. Has a sleek design and lightweight, lovely features and great value for money. It is also very easy to use.'
